This was the worst stage of the tour in terms of weather and riding comfort. Just awful rain and sleet on all three climbs. These were some of the toughest climbs we biked on the tour and the cold temps (2deg) at the summits meant that most of us were frozen and exhausted and suffering hyperthermia at the end.

"La Bella Italia" Stage 23 Venice-Tramonti Di Sotto
Trouble navigating on this stage. Missed a turn at about halfway but we nsnaged to get back on track in the afternoon and arrived in camp just in time for a thunderstorm and rain soaked dinner. Garmin Connect link
"La Bella Italia" Stage 22 Chioggia-Venice
A sunny and warm day biking across the islands at the entrance to the Venice Laguna. The camping at Punta Sabioni was excellent and gave us a good base from which to explore Venice by ferry. Garmin Connect link

A relatively flat but hot stage through rural and industrial areas. Pleased to make it to camp at Sottomarina and a cold beer! Garmin Connect link

My current Strava cycling activities
Here are my recent biking activities on the free cycling GPS website Strava
Highland Fling MTB 2014
My 5th "Fling" @ 100km. Finally made podium after all these years! Came third in Grand Masters (60yrs) category. 9th visit to the Fling ( having done 4x 50 km. I found this years course very difficult. Particularly some new single track segments in Wingello. I did these earlier at the "Willo" so knew what to expect. Can't say I enjoyed the last 15 km. A good contingent of out mtb group turned up. We enjoyed dinner at Bundy Hotel on sat night after I had done the "Dash". A gopro video will be posted soon along with garmin link.
