Giro d'Italia Time Trial Route
The route of the first time trial of this year's Giro ran along the coast of Ligure Sea. I had seen a few photos of the course on the various bike websites that I read, but then today, I found this photo of one of the town that was on the route. Thought that I would add this post to the collection of posts that could be called "wish I could ride in Italy." Towns and villages like this amaze me, I would assume that they would slowly fall into the sea (or quickly I guess if hit by an earthquake), but no, they cling to the end of the cliffs for centuries.

Can you believe I've been there? (It's hard for me to...)
That's where I met Annie and Jim for a weekend back in 2000, in one of the villages of the Cinque Terre. I don't think we stayed in that exact village, but we may have hiked there. It was amazing.
