Motogiro d'Italia 2008 ROMA!

Motogiro d'Italia 2008 - Rome to Vieste and back. This year we started in Rome, one glance at the schedule could tell you the new team organizing the event this year was taking the compitition seriously - raising it to another level if you will. Nine hour days of mountain riding would have done just that but for the first time in eight years, we had days of bad weather. The result was the toughest Motogiro d'Italia yet. Thanks to Christian Clarke and Lorainne Bockmier for their fine photos.

Riders dawdled at the last stop. No hurry to be done, we wait all year for this and I am always sad during the last leg, patting the tank of Vicki 5 and thanking her for another year of great service
