GAVIA POSTERS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE























Hot Off the Press! The new edition of Andy racing over the snowy Gavia Pass in the 1988 Giro d'Italia is now available for purchase. A big shout out to HampCo's pal Rich Roat of House Industries for making this oldie more groovy! Rich and his staff cut short their rides to tell the whole story by superimposing the stage profile. Photo was taken on the uphill where we can read 2390 near the summit. The 25k descent to Bormio is where the time gaps opened. Andy has been heard muttering "Once I passed Santa Caterina the snow turned back to rain, hard to say which was worst.."
Image is 16"/22" on heavy archival paper. Great for framing or the fridge.

$35 (includes US shipping... see below for shipping options)
signed editions available too... just indicate that you would like a signed poster in the drop down menu below.

Grazie e Ciao

---------------------







(This is my retirement party, so drink a glass of Brunello di Montalcino while you read this. Salute!).



Big thanks to Andy for the generous words below and for eight years of fun, creativity, collaboration, camaraderie, and good hard work at Cinghiale, Inc. It's been a great ride and I will miss the daily interaction with Andy and Elaine. They make a truly wonderful team. 

I am excited to be embarking on a new phase of my life with my art front and center. I'm developing  a new website that will consolidate my three lines of artistic work. Till then, you can keep an eye on what I'm up to at the following places:


Drop me a note if you feel so inspired - I'd love to hear from you. I'll still be popping up here from time to time too, so watch out for random art posts. 

Thanks for reading, and thanks for being part of the incomparable Cinghiale community. Ride your bike, eat good olive oil, look at art, and enjoy that glass of wine in good health -

Ciao!
Julia

A NEW HOME

For many years we have looked to Julia for daily piggy inspiration and now she moves on to inspire us in other ways. 
When the going gets tough, the tough find an art teacher. We are happy that even in these economic times people are still appreciating art, custom bike frames, and extra virgin olive oil. Julia is marching to her true calling, that of art, and besides teaching classes at a local college, she is teaching privately, all the while creating some pretty amazing pieces of her own... 
What does this mean for us? A happy farewell to our resident artist, Julia, and a new home for the mail.

Please note that our office/mailing address is now in Boulder, so please send your fan mail to:
Cinghiale Cycling Tours, Inc.
961 6th St.
Boulder, CO 80302
Elaine will be doing her best to fill in where Julia left off, so please send questions, comments and concerns to elaine@cinghiale.com... complaints still get sent to Andy.

A heartfelt thank you to Julia for all that she has done here at Cinghiale; she has been present every step of the way... and she will be missed!

We hope you all are enjoying some spring riding!
~The Cinghiale Crew
