It's Grande Tour Time

Well, summer is almost here and for cycling fans that means the grande tour season is upon us. Currently in Italy the Giro d'Italia is finishing it's second week of racing. One week to go until the final dash in to Milan. The majestic snow capped Dolomite mountains are the playground this week for the riders. Brutal climbs exist in northern Italy and having ridden some of the mountain passes in the Veneto region, I marvel at the courage and ability of the pros. 

Tonight, to celebrate the Giro,: Spicy and Sweet sausages, rosemary polenta, tomato compote and a rustic red wine. 

Cheers
