“No day off” Sonia has said

This morning I suggested Sonia for a day off in order to recover of the last two big stages. No way Sonia said. I felt a little weak of suggesting…

Today’s stage was supposed to be an easy one. There are no easy stage on the Transalp. There is a always a difficulty. If it is not the climbs, it is the km. Today it was the climbs. Not necessarily long ones but some steep. We did a few 16% (160 meters of elevation gain over 1 km).
We arrived in Arraba (another small ski village) around 5 pm. This place is not far from Cortina d’Ampezzo. This was the destination of one of a previous bike trip several year ago. This is where we first got the idea of doing a Transalp. At that time we met a few Germans that were doing it. We felt it was a good idea for a future vacation. It is now our second Transalp now…

We now have our rhythm. We completed the last three stages. It makes 5 stages in 6 days. If the weather was not as bad at the beginning we would probably been able to finish all our stages. Based on the profile of the 7th stages we will probably not complete it in one day.

We need some more support for Centraide/United Way for us to finish the Transalp. Please makes your contribution! Thank you very much for your help!
