The weather in Germany has been completely rubbish. Rubbish rubbish rubbish. To avoid the rubbish Frauke and I are back in Italy again where they have real weather. We left at 3 am this morning and drove through the torrential rain back to the Gardasee (Lago di Garda).

We went for a ride north-west from Riva into the mountains. A 1000 m climb followed by a fun down hill track. Frauke was feeling speedy and left me in her dust as she hurtled down the hill. Following the trail we had a very steep paved section. By the time we stopped our brakes smelled like they’d been cooked.
