Giro Day Seventeen: Rest Day

This is the day that the racers get to rest, usually only riding about 50 miles at a 18 -20 mile pace, what I would call a good hard ride for me.  If they were to take the day off the bike, they would stiffen up so bad they may not be able to move when the peleton fires back up on Tuesday.  It has been a rather spectacular two weeks of racing full of drama, determination and beauty. I am sure the final week will not disappoint.
