The final tally for our week of riding across Italy shows 406 miles with 35,062 feet of climbing.  That’s for 8 days, and Race Day was essentially a rainout with only 14 miles on the day.

These numbers end up being not so different from our high mountain trips, if memory serves.  In the French Alps, we did around 400 miles and 40,000 ft. of climbing–not that we’re trying to measure the fun or satisfaction with statistics, of course……!
