Top Rides: The Tour Das Hugel
Friday, December 04, 2009  12:24:15 PM PT
  So, riding in Texas is mostly flat, with only tumbleweeds and armadillos to avoid right? Well, not exactly. You see, Austin is situated in what’s known as the Texas Hill Country. Once a year in November a group of crazy people, er, dedicated cyclists take on something that’s known as the Tour Das Hugel.

Sunday, November 15, 2009  1:01:50 PM PT
  An epic day of rain, pain, and suffering is now behind me, and I’ve got the lactic acid as proof after suffering through a super-tough, 3-climb stage of the Giant Tour. Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen called today’s action…

Top Rides: The Peri to Fosse Climb
Friday, November 13, 2009  8:38:31 AM PT
  Sometimes my best rides have been those with the least forethought, the least amount of time, the most luck, and just plain looking for the squiggly lines on the map. Such was the case one beautiful April afternoon when we pulled off the Autostrada just north of Verona in a little town called, Peri.

Friday, October 16, 2009  12:27:14 AM PT
  It's gray and raining here in Vancouver - typical fall/winter - perfect to start dreaming about next year's cycling trips! A signature climb of the Giro di Lombardia is the famous Madonna del Ghisallo church, high above Lake Como in Northern Italy.

Friday, October 16, 2009  12:23:56 AM PT

Travel: Classic Climbs Of The Alps
Wednesday, October 07, 2009  10:45:23 AM PT

Top Rides: Take Me Home, Country Roads
Monday, August 10, 2009  9:12:00 AM PT
  When the K-Mart Classic of West Virginia stormed through the state in the mid-90s, it opened awareness as to just how great the bike riding is in this once hidden jewel. I've ridden all over the US and Europe at this point, but in my experience, some of the best riding in the world can be found in the hills and hollers near Spencer, West Virginia.

Travel: Meet Il Perlo Panorama
Wednesday, August 05, 2009  11:14:23 AM PT
  On my last Italian holiday with Mrs. Pez, we stayed in a small hotel on Lago di Como, above Bellagio on the climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo church. The quiet surroundings and breath taking views were enough to warrant a return visit – but its location on the route for the Giro di Lombardia, and proximity to this year’s Worlds in Mendrisio make it a worthy stop for any PEZ Fan …

Top Rides: The Sella Ring
Friday, June 12, 2009  1:58:14 AM PT
  If I had one last ride to ride, I would ride here. I've ridden the famed Sella Ronda twice now, and afterwards, both times, I left for home shaking my head, overwhelmed by the grand cathedral I was leaving behind. It is beautiful, it is grand, it is nigh spiritual. It's a must.

Top Rides: PEZ Vs The Mur de Huy
Wednesday, April 22, 2009  2:10:35 PM PT
  The thing about the Flèche Wallonne parcours that surprised me most was just how hard this 200km ‘semi-Classic’ is. There’s nothing ‘semi’ about it… This hard course deserves the prime time and throws up 11 rated climbs, including 3 passes over a 1300 meter brute called the Mur. Here’s how it happened to me…

PEZ Does Flanders: Pre-Riding Gent-Wevelgem
Tuesday, April 07, 2009  6:32:37 PM PT
  Wednesday's semi-classic, Gent-Wevelgem, continues arguably the best week of bike racing of the season.

Let's take a look at the latter part of the parcours...

Top Rides: The Finale Of Milano-Sanremo!
Thursday, March 19, 2009  4:18:26 PM PT
  Milano-Sanremo enjoys a hard-earned spot on the list of lists: the Monuments. It is one of the most beautiful of the Classics, and it just happens to be six or so hours down the Autostrada from me - so it had to be done. I took on the final section along the coast to Sanremo...and it was just as I had imagined.

Top Rides: The Col De La Madone!
Thursday, February 05, 2009  4:27:29 PM PT
  Ok, I admit it, I've read both of Lance Armstrong's books (twice), and back when I wasn't even riding a bike, the name Col de la Madone sounded cool to me. I've always remembered the name and always wondered about the climb...and now Lance is back, and it's even more relevant. So on a Fall weekend sojourn down to Nice, I had to check it out.

Wednesday, December 24, 2008  9:53:49 AM PT
  The legendary passes in the high Italian Alps are admired, feared and respected by all that ride them. And the biggest of them all, the Passo dello Stelvio, has it all. Not only is is the highest mountain pass in Italy, at 2,758 meters, but with extensive switchbacks and long climbing kilometers on both sides, with another road joining from the Swiss side of the border, it offers one of the most beautiful, challenging and rewarding high mountain loops anywhere in Europe.
