After three weeks in Spain we flew into Milan to visit a new sponsor of mine since the beginning of the year, 3T. Their World HQ's is located just outside the city of Bergamo on the outskirts of Milan. Rene and the team showed us around and explained some of the new products 3T will be launching in the near future. The new Ventus 2 aerobar is awesome!
Hey looky here ... there's our mate Charlotte Paul from Australia!
From Bergamo we drove one hour north to a region I have always wanted to visit, Lake Como. We drove in via Lecco and stopped for the afternoon in Bellagio and never left. We found ourself a nice little hotel on the lake and enjoyed watching the semi final of the soccer world cup.
It would be a crime for us to come here and not ride our bikes so in the morning Amanda and I jumped on the trusty Scott bikes and rode along the lake and up one of the most famous climbs in all of Europe to the Madonna Ghisallo (above Bellagio) Wow ... anyone that loves their cycling, this is an absolute MUST DO! The pictures below explain it all.
After our ride we had a quick swim in the lake and headed north for Fribourg, Switzerland where we would be visiting my bike sponsor, Scott.
