OK, I REALLY don't mean for this to be all about bike races, it's just that we've had guests for the past week and there hasn't been much time to keep up. It also just so happens that we're going to go to another major race tomorrow -- partly because our friends want to shoot over to Italy, and party because I'd like to see the finish of the Milan-Sanremo race. (Actually, what I did was convince Kerri and our friends that Sanremo is a nice little Italian city and we should go visit. Then, when we get there I'll just pretend that it's an extra, previously unknown bonus that one of the biggest races of the year happens to be ending there the same day. Shhhhhhh!)
Milan-San Remo is the longest one day race of the years --298 km this year -- and is the first of 5 monster single-day races known as La Classicissima. We'll head out early, spend the afternoon in Sanremo (just over an hour from us) then watch the sprinters battle it out for the title.
Oh...and enjoy the town, food, markets, shopping, blah blah blah.

You will love that race...but don't be so sure that it will be a battle of the sprinters. They have a new climb this year and the attackers will try to dispense of the sprinters before the Poggio.
