My house doesn't think you're so tough, and challenges you to meet it at
the Starbucks in Sausalito:

My house says it will wear its Rapha Hamsten commemorative jersey so you
can recognize it:

"The year 1988 was a truly monumental one for Andy Hampsten both
individually and for his native United States. During that year's Giro
d'Italia, he triumphantly conquered the epic stage over the snowy and
treacherous Passo di Gavia..."
I'm just quoting the article. Hey, has anyone fixed the Wikipedia yet?
The "Gavia Pass" entry has some sort of vandalism by Dutch fans on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavia_Pass
Claims "Breukink" (obviously a made-up name) won the stage in 1988.
