Breaking news: 6 bikes locked-in in a garage in Kaltern...

...and the owner of the garage is out of the city. The hotel has arranged for a locksmith to come, but we're in Italy and it's Saturday so God knows when he will come. We're crossing fingers for things to go quick.

A new day has begun

Stage 4 is up and coming. We're about to go ahead for the last out of 4 stages on our way to Riva del Garda. Today we have around 103 km and 2000 climbing meters to overcome.
