Me & the Mrs. have been off our bikes for almost two years.

So we came to L'Eroica early to stretch our legs.

Fortunately for us, Gaiole is located in some of the nicest riding territory I've ever seen. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2924180589/ And even more fortunately, wineries abound.

So we went on wine tasting tours, many of which involved riding on "white roads". http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925025784/

The L'Eroica ride is timed around grape harvest season, so the vineyards were ripe with grapes, and the weather was pleasant.

When we were tired of riding we snuck into the nearest vineyard for a refreshing snack ... or into a grocery for bread and cheese. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925025778/

Everyone else seemed to be doing much of the same, but for longer distances.

In the evening we met up with some CR members for dinner. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925025788/ Its a small world, turns out we had a few interesting "connections".
