Let's Plan Our *Dream" 2016 Ride Calendar, Shall We?

[weisan]

2016 is already knocking on the door! In the spirit of helping one another ride more and enjoy our sports to the fullest, let's take out the calendar and collectively, as a paceline community, plan the WHOLE year of cycling events or destinations. Call it the "Dream" calendar....meaning, if money, time, and other earthly constraints are no object, what events or cycling destinations are on your "bucket" or "must-do" list? Please insert your fav. cycling event in their respective months, include at least their location, exact date if you have it and if at all possible a web link to their webpage (see below for example). As far as cycling destinations go, pick the "best time of the year" to visit. Try and keep it simple and yes, we all have our personal opinions as to what qualifies to get on the list, and that's what makes this world great (diversity), but please try to keep it "exclusive and really special" (to you). We want QUALITY not QUANTITY. :D Remember, this is a DREAM calendar!

I have a feeling this year will be slow(er), much.

For me it's no longer about the when, where or even the who.

Riding is like a good . The worst I had was pretty damn good!

[Tim Porter]

Okay, I'll play. Giro d'Italia Stage 9, Individual Time Trial departs from Radda in Chianti, Tuscany, on Sunday, May 15. Arrive approx. 1 week before and ride the roads and game out the strategy for watching the stage from several vantage points. Stay at Badia a Coltibuono about 5 miles from Radda.

I have this exact trip already planned, reservations made. :banana:

[NB. Coltibuono is due east of Radda just off the edge of the map.]
