  1. We'll be in northwestern Italy the first week of July to do some road cycling. Would anyone be able
    to share cue sheets for the Lombardy, Piemonte, alpine and/or lake regions? We're interested in
    50-80 mile rides in those areas.

    Thanks!

  2. Here's a tour company that goes to those regions.

    You might peruse the descriptions of various stages of the rides described in the Trento Bike pages:

    tinyurl.comadls

    You might put a couple of destinations high on your list:

    Stelvio, Gavia, and Bernina Passes, as well as any part of the Dolomites heading to Cortina
    d'Ampezzo.

  5. Hi James There's a tour of 'some of' the Dolomites and over into Austria written up here...
    a-nelson.dircon.co.ukindex.htm which might be useful. There's a route map there
    for each days cycling we
    did.Cheeers... Allan.

  6. i have ridden in piemonte a number of times, and will return there in two weeks for another trip.
    don't worry about cue sheets. either pick up a touring club italiano (TCI) map of the region,
    1:200,000, or in any of the towns look for maps that are 1:100,000. unlike france where there are
    good centralized sources for IGN maps, in italy things are less organized. given that, there are a
    good set of maps for the piemonte area that are 1:100,000 and will let you pick out routes.

    buon viaggio,

    peter
