Granfondo Hosts Fairytale Wedding |
 |
|
When imagining a dream wedding in Italy
you picture a nice villa, an ancient church,
and of course romance. Now picture a grand
castle fit for Cinderella from the 15th
century with lush green gardens, ivy covered
walls, and complete with towers and turrets.
This magnificent jewel surmounts a hill
overlooking a crystal blue lake. Combine
this picture with a cycling tour and what do
you get? An unmatchable fairytale wedding
made complete with bicycle wheel arches,
wedding livery of matching jerseys, and a
water bottle salute...

Unforeseen Triump (My Trip)
|
|
|
|
By Lynn Fernando (tour guest)
The choice to go to Italy for cycling was
undoubtedly an obvious one for my husband
and me. Who wouldn’t want to ride through
Tuscany’s rolling hills painted with
