    I keep looking at the glass of wine and it looks like a horse's head through it. Or is it just me

    The first 70 miles were fairly uneventful today, as I was traversing the Piemontese plains. Lots of corn- and rice (risotto) fields. The middle bit was a bit more interesting, little hills and narrow roads.

    The last leg was spectacular though. To get into France I had to climb the Col de Lombarde. Very steep, and predominantly single track.

    Not for the fainthearted or vertiginous!
    Thoroughly enjoyable though, the summit was reached at 2.350 metres (7.388 feet)

    200 miles travelled today.

    Wow, absolutely stunning photos, Vulpes, and an amazing and TWISTY route! Yes, those chickens will definitely have to do without their strips. Lovely view from your dinner table, I must say. As I said, you certainly know how to do a motorcycle trip! I'm enjoying the heck out of your thread. :heart_eyes:
