The Debora Matthews Fellowship

Unfortunately it hasn’t been for Frankie. He got very dehydrated after yesterday’s ride and was ill in the night. We have been feeding him energy drinks all day hoping to get him fit enough to start tomorrows ride. This has quite a tough start with 2 of the Sella Ronda passes, but in the opposite direction to the way we rode them yesterday. Even only half fit Frankie would do these better than the rest of us, but we’ll have to hope he wakes up ready for them. After that it’s downhill all the way to Venice.
Mike, Jo and I just moseyed around a bit today. Went to look at Siusi – even more stunning scenery than Selva, which hardly seems possible. Then we picked up Mel from the station at Ponte Gardena. She is going to ride the last 3 days with us into Venice.
