Even more so when I discovered your postings on the Giro D'Italia. I have cycled a lot in Italy (in L'Marchia, Tuscany, Apuglia and Sicily). Your countryfolk are so welcoming and your drivers are very polite to cyclist. Much, much better than English drivers! This year I hope to ride from where my father was born in Shropshire England, to where my mother was born in Rieti(Near Roma). Perhaps my poor Italian conversation skills will improve along the way. Warmest regards, John Serena,

In my younger days I was one. I have been contemplating of cycling again. Now that I live in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, it will be a challenge just to cycle on the hilly neighborhood streets. Once I get my strength back, my next goal is to cycle throughout the Pennsylvania mountains. After that, the Rockies. Who knows, I just may end up cycling somewhere in Italy someday.
