In which we conquer the Alps, but are felled by a bug.
Yes, we biked through the Alps and lived to tell the tale. It was two hard days, but cool.
No pix from day 1 - bad weather and boring road, overnight in the no-horse town of Nucetto.
Pulling out of Nucetto, the mountains get a little more serious.
Gratuitous Alps shots
25 miles of climbing gets us to this alpine village and more snow
A picturesque ponte
Our descent to Albenga takes us on small twisty hillside roads - avoiding the quicker, tunnel-ridden route. 25 miles of downhill feels pretty good!
Intermission… Two hours after rolling into Albenga, we are both struck with some dread disease and lethargy. We blame the only restaurant in Nucetto, and spend about 20 of the next 24 hours sleeping. Also decide to stay in Albenga another night.
The Mediterranean - at the ready, but empty beach resorts set up for visitors.
An old town center with many towers…
And medieval alleys
Eric eats through the pain – coconut and strawberry. I hope we are recovered tomorrow…
