Day Seven (Finale - Saint Paul de Vence)
Our last riding day has arrived, and with home on our rider's heads, we take it calmly to thinnk of the experience of the week. We drive safe and enjoy the beautiful views before we enjoy one last dinner together.
All that is left to say is, thank you for having made it so enjoyable, and we look forward to riding with you guys again.
Very early after breakfast, Vladimir left us to go back home.
TG Pablo's tour bike all covered from the puddles the day before on the "road" up to the Genova view point
On our way to the first coffee stop
Our very kind waitres in Zucarello coffe stop. What an amazing coffee!
From here the road became ... interesting... untill lunch

From "la Tete de Chien" rock we can see on one side Monaco...
... and on the other, Nice! Alost home!
End of the tour back in Saint Paul de Vence and as you can see, that is some hard beating these tyres got, Aidan's Xplorer was worked very hard, good job!
Day Six (Rapallo - Finale)
A beautiful day arises after the storm we had. The roads are clean from the rain and dry from the beautiful sunny morning. We drive back into the mountains towards Genova and over mountain after mountain back down to the beach, about 4000 turns for the day!
Getting ready to leave, not a cloud in the sky...
Aidan's Xplorer is set
As we leave rapallo and take the little roads up towards Genova we come to a nice view of Rapallo from a distance
Tod and TG Pablotaking a quick selfie"
Guys getting ready to go up the "road" to the antenas to see the views
That's the road... puddles from the rain made it more interesting
On one side, the sea...
... and on the other, Genova
At the coffee stop there was an interesting plaque for the riders
TG Pablo enjoying the view
Group picture at the lunch stop. A very cool cabin up in a mountain.
Quick stop in this little forest as, with every live show, anything can happen, and this time, it was a battery problem. The TG fixed it and the show went on!
A beautiful church half way through a very tight single lane road, hard to find unless you are really looking off the beaten track. And only 10 miles fro Finale!
At dinner, we bid farewell to Vladimir, we hope you enjoyed it!
Day Five (Rapallo rest day)
Second rest day, and the day rises raining very heavily, luckily, it is our rest day, so it catches us in a two nighter in the same hotel. Some went for a ride, others took a train and others decided to take it as a bit of a chill day.
There's more than one way to spend a rest day!
The streets of te little towns of Cinque Terre
During the afternoon the skyes cleared a fair bit
Riomaggiore
Any time is good for a Rum and Raisins ce cream!
Portofino Port
Almost ready for dinner. Marinus and Louis.
These guys had TG Pablo running like a Gazele on their 1200GS and S1000Xr respectively!
Day Four (Vicoforte - Rapallo)
Another day starts in Paradise, and even though it was a really tough day due to a closed pass, everybody had a smile on their face waiting for the beautiful roads we had lined up for the day. A lot of single lanes with orchards and vineyards, that bring memories of Tuscany.
The sun graces our skin, warm and soft, as we eagerly prepare ourselves.
A quick group picture before we hit the road!
Look at that beautiful Multistrada in front of the Sanctuary
Overlooking the scenery
A coffe stop before lunch
Mark, Patrick and Ted. Three excellent riders and even better people.
A well deserved rest after a couple hundred turns!!
Day Three (Valberg - Vicoforte)
The day rises sunny and the fresh mountain air welcomes the riders to a new day. A long day ahead of us with the Col de Turini as one of the main highlights.
Even though we expected a bit of rain,we got very little so we were able to enjoy the whole day wearing sun glasses!
Within the first 10 minutes of leaving the hotel, we come across our first beautiful section, challenging enough to get a good warm up!
After coffe, and on our way to Col de Turini
Smile!
All these beautiful bikes on these beautiful roads
TG Michael and TG Pablo finding out the best way to get to our next stop. The pass was closed for works before we arrived!!
