Greetings Ciclismo Friends Far and Wide

La Lorena and the Ciclismo family of guidesWhile Ciclismo Classico was born out of my passion for Italy and cycling, it was my years of experience as a bike tour guide for students and teenagers around New England and Europe that convinced me that outdoor leadership was not just a passing fancy, it would be my life's work. I am proud to know that this life mission, this passion for leadership, is what I share with my charismatic and talented guide team. My greatest source of pride at Ciclismo is the strong and expanding guide family that evolved over the past 20 years. In reading our client evaluations, talking with our Ciclismo guests and of course reading guide's post-tour tales, I am continually inspired to learn of the myriad ways that our guides share their knowledge and passion for travel and cycling.

Even in these tough times, our multi-talented Ciclismo Classico guides are a great reason for you to consider traveling with us this year. They will inspire, teach and help you celebrate the most important things in life: your health, your family and friendships and the amazing world we live in. I strongly believe that times like these require us to simplify and focus our resources on what we love. Our guides embody and live the passion that we all seek in our daily lives and work. Their never ending spirits, enthusiasm and "Gioia di vivere" (love of life) is just the right medicine and inspiration we need for the challenges many of us face.

As we launch our 2009 season with our Bike Across Itay tour, I think about how our guides constantly go above and beyond the call of duty; how they will give every guest the experience of a lifetime, how incredibly hard they work and how deeply they care.  I am honored to have them running our tours, they are simply the pride and joy of Ciclismo Classico. In this special edition of The Pasta Times we invite you to read our interviews with Simone, Gabe, Allessandro, Federica and Andrea and invite you to link to them via Facebook where you can follow their daily escapades.

Please also become a fan of our Ciclismo Facebook page where you will enjoy more delightful pictures of this handsome and charismatic crew. On behalf of our USA team and all our loyal Ciclismo guests we wish our guides a wonderful and exciting 2009 season.

Baci ed abracci a tutti voi!

Alessandro "Ale" Allegro
Q: What is your favorite part about leading tours in your backyard?
A: Meeting new guests and getting to spend time learning about them.  It's even better when we stay in touch after.  I love working with people and my fellow guides.  But it's the main aspect of our tours that I love most - riding the bike and eating well!

Q: What advice do you have for someone who's never done a bike tour?
A: Come and experience the sensation of traveling by bike! Enjoy it and don't work too hard.

Q: What benefits are there to bike travel versus regular travel?
A: It's a slower form of travel.  People don't really appreciate what they have around you.  Bike traveling allows you to smell the flowers, listen to the nature's soundtrack, and cover long distances with the power of your legs.  It's simple mechanics!

Q: What do you enjoy most about cycling in Italy?
A: I love many aspects, but mostly the roads and the scenery overall.  I also have a very keen taste for gelato and coffee.

Q: What do you do during the off-season?
A: During the off-season, I help a tour operator which specializes in vacations for schools.  I recently got back from leading 68 kids through some trekking in Germany's Black Forest.

Q: Tell me one thing that people are surprised to discover about you.
A: People are surpised to find out I was an electrician before becoming a guide.  I heard about Ciclismo Classico through an article when I was 18, back in 1991.  I still have that article in a journal!  It's always been my dream job, so many years later I moved to London to learn English and now here I am!

Q: What things have you done on tour to make a guest's experience extra-special?
A: Teaching them how to ride a bike for 6 hours straight properly.  People write back saying they have no more aches and pains when riding at home.  Just to have someone improve themselves is a very rewarding feeling.

Q: What's the hardest part of your job?
A: Being away from my 6 year old daughter.

Q: What are your favorite towns/stops on tour? Why?
A: The towns of Spoleto, Bolzano, and Scanno.  Every time we stop there it's like a world of the past.  We have taken a time machine to the Italy of old!

Q: What is your favorite memory on tour?
A: My favorite memories are those in which I'm laughing with my new friends!

Simone Scalas

Q: What is your favorite part about leading tours in your backyard?
A: Definitely it's related to the deep knowledge I have of my culture, so I can talk about almost everything: economy, history, and so on. Also, in every single corner of the island I always meet somebody I know, Cristiano loves to joke about this, pretending I've got relatives in every village of Sardinia!

Q: What advice do you have for someone who's never done a bike tour?
A: Go for it! It's not about challenge - your body can face it and will enjoy the training. The difficult part is choosing what to eat at restaurants every evening!

Q: What benefits are there to bike travel versus regular travel?
A: I will quote a beautiful sentence of Gibram: the turtle knows much more about the trip than the earl (rabbit).  I would also add that while cycling, we can feel the scents of the surrounding landscape.

Q: What do you enjoy most about cycling in Italy?
A: The fact that we are not just cycling but also diving into culture and history, even in the most remote countryside there's always something that tells you about the past.  It's a trip inside the landscape.

Q: What do you do during the off-season?
A: I work as an outdoor tourism consultant for my region (Sardegna), and also for private resorts.

Q: Tell me one thing that people are surprised to discover about you.
A: I come from a line of ancient Sardegnians - very very ancient!  Also, last year, some guests were very surprised I was listening to Jazz.  I guess I don't have the "jazz listener" look!

Q: What things have you done on tour to make a guest's experience extra-special?
A: Technically, it wasn't me, but my mother!  At the end of a tour me and Massimo invited everybody to have lunch at my mamma's place. Something like 12-15 guests came and enjoyed a delicious Sardegnian lunch!

Q: What's the hardest part of your job?
A: In one week or ten days you develop quite a strong relationship with guests, and it's always hard to say good bye.

Q: What are your favorite towns/stops on tour? Why?
In Sardegna I would say Orgosolo. It's a fascinating place - a small village in the mountains, but at the heart of Sardegna.  Then the Su Gologone Hotel in Oliena, very closed to Orgosolo - definetely the most beautiful hotel in Sardinia.

Q: What is your favorite memory on tour?
A: The times I get to spend with my friends and fellow guides!

With Gabriele "Gabe" del Rossi


Gabriele "Gabe" del Rossi

Q: What is your favorite part about leading tours in your backyard?
A: I know my backyard, its rocks, and birds better than my neighbor does. Its like having house guest for a week - you get to show them how much fun they can have at your place.

Q: What advice do you have for someone who's never done a bike tour?
A: Don't buy all the equipment that those who have done tours tell you to buy. Just bring a raincoat, sunscreen and good humor.  Oh, and be prepared for the unexpected!

Q: What benefits are there to bike travel versus regular travel?
A: You can go at your own pace. You won't be shipped around and carted in a herd, but you are encouraged to have your own adventure (that could be getting lost, meeting a local or dancing on the table).

Q: What do you enjoy most about cycling in Italy?
A: The roads, the people, the views - the question answers itself!

Q: What do you do during the off-season?
A: I work in various ski-resorts as Ski Patrol or as an Events Manager for large corporations. I also work on my photography and video projects.

Q: Tell me one thing that people are surprised to discover about you.
A: One of the languages I speak is pigeon. Hard to believe but I once won a fierce battle over a piece of segale in the Bormio town square with an adversary who was - well - rather fowl.

Q: What things have you done on tour to make a guest's experience extra-special?
A: The best part about making people's experiences extra special is that you just do your job. Watermelon slices at the top of a hot climb, snails at a french bistrot, or special Campagnole cookies for a van snack take very little effort.

Q: What's the hardest part of your job?
A: The end. Its funny how strongly you can bond with North Americans in just 7-10 days.

Q: What are your favorite towns/stops on tour? Why?
A: Those with a water fountain in them - no explanation necessary!

Q: What is your favorite memory on tour?
A: The time I accidentally drove the van into a ditch and I needed a team of Telecom Italia workers to haul me out. It was the best part of our picnic!

With Federica Luppi

Federica Luppi
Q: What is your favorite part about leading tours in your backyard?
A: Unfortunately I have never lead tours in my backyard. I have a goal to create one new tour in my region for Ciclismo Classico!

Q: What advice do you have for someone who's never done a bike tour?
A: I would suggest to train before leaving for the tour in order to enjoy biking and leisure activities related. Being tired is not a good point to start from!

Q: What benefits are there to bike travel versus regular travel?
A: Bike travel keeps you in shape and the group is an opportunity to make new acquaintances with the same interests.

Q: What do you enjoy most about cycling in Italy?
A: Usually the weather, back roads with little traffic, the scenery and the meetings with local people. It's my home country so I can find out 'secrets' along the way to show my guests!

Q: What do you do during the off-season?
A: I teach English in a pre-school, I work in a bakeryand also a bar. I also do translations. Last winter I attended spinning courses with the goal of becoming a spinning teacher next year.

Q: Tell me one thing that people are surprised to discover about you.
A: Despite my apparent quietness, I'm a volcano and people are really surprised when they know me better!

Q: What things have you done on tour to make a guest's experience extra-special?
A: My co-guide Paolo and I personally brought breakfast and a little present to one of our guests on her birthday directly to her room in the morning. She still remembers this with happy feelings!

Q: What's the hardest part of your job?
A: Saying goodbye to everyone at the end of the tour, of course!

Q: What are your favorite towns/stops on tour? Why?
A: All the little towns (especially in the countryside) because there you can get the real Italian flavor!

Q: What is your favorite memory on tour?
A: A wine tasting night followed by dinner in Santa Maria di Castellabbate (Amalfi Stroll and Roll) at the hotel with ALL the guests telling jokes, laughing, and dancing until late at night.

With Andrea Marchesini

Andrea Marchesini
Q: What is your favorite part about leading tours in your backyard?
A: All of it! Getting organized and ready, preparing all the goodies at our base in Tuscany with my teammates. Then making it to the start and getting the group on the road. Early mornings, chilly starts, hot and sweaty lunches and mid morning rides, looking around for lost souls, stopping for sites, views, cultural highlights. Then dinners, friends along the itinerary. One of the  most cherished things in fact is getting to know people and workers along  the way, seeing them again, becoming good friends, growing together through the years. Just GREAT!

Q: What advice do you have for someone who's never done a bike tour?
A: Get in decent shape and open up your mind.  Don't worry about logistics (we're there for you!), and be prepared for unpredictable fun and moments!

Q: What benefits are there to bike travel versus regular travel?
A: Air!!! Fresh air, people, backyards, animals, characters, local habits and funny behaviors. A whole list of direct experiences you don't quite live the same way on a different vehicle.

Q: What do you enjoy most about cycling in Italy?
A: Italians! The people again. The way everybody enjoys life, the un-glamorous way of matching the challanges of life, the simplicity and the still (in some ways) anti-global way of life.
 
Q: What do you do during the off-season?
A: Wake up early, get breakfast ready for Noemi (12) who has to go to school, spend as much time as possible with Francesca, working around her nursing schedule, and then.. turn on my laptop, start  working on my music connections and organizing gigs! This winter for instance has been a very busy one, re-organizing my line-ups (cover band, lounge Tux-jazz, Latin/originals quartet; and more!) for local concerts and clubs (but also a hopefully up-and-coming new India tour at the beginning of 2009!!), and then.. Bici!! Bicicletta da corsa a couple of hours every other day. Steady but not too tough training which brought me back to the light-weight I carried 18 years ago (!!) in order to make it with not too  bad results through mountainbike & road amateur races. Yess!! With this all done, I also take time to finish my own house on the hills of Alassio, going through light remodeling, maintanence, work in the fields, and so on.  A relaxing winter in other words!!

Q: Tell me one thing that people are surprised to discover about you.
A: When some friends connect to the internet and check my site (www.andreamarchesini.com <http://www.andreamarchesini.com> ) to listen to my CD or check out some videos, well, the ones that are music-sensitive are positively surprised by my... notes!

Q: What things have you done on tour to make a guest's experience extra-special?
A: I love having tons of fun at dinner, in many different forms. Not just cheap laughs, but deep and quick cultural exchange through wine, food, places, countries. And then maybe the fact that I always try to find a good moment to gather the group for a deep look at the world of cycling, both in the performance and the mechanic fields.

Q: What's the hardest part of your job?
A: Getting it all done without looking hurried!!!

Q: What are your favorite towns/stops on tour? Why?
A: My favorite town still remains Ferrara, along the Venice to Bologna itinerary, beautiful medieval city with  a great layout, lots of young people and action, and a very easy to  understand city-plan.

Q: What is your favorite memory on tour?
A: Too many to mention!! Really!! I clearly remember a wild dinner with  wooden forks and spoons at a fortress in Castrocaro, with guests going nuts with their jokes! I'm still working on posting all the good stories on my Facebook.

A Day in the Life of a Ciclismo Guide
As told by Cristiano Bonino


7am:
Rise and shine!  Time to get up and start packing.

7:30am: Go downstairs for breakfast.  I personally like to take my time when eating.  It's much more relaxing to just enjoy the meal and prepare the body for the day's work ahead.

8:30am: Load the van with the guest's luggage in order for it to be taken ahead to the next hotel.

9am: Everybody meets in the lobby for a map review.  We'll go over the day's route, points of interest to look out for, and also mention any major turns so guests don't get lost.  Getting lost isn't as bad as it sounds - it's a wonderful opportunity to experience a country by yourself.  Guests who have gotten lost love to tell their experiences of interacting with the locals in order to get to their destination.

9:30am: Hitting the road to start our day's journey!  When riding together on the road, I like to share tips for the climbs, and reminding people to enjoy the landscape.  I make sure to spend some time with every guest no matter how fast or slow they are.  After all, the goal is to enjoy your vacation at your own pace!  It shouldn't be like riding in a race, but more like a rolling family.  The work is very rewarding, considering the energy spent while riding back and forth to talk with everybody (now you see why I need a long and relaxing breakfast!).

1pm: Stop for lunch - usually something light.  Often times, we'll stop in a historic city and take a tour of the town or a museum.  Sometimes we customize the group, too - if some enjoy the food and wine more than others, one group will stay to eat before leaving and the other will take off riding again.  We like to leave people free to do whatever they want!

2pm: Time to get back on the bikes and head to the next hotel.  The guides don't just bike on tour - they do many other things!  They fix tires when they're blown, of course, but they're also there for the guests.  A guest once revealed details of their personal life to me on tour and we bonded over it.  It really is incredible how a bike ride in the middle of nowhere can produce a life-changing experience!  Biking is amazing in this aspect.

3-5pm: Depending on the day, we usually arrive at the next hotel between these times.  Guests who choose to take the extra loop will of course arrive a little later.  There's some free time here to check in and relax.   Sometimes we have activities like a wine tasting, cooking demonstration, cultural tour, or Italian lesson.  We ask guests to join, but as always, it's completely optional.

6:30pm: Now for the best moments of the day: dinner!  The menus are carefully planned by guides in advance.  We aim to give the guests an overall taste of the cuisine offered in the region they are traveling and let them wash it down with some local wines.  Dinner is a special time where the guests get to mingle and learn about each other, share memories of the day's ride, and passing the capellino (a nice way to reward each other - join a tour and you'll see!).  After a brief description of the following day, it's time to head back to our rooms, get some sleep, and dream of the next day's journey!

Trekking the Himalayas
By Gian Luca Fogliato



This past February, I had the extreme pleasure of trekking in Nepal.  The trip started in Kathmandu, a crowded, colorful and noisy city with incredibile traffic and narrow streets.  In an effort to conserve energy, electricity is shut off at least 8 hours per day.  With no lights, you feel as though you should be carrying around a headlamp, but life seems to go on as normal.  

The first day was reserved for sightseeing.  We visited remarkable Buddhist Temples, which resembled those in Myanmar.  Next to these structures were Hindu temples, complete with cows and Sadus (Hindu priests) milling about - just like any city in India!

The adventure really began on day 2.  Our destination? Everest Base Camp, elevation  17,550ft.  In order to get to this region, I caught a 45-minute ride in a small plane.  The flight was stunning, flying over Himalayan peaks - literally holding my breath partially because of the spectacular mountain views, but moreso because I was not so much at ease in our tiny little plane.

We landed in the small mountain village of Lucka, elevation 9,100ft.   Not helping my nerves was the reputation of the airport, considered the most dangerous in the world due to the runway located at the edge of a cliff.  After landing safely, I felt comfortable knowing from here on out, it's all about your legs and trekking boots!

The biggest obstacle now was acclimating to the extreme elevations.  The goal is to climb slowly enough (1,600 to 2,000 feet per day) to allow the body to get used to the rising height without getting sick.

Since it was off-season, the tourist crowds were little.  Durino the day the weather was spectacular: clear blue skies, jagged snow-covered mountain peaks 22,000 to 26,000 feet high looking down at you.  At night it got pretty chilly with temperatures ranging from 0-14 degrees fahrenheit (hence why so few tourists).

The entire trekking area is part of Everest National Park, so it's very well maintained  and organized - visitors are required to sign in and out.  The trails  are in perfect condition and, if needed, medical assistance is available.  The great part about trekking in Everest National Park is that it's not technically dificult.  You can easily trek without any mountaineering experience or skill - just be fit and ready to enjoy the beauty of the Himalayan Mountains where it's only you, nature, and the occasional yak or Nepalese porter.

There are lots of little lodges and places to stop and eat, from local garlic soups to chinese dishes - even pizza is on the menu!  The most interesting thing you can do at break time is to talk with the local people.  Some speak english and it's a great chance to learn more about their culture and traditions.
There're a lot of little lodges and places to stop and eat something, from local garlic soups to chinese dishes, even pizza is on their menus!

One of the more interesting things you can do during breaks is to talk with the locals.  Some of them speak english and it's a great chance to get in touch with their culture and traditions!  A conversation I had with an old man regarding his North Face shoes and the differences in cost of goods sold in the USA versus Nepal (which was much cheaper) - all while drinking tea and warming up in front of the stove in his little house!

All Himalayan houses have a stove, but at this elevation, there's no wood for heating.  In exchange, they burn dried yak excrements, which may sound a bit unsettling, but trust me - it works as fuel and couldn't be any more ecological!

After the first couple days of the trek, we lost connection with the rest of the world: no cell phone, no internet, and no electricity (but plenty of time for meditation).  If there's something you want to discover about yourself, just go trekking in Nepal!  Also noticeably absent was the heat, amplified by the fact my sleeping bag was not thick enough to keep me comfortably warm.  Also noted; never leave the water bottle beside the bed or else i twill freeze!

The days far made up for the cold nights - the sun is strong and warm.  Trekking starts early morning.  The higher you climb, the more spectacular the landscape and panoramic views are.  Simply breathtaking!  There's so much to explore, admire and enjoy that you feel as if you're on top of the world - literally and figureatively!

Around 2-3pm is when the day ends, just as the sun is setting.  It usually gets cloudy, windy, and incredibly cold so the action takes place in the lodge where people gather around the warm stove awaiting dinner.  This is the time for exchanging impressed with the other travelers, most of whom are incredbily people and experience travelers.  The stories they share are so interesting, it makes you forget about how cold you are, the last time you showered, and how smelly your clothes are.

Three times we trekked above 18,000ft where the air is really thin and hard to breath.  The oxygen rate is only 50%, but it's 100% worth it - especially with the views of Mount Everest just in front of you.  The beauty of the Himalayan landscape, the friendliness of the Nepalese people with their untouched culture and traditions, and the spectacular trekking overwhelms you with an incredibile feeling of joy.  It's good not only for your eyes, body and soul, but great for the legs to get you in shape for the beginning of the bike season!

Gian Luca Fogliato is a new guide with Ciclismo Classico and has led our Piedmont and Sud Tyrol tours.  He'll be back leading tours this fall!
