Alps Tour

haven't run the math on it. But I have a particular BNB where a double occupancy room is 30 euros a night , including breakfast. Place is clean directly on the Paso Di Giovo (sp?) and basically right in the middle of you want to do stelvio or Dolomites. Www.bergsicht.it I’ve been going there for years. Well, up until 10 years ago when I moved here.

you’d have to research bike rentals and flights, add another 30-50 per day for food and drinks, but you can also get away with 20...

 

This is for sure on the bucket list...wander around Europe on a two wheel sabbatical.

 

italians going crazy:

my time frame is shaping up to be 4 weeks over there, basically the whole month of july, with the tour being at the later part of it.

 

Sounds good to me.
Summer in Germany...it'll be like 1945 all over again....

 

haha. i will protect you clowns. not from the germans, but from parts of the american-hating non-germans living there. by claiming you're canadian.

 

Shit. Everyone will think I'm German...Ill wear a speedo and be rude.

And go blasting around the Alps on a BMW wearing Lederhosen themed leathers.

and shit.

 

Don't forget to be riding a supermoto. Alps are stuffed with Germans on supermotos.

 

if you want to add a couple of passes and make it 100:

OK. Im not one to sterotype...well OK yes I am. But this map in Italian had me laughing. According to Italy every country in Europe ends in -a or -o, Polonia, Germania, Norvegia, Finlandia.

Itsa likea alla you havea to a do is adda a or o to the enda ofa everya worda anda you'rea speakinga Italiano.

 

This is AWESOME!!!!

 

Here’s one that ends in u.
Bafungu.

 

Taking that one step further. US born Eyetalians intentionally drop the trailing vowel (which by definition is its own syllable) off of every word.

 

frankly, knowing very little italiano, I always just spoke a mix of French and Englisch, but sounding Italian with them and it always got me where or what I wanted. Except tomato

 

They drop the first syllable off of that one

 

Gesundheit!

 

Bormio side of the stelvio got a little rockslide today

 

Damn. I wish it was closer. I could use some of that for my sub base in my pole barn....

 

So is this somewhat planned/happening?

 

I have to be at a wedding 7/10 but other than that I am free to show peeps around the next week or the one after.
since I have a bike on hand there, I am not so much on the organization /planning train. Once there’s a firm group ready to commit, I’d call the BnB in Tyrol and get the rooms reserved.

 

Delta just cancelled my Sep 18 flight to Milano
