We are looking at doing a guided private group through InGamba. Have heard nothing but good things about them from other cyclists/travelers.

ChrisF - I have heard good things about InGamba as well but have not ridden with them. I have ridden with La Fugawho was great -- might not be as high end as InGamba though.

Tasman - awesome rides! That area is just heaven for cyclists with Alp, Glandon, Galibier, etc!

Hi Guys,

I'm the one organizing the InGamba trip. Feel free to shoot me a PM with your email and I can add you to our email list.

Plan is for June 23 - 29th of 2019. Should be a blast. Get those climbing legs ready!

More like trying to stay ahead of the broom wagon. LOL

^ Eat and drive good enough for me. Used to enjoy washing the cars. Not any more. Now clear bra on front, quartz all around, 1x-2x/yr full pro detail, and touchless automatic carwash after every few drives. Works like a charm, cars look pristine and much less swirl marks. Still have a garage corner full of towels and cleaning liquids that I haven’t touched in years.

riding downhill, heard loud noise, then almost lost bike. INSTANT rear deflation to zero PSI. stopped to fix. The tire was cut by BLUNT object. Not sure how it can penetrate the tires (pic to follow). So tire was cut, I put some paper b/n tube and tire then proceed to pump up. I didn’t check to make sure tube was fully seated.. so POP it blew… I only have one tube and no cell signal. So no uber. Walked 10 min downhill on cleats. Samaritan stoped give me his tube.. he left. Well ****. The value is too short. I can barely get air into it. Well I got it to around 40psi (guessing) and headed home, downhill. 15 min later, I almost lose bike again. Fully deflated.. but I have signal now. so uber home hahaha.

Glad you are safe Mooty! Sudden pressure loss on descents is not fun...at least it was the rear tire.
