We meet Claudio riding a 6 kilo, 6000 euro carbon fiber Viner bicycle. Pictures of the local wild boar hunters and 'cowboys'. A tradition is the hunter rubs his face in the blood of the dead boar. Gross! Dana and Claudio chat about the bicycle way of life. More local cyclists streak past. Claudio encounters something even more sexy than his 6 kg Viner wonderbike. You lucky man!

Sandra gives the bike the forefinger test - 6kg! Claudio test rides the Pro Petite - despite the 6000 Euro price tag on his Viner, notice the big smile on his face! His verdict? Not bad! Day 10: We've arrived! Porto Ecole, the end of Bike Across Italy. My room was on the top floor of the dark reddish brown building to the right - Hotel Don Pedro.

Sandra made it across Italy. This was her second CC tour. Porto Ecole at 6am. The final goodbye to Bike Across Italy - the last of us being shuttled back to Rome for our flights home. The Spanish Steps in Rome.
