I enjoyed that! I was going to stay in and nurse my hangover today but I think I`ll take the GS out to the Ace for a brew now.

Enjoyed that
Gets going about 10 minutes in, those trails looked good fun, if a little busy. Where is it?

The Stella Alpina rally is held the second Sunday in july - It has been for about 30 year - someone will probably give you a link or google it
Its Home town is Bardonechia N of Torino = Turin.

Loads of trails around that area most are doable on big bikes -

The B.T.B.C. run a trip there every year staying at the smellier hotel ( Hotel Somellier ) downtown Bardo
Really is a must do, well guided tour - my entrance to european travel on bikes

If you have mapsorse ( garmin ) you can follow the trail 20km to the top (ish)
near the french border, its about 3000m ASL 10000 ft Starting from Bardonechia it passes through the village rochmoulles on and up
Last year I did Somellier in the morning then rode the passes to the Bonnette
probable the highest trail 1150GSable to the highest tarmac road in europe
A big day but unforgetable
