I just did his tour (the one following the subject of the article), and it was fantastic. I strongly recommend Cinghiale (http://www.cinghiale.com/): everyone, even a few who didn't ride at all, had a good time.

I did a relatively easy tour, but I went hard on the hills, and did some extra on my own after the main rides, and I came out with some fairly good (for me) fitness.

This sounds like quite a distant and exotic training location. Did you
wear your team colours, or black kit?

If you know what I mean,

Expensive. And one week seems so short.

WHAT?! From the site:

the 20th anniversary of Andy's Gavia win."

You're going to have to surrender to the critical mass of the
Cheney-Rumsfeld doctrine (if you repeat something often enough it becomes
true/reality is malleable).

It is expensive for a bike vacation, it's true. You're obviously paying for more than just the hotel room and a route sheet....

When I went, we (I was there with my girlfriend) spent an extra week in Italy, on our own. Which was also great, and obviously a lot cheaper.

Nevertheless, the money spent on the Cinghiale week will not be regretted. Folks spend more fueling up their SUV's for the year (I don't have a car).

Let's just say I had access to a plentiful supply of some really effective stuff:

It isn't a paradox, it is definitional.

There is a difference between being "fit" and having the freakish
"super-fit-ness" needed to race bikes.

Dumbass,

If you think those retards invented that, ... well then, you're a
retard too.

Btw,

How are the breast inspections going? There are some very hot podium
girls these days.
