Pedalling to wear off the beer!

What a week!
Whilst we do work hard sampling and selling our wonderful beers, we also work hard trying to keep fit and pedal off the beers! So it was for this reason that Johnny and I also run the occasional experienceit cycling tour. When we dreamed up this idea of "serious cycling for serious foodies" we had a "type" of client in mind. One that was keen to ride, really push themselves to their physical limits but also be ready to laugh and enjoy the great out of saddle experiences we had planned. We were so lucky with our recent experienceit ride week to have 6 awesome clients that made our week truly amazing. From the huge climbs of the Coll dell'Agnello to those tough champions climbs every one of our riders made us incredibly proud of their effort and tenacity. For us it was a great pleasure to welcome them into our lives for them to experience the great countryside and the riding it offers but also the truly unique "out of saddle experiences" Whether it was a few beers with Maurizio in his Scarampola microbrewery in the ancient monastery, a 5 star post ride picnic in the grounds of an old santuario, a wonderful lunch at Bossotti winery looking over the hills of the Langhe eating home cooked meal prepared by Giovanna and Vincenzo, watching the Italian soccer team get to the UEFA final surrounded by mad Italian fans, the various 10 course dinners, a ride to the sea to take a dip in the Med, the odd Aperol spritz in medieval surrounds or the great hearty mountain fare served up after tackling the colle they partied as hard as they rode in true Italian style!
