Saturday 19th May
Set off on the last 750 meters climb with some trepidation, but looking back it was a great experience. Fantastic scenery and lovely weather. The only other cyclists that I saw in the Alps were "Tour de France" types, who whould pass by at what seemed an amazing speed. Some shouted "Bon Courage!" as they sped passed, which I'm not sure was an indication that I was completely mad or were words of encouragement. Anyway, I took it to mean the latter and in some small way it helped me on my way.
Celebrated, as soon as I crossed the Italian border with Panini and Biccheri Vino Rosso!
Made my way to Cuneo, where I found good campsite and enjoyed a couple of beers and meal in great little campsite bar.
