The best plans don't always go...

 The best plans...

,,,don't always go the way you want. Ours was to enjoy another GIOS Raduno so we flew up to Milan, rented a car and headed to our old HQ, Hotel Ariotto.

We pulled our our blue bikes out of storage, took 'em for a brief test ride and then enjoyed some cycling on our e-gravel bikes.

 

The GIOS bikes were packed into the car on Saturday evening after a couple of days of gorgeous sunshine only for us to wake up Sunday morning to...RAIN.

We waited to see if things would clear up before making the hour drive to the outskirts of Torino but no luck...so we went back to bed.

Monday morning it was again gorgeous but we packed the e-bikes in the car and headed south to Tuscany. More on that in the next post.

Sorry Marco, Aldo and the rest of the GIOS blue family! We'll be back in 2027!
