Trial run in the South Tyrol

With one week to go before I hit the road again, I made the most of a 4-day weekend and loaded up the bike for a short (225km) tour through the South Tyrol.

With 2 passes over 2000m to get over it was a good warm up and my leg muscles didn't fail to remind me of this at the end of each day.

Broke my chain on the second day which provided a bit of a distraction and a reminder that the bike is in need of some serious love and attention.
