Embarrassingly kind nod from Competitive Cyclist

Part of the fun of meeting people on our tours is enjoying their company throughout the years. Olivia and Christof came for our tours in Italy, and now are in touch whenever they run out of olive oil. They mentioned we had a write up in Competitive Cyclist, and we have to say it is very flattering.

Oil, Bikes, Tours: we seem to be the one-stop-shop for a tiny, fun group of people!

2010 Trip are on line!

Finalmente!! We have finished our new site, and our trips for '10 are posted in detail. Many thanks to Martin for his patience working with us, and his artistic talents going to use for our riding fun.

For those of you who have been with us before you might appreciate the new voice our writer Rob put into the text, he guides with us and knows how fun the trips are. If you have yet to join us on a Cinghiale trip please excuse the inside jokes.

a teaser for 2010...

With a fabulous 2009 season behind us... we look forward to the 2010 season. As some of you may have heard we have added our first ever tour in France: a hog-wild-wine-tasting-mountain climbing- lavender-smelling- good time. Join Andy as he revisits his epic 1992 climb up Alpe d'Huez as well as other infamous climbs: Ventoux, Izoard, Galibier...

I bike. You bike. New Yorkers bike too.

A favorite sunday tradition of our family is to crowd around the computer for the New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham's "On the Street" multimedia display of life and fashion of the week in NYC. Now, I know it's not NYC bike snob, but Cunningham is a fabulous guy who rides a bike around the city snapping photos of things he likes... and this week it was about the cyclists.... here's the link and cheers to the cyclists!
