Bit by bit, I am doing everything I came to Italy to do. Yesterday I bought a bike, and it's beautiful: an old, blue Colnago in absolutely perfect shape. It has a steel frame, yellow handlebars, and Campagnolo components. It is exactly the bike I imagined myself riding here.
I couldn't imagine how perfect Piemonte is for cycling. We are surrounded by rolling hills that are packed with vineyards and Hazelnut groves and studded with hilltop villages. On a bike, you could spend all day exploring, visiting dozens of towns and wine DOC's without riding more than 25 miles from the home base. I am determined to see it all.
Sweet ride, Andy. I am so jealous! Enjoy.
