L'Eroica success!

On Sunday I was able to successfully complete the 205 km L'Eroica route on my 1974 Legnano Gran Premio. What a crazy ride!!! Here is a link to my Picasa album which is a work in process. We are in Italy for another week so some arranging will have to wait until I get home! I cant seem to get things to work from my tablet. I may try again later. Ciao!
