Giro Day Twenty Two: Up the Valley Road

The pressure at the front by Euskatel stretched out the peleton into one long snaking line of cyclist who have been slowly climbing up through the river valley towards a snow covered finish of the day.  As the TV broadcast passed through each town, the names were given in Italian and German (we are by the Austrian border.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours through my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Giro Day Twenty Two: Looking Heavenward

Team Euskatel came to the front of the peleton during the stage, driving the pace for their GC man Samuel Sanchez.  Sanchez is riding high in the overall with a chance to move up in the standings thanks to a brilliant mountain time trial.  The peleton is riding through a beautiful river valley in the Dolomites of extreme northern Italy on their way to the final mountain top finish of the 2013 Giro.  They are hopefully seeing snow for the last time this racing season.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours by visiting my artist website.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post.

Giro Day Sixteen: An Alpine Valley

France wanted to get in on the beautiful scenery of the Italian race.  This is the peleton heading across the valley as they prepare to climb the Col de Telegraph and the Col du Galibier with the added pleasure of doing it in the snow.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available through a short 3 day auction on ebay.  Just follow the direct link at the end of this post, but act quickly, the auction begins as soon as this post is published.
