A few days in SanRemo...

Well since i last posted the weather seems to have taken a turn for the worse in Dublin but in Italy the bad weather was about 4 weeks ago and some of the snow is still visable in shaded areas but the roads are dry and perfect. The pic on the right shows Piazza Vittorio which is where i am staying. Its amazing but also too good at nighttime so Niall would like it alot.


On the coast of Liguria it was fantastic especially the first day there. It was so warm i went out in shorts and a gillet.
Was bit chilly on descents but was really amazing
to be out Jan 2nd in this gear! And the scenery was incredible. This is the finishing area for the classic Milan SanRemo race won by Cavendish this year.

The weather wasnt always like this though and was cloudy the next 2 days but perfectly fine to ride in in legwarmers and the showers pass jackets came in handy on descents. The real interesting riding came on my second last day there when i was doing a really long climb of over 1hour and after 800m vertical ascending it was covered in a freezing fog and snow everywhere. Up until that it was perfect warm day but then i was soaked and frozen but i kept on going to feel like a tough guy. I totally regretted this on the descent when i was frozen alive and soaked!

Felt like gorey again! Pics and Vids of this to come...
