Just read your blog. Very nice ride report. Whew! Lotta climbing - I admire that - obviously some level of suffering kept in a cheery light.
How sweet of George to ready your bikes like he did. What a nice surprise it must have been.
I'm always curious why people chose which bikes for long distance mountain passes of the kind you did. Sounds like you had a few road bikes to choose from. Why was Stella chosen over the others? What saddle did you use for this ride?

Great ride - dare I say, epic!
I was thinking, what you SHOULD do next year is the new Alta Alpina double century. That sounds like a worthy challenge for you!Sarah
