We are so looking forward to Lionheart!<\/p>\n<p>Once we decided to commit to the tour we looked at how we might go about preparing for it. Riding our bikes is the obvious answer, with a bit of hilly stuff inserted to make sure we can cope with the Dolomites and the Austrian Alps. &nbsp;We also pondered how to best acclimatise and try to ensure that we won&#8217;t be sick when the tour starts. A couple of weeks in Italy before we rendezvous with Sam and his sidekicks seemed like just the ticket, so that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing. A week of regular, bumpy riding in the foothills of the Dolomites &#8211; as long as we aren&#8217;t hampered by colds &#8211; followed by another week of extreme tapering on the plains south of Venice is what we&#8217;ve got scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>For the first week we&#8217;ll be based just outside the beautiful, historic town of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Asolo\">Asolo<\/a> and after our ride today I thought I might look at cycling possibilities in the area. We won&#8217;t be far from the famous Passo San Boldo, which we&#8217;ll ascend on the second proper day of riding. This climb is famous for its tunnels, managed by a series of traffic lights. Here&#8217;s an idea of what we&#8217;re in for &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98\" src=\"http:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"858\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo.jpg 858w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo-830x519.jpg 830w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo-230x144.jpg 230w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo-350x219.jpg 350w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/Climbing-San-Boldo-480x300.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looks pretty cool, eh!
