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.

Next year? Bologna to the Italian Riviera!!! See you there.

We start at the Cavalieri Hilton, one of the top 100 hotels in the world. One glance at this oil covered Motobi thrown up against the fountain at the entrance, just past the line of high dollar cars, bustling valets and expensively dressed patrons and it's clear this is going to be interesting
