Trip to the Italian Alps

Some photos from my 2 1/2 week trip down to the Sudtirol / Alto Adige. Would have been longer but i have had some dreadful weather at times (also 32 degrees in Trieste and swimming in the Adriatic).

I have done just under 3000 miles and the XJ6 was fantastic.

Anyway actually took some photos this time (gave me chance to do a few of the passes twice - once for the ride, once for the record!)

Quite a few days i didn't use the bike (walking, cable cars, trams etc), at least 2 days i did 1000Kms in 6-8 hours. So i did do some intense riding. Next time i go i'm gonna see if i can do Gamisch-Partenkirchen (D-A border) from bristol in a day (maybe 1200kms).

Those photos are amazing.

What a lovely backdrop to ride a bike through.
