We spent the morning doing some more mountain passes including the impressive 2000 metre, single track Manghan. This is another technical drive, but luckily we had a clear road apart from a couple of lorries putting out the snow poles ready for winter. This is great passes but not one to be done on a day the locals use ht for a cycling tour which is evident from the chalked messages on the road. Spectators as with the Tour de France write messages to encourage the participants, but to be honest when you see the climbs on some of these passes, i never comprehend how these men and women cycle up them.
This morning we had a couple of huge Stag Dears run out whilst we we're on one of the passes. They were really awesome to watch and made a change from falling dogs.
We've left the mountains behind and now making our way to Imola, for the start of the Italian Job 2008, and boy what a difference in temparature. In the mountains we struggled to get above 10 degrees but now in basking in 21.
Humm... Time for some icecream me thinks!
