After meeting Anni at our hotel in Venice the night before we set of for Arabba in our hire car – a Fiat Panda.
Once we left the main road the winding roads to Arabba were littered with cyclists making our trip longer than it should have been. The sight of all those lycra clad bums has put us off cyclists for some time (sorry Erin, we weren’t talking about your bum, we were referring to the cyclists!). Turns out we had chosen the 100th anniversary of the opening of the road to Cortina to attempt to get to Arabba. Just to add insult to injury the finish (and start) of the race was Arabba! And to add further insult to injury the finish line was right in front of our hotel so we couldn’t get the car into the carpark!

Turns out that the event was not just celebrated with a bicycle race. There were a number of motorcyclists (check out the boots!) and lots of old cars.

We eventually managed to get the car into the carpark. The owner of the hotel was correct when he said that the “manifestation” would be finished within 2 hours.
