Live from Dobbiaco (12 C degrees right now here!)
I am really tired but really full of amazing km today. Too tired to make a decent post but too happy not to share it.
Last night was a very pleasant one at Pesaro thanks to Steve and Michele. We had cool drinks and local recipies during a nice sunset by the sea:
The whole scenery was good enough to keep as happy though we had to leave the place due to an unbelievable attack of thirsty mosquitos :)
Today's riding had it all. From cool bikers (20 in total) to cool km (600+ in total).
We all met up at the beautiful square of Marrostica:
Very beautiful and interesting place as so many people were killed there during the 1st world war. Well, now in 2011 people can have a much better time there like we did:
Next beauty to stop at was here:
This pass is one of the most impressive I've visited and lies at 2250 meters. Pretty cold up the (9 C degrees) but who cares when there's an amazing route to get there and a unique view from the top:
It is time to rest now, stay tuned for more updates. Lots of videos to be posted later as well...

Live from Pesaro...
Right now I am taking advantage of an open wifi outside Steve's house at Pesaro. (Thanks a lot for your hospitality man)
The neighboorhood looks nice and with some wifi till Steve comes and meet me looks even better.
Here's my bike parked here:
Looks a bit dirty and sad? This is the reason why:
It was raining dogs and cats as soon as I arrived at Ancona. Fortunately I am almost dry again.
The rest of the trip was under AMAZING weather conditions which offered me a great sunrise view from the ferry:
TO BE CONTINUED!

I'm gone...Φεύγω...
After a few political posts in Greek, it's time to inform you that I'll be leaving behind for a while my sweetheart called Hellas for the beauty of a tour around Italy - Austria - Slovenia.
The obvious reason why this tour will be a beauty is the above route itself. The other reason is (unkown to you therefore not so obvious) the fact that I will be riding with another 15 riders - members of the great PmB (Pochi ma Buoni) Italian Yahoo group established by my good friend Antonello some 10 years ago. I am the only member residing outside Italy and this is gonna be the great 10th Anniversary of this great group.If you are not yet convinced how great it is check out the logo:
I will try to update my location on the map as often as possible so you can track me while I'll be moving from place to place. After the above tour I'll try to do the Assiette as well as the Col de Sommelier (up at 3000+ meters) but no fixed plans about these rides around the Italian - French border.
I'll try to post and share stuff with you as often as possible.
Stay well and happy!
LAST UPDATE: After being postponed due to bad weather I leave on 29/6 to attend the meeting that will finnaly start on 1/7. I'll try to post as often as possible and will update my location even more often.
