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.

But regardless of miracles worked each evening, there is still plenty of work done on the road. I think my bike used 5 spark plugs this year, plus we changed it to total loss for the battery since there was some issue with it charging. It's all normal for an event of this type, you MUST carry tools. You WILL use them.
