We’ve stayed in the town of Barolo two nights and ridden all day through vineyards. It’s wine, wine, wine! We had a wine tasting and I bought some good bottles, all pure Barolo. Tomorrow we head into more hills. When we come back I’ll explore the Nizza wines. Stay tuned…My bike has been misbehaving, but still works okay. Might have fixed it now. Hope so. I was quite tired today. Three days of hills was too many. Thank God today was a short day. Done by lunch time. Whew…Went into town for lunch. Great food, amazing wine, cool castle. Rode past another cool castle also… This place is littered with castles, churches, towers.
Rode up to this castle. Impressive walls!
Tasty lunch, awesome 2013 wine.
Barolo has its own castle. I confess I dozed off in the courtyard…lunch was too good!
There are art spots here. Very touristic. AND is a full moon tonight.
…and so to bed… A wine-soaked day. Not so bad, eh?
Travelling around… looking and seeing
I’m enjoying your ride, Sanborn. Looking forward to you next pics.
Littered, I tell you–littered!
so picturesque! Love seeing you so happy.
I can’t see other comments for some reason. Is that intentional or just me?
beautiful day and trip and photos, thanks!
Sigh. I think it’s because I got behind in approving them. Now I’m really focused on it. You should start to see some.
Thank you. You aren’t signed in so all I can see is “Anonymous” as the author. Would you consider signing in?
I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I’m having a great time thinking of what to photograph and which ones to pick. And by doing so, I get to think about my friends while I’m here riding for hours…
I hope you’re doing well. Maybe up to 5.11s all the time now?!
Yes, completely littered. I barely notice anymore. A castle really has to stand out to get a shot. Churches, I almost don’t bother with anymore…so many!!
