My dentist did such a good job extracting my wisdom tooth that I was back on the bike today. A day earlier than recommended, just don’t tell him. Stitches out on Thursday.

A windy, solo 116km around the ICC Italian Job course.

As I walked into Filippetto’s I was greeted with “Ciao, come stai? Un doppio macchiato?”. Now that’s what I call service. They know exactly how I take my coffee.
