Has anyone stayed/ridden with them? Interested in thoughts on the rides, as well as the accommodations etc.

Thanks!

I stayed at the Italian Cycling Center a few years ago when Bill Speckman, who founded YCI, was the ride leader. He is a super nice guy and very strong rider. I have not stayed with the YCI, but I sent a friend his way two years ago and heard good reports. The riding there is awesome and Bill knows the area and how to lead a group. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with him.

Trying to compare and contrast both places -- Bill's place is a bit more, but seems like they may have a bit more in the way of activities for non-cycling spouses, etc. Getting pretty psyched for a late May trip -- sent my CDA to Bilenky for couplers this week !

Surely there would be no Valpolicella or Bardolino on a cycling trip?

Ha! Bill was here at my place doing some plaster work for me a few weeks back. That's his "real job" back in the States for the "off" season. Heck of a guy, and he does fantastic work with plaster! (Had him skim coat the old horsehair walls in some rooms we've refurbished over the last few years.)

I hope to got over there for one of his trips someday.

My vote would have to go to Eros.

I mean really, how often can you meet and ride with a TDF stage winner?
