A page from Andy's "race bible".

our favorite French guide

relives the Barolo trip...aaahhhhhh.

He adds in his note, "Raining today. They cancelled the "Fete des Guides". Too bad!" Makes that all that green, rolling country look even lovelier.

Board meeting

Here we are in mid-July. Cinghiale Inc. has two great spring trips under our belt and the late August Dolomite Epic trip will be on us soon. Nothing to do but call a board meeting in Crested Butte, Co. with some of our trusty guides.

This rare photo shows Andy and Scot Nicol strategizing at 11,600 feet at a company HQ.

Happy July to you all!

Andy

From Enrico to our Barolo riders!

Hello Friends,

My legs took a rest; Barolo, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera are in my soul after a 8 intensive days in my body. The Langhe Tour teach us to riding well, especially to drink better! Anyway, thank you to everyone, Campioni di Barolo. I wish you a nice breakfast with special cappuccino and brioches.

Enrico

Enrico Carracciolo is our good friend, guide and pro photographer. See his photograph in the previous post.

A rough day in the Barolo region

Here is Enrico's surprise on our "Cheese Ride". We stopped an hour into the ride for a cappucino. It turns out we were served a still warm fresh cheese that was barely liquid and had shaved truffles on them, the croissants were also still warm with artichokes inside them. yum....

Marmolada and the Pordoi

For all you Dolomiti Summit Fest folks, especially, here's a great account of riding a couple of mountain passes in the Dolomites. I don't know about you, but for me reading this this makes the experience a bit more immediate and real. . .ouch.
