Excellent photo. A true expression of a night on the p155. As an aside I used to deliver a van load of baps to one Restaurant every 2 days during the Rose of Tralee. Something like 145 dozen baps if memory serves.
Then you won't want me to tell you that (at least here on the French/Swiss border) its been raining felines and canines for the past week - currently 11C.It'll be even shitter if the weather's bad
I'm crossing everything I've got a pair of
I looked at the webcam at the stelvio yesterday and the road was covered in fresh snow and foggy.
This will all change of course, forecast suggests an improvement next week.

Click the fwd arrow.
Does blue mean nice ambient temperatures, lavender scented air, local women smiling & waving as we ride past, low fuel costs, traffic free roads or is it just rain on our entire route from Calais to Rome?
I don't care!
Just be prepared for a bit of wet weather & treat it like the holiday we've all been waiting for!
If the weather's bad we can just re-route to 'fastest route' & get leathered at the campsites.
You can check the MSN site for Italy's 10 day forecast here:

I'm sure that when we have crossed the alps it will be sunny and warm, but we always knew that if we were going to get it, it would be Calais to Nancy - so no surprises there then!
Still, think positive, you could be at work instead of riding your bike on an adventure through Europe

Paul,
Interesting forecast, but wrong continent - that's Italy, texas, USA
Which ferry did you book?

If anyone's interested we pass Rossi's home town, Tavullia, on our way to Rimini.
If the weather's OK I may pop in for a photo by the town's signpost if anyone wants to join me. It's a 40 minute diversion on our route to the Rimini campsite or it's an hours ride (each way) from the campsite.
Try this...
Friday, Dover
Saturday, Nancy
Sunday, Como
Monday, Pisa
Tuesday, Rome
It's only a forecast though.
This morning Nancy was forecast rain, now it's forecast sun.
Do your worst, here we come!
All ready to hit italy in less than 6 days!!!
