After 7 days, 224 miles and 31,650 feet of climbing (that’s 141.15 feet climbed per mile), my Italian cycling adventure has come to an end. It’s time to head home to family, friends, work, and my own bike.

The good news is, I made it safely through The Maratona dles Domoites. The bad news is, I didn’t make the time cut for the medium course (I missed it by literally a couple of minutes), so I only did the short course. I was bummed, but I still had a good time. More later . . . .

My mom has been reading my blog from my trip through the Alps and the Dolomites and asked a question. I’d like to hear how all of you would answer it.

Day three of my Maratona tour with Ciclismo Classico as we ride from Rablá to Bolzano via Passo Palade and Passo Mendola. Once in Bolzano, I meet Ötzi the Iceman, have a wonderful pizza, and Italy’s best gelato.

The second day of my Maratona tour with Ciclismo Classico, and the first real day of riding. And what a day it was! We climbed the famed Passo Stelvio while covering a metric century distance and nearly 2,000 meters of climbing.
