Wow, that's a coincidence. It's a beautiful area by bike or just to enjoy, and the weather was decent during that time. It was definitely a very well traveled area by bicycle, the drivers are so much better in that area than they are back home. Except maybe in roundabouts.

The road bikes were Bianchi Via Nirones (or Via Nironi if you please ) but the hybrids were some custom frame (and RED). It seems to be a pretty popular area for cycling tours, though we only ran into lone cyclists (one of whom had a penchant for snot rockets, we had two separate groups that both encountered and separately mentioned him), or kitted small groups (usually didn't say much, though one group was telling me how far I had to go to catch the girl who started first ). We actually wanted to join the trip September 27-October 3, but it was sold out and ended up 1 week later (same story for a lot of the people on our trip, actually, but we ended up with better weather).

Hope you enjoyed your trip, too.
