Bob on BAC Trans Alps 2008

Please visit August 26 slideshow

This was our last rest day. After eating from a huge breakfast buffet, I decided to laze around town. I caught up on internet stuff, cleaned my bike, walked up the pedestrian mall, had pizza and beer for lunch (good, crispy pizza with capers, anchovies and olives) and beer, and read. Jeff went for the optional ride and reported that it was difficult but had great views. It was also part of this year's Giro d' Italia. There was writing up and down the road surface with riders' names. He ran onto a herd of cows, had a few difficult ascents along with their screaming descents, took a run on the bobsled course and arrived back at the hotel at about 3:00.

We walked around town before Happy Hour and had an excellent buffet dinner at the hotel after Happy Hour. We were priviledged to celebrate Alison's birthday.
