Slo, DG is out doing the recon. He took the car up to Passo Lanciano and was surprised how steep it is....
I sent him a text message that the Bora has been recently clocked blowing at a record 173kph. What's a Bora?

The Bora, named after Bureas, the God of the North Winds, has been described in writings expressing admiration or fear of its fury and strength. It is a strong, cold and dry north-easterly wind that is sometimes called impetuous, capricious, and superficial because it blows at intervals and with sudden gusts. But, reaching up to 120 km/hr in volocity, it is can be very dangerous for automobile and boat travel.

Good thing it says nothing about bikes.
Cold winds fall off the mountains in ex Yugoslavia and power across to Italy usualy driving snow and rain. Even in the south the wind made for some challenging riding today over lunch.
