DJR Posted September 9, 2011 Share That picture of the "Stairway to Heaven" is something that excite and scare me at the same time. I would love to climb that with an I-Pod (I know one shouldn't) playing the meanest rock all the way to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bontie Posted September 18, 2011 Share It was truly a most enjoyable weekend. Anyone who owns a roadbike should really try and spend time in the Dolomites at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
