Under the weather in Italy

Your faithful scribe's not been up to his usual frequency for blog posts due to being "under the weather" these past few days. This photo taken from our window yesterday here in Viterbo pretty much sums it up. Tirreno-Adriatico starts today up in Tuscany where the weather was just as awful yesterday - let's hope it's better up there than it is here this morning. Larry's feeling better and the race (if they run it) will be on RAI3 later today so things are looking up. We may be heading to Sardegna next week and of course "la Primavera" (Milano-San Remo) is coming soon so perhaps the "comes in like a lion, goes our like a lamb" legend about the month of March will come true?
