I believe this was published in 2016. If someone has a copy that they'd like to move on. It would be helpful in planning next years trip. :thumbup

I was under the impression that you could download them from the Ride website? Might be mistaken.

Yes, SkidT you can download the routes, but I'm after a copy of the book, which is no longer available from Ride magazine.

I'm gonna go to Italy, Lake Garda on June, where are you planning to go in Italy? We will go with some of my biker friends so you can join us if you'd like to. I'm planning to buy property in Lake Garda so we are going to stop there for a week or something so you will have time to discover the beautiful nature as well.

Ride Guide to Italy :lol :lol  Love it. I'll still do the Alps, but wanted to make sure I do the Italian passes, and also get down to the Marco Simoncelli memorial at Coriano, near Tavullia, so the Alps might have to take a back seat this year. I'll give it some proper thought in April and make a plan.

Hi guidry,
Thanks for the offer, but I'm a camper, so just make it up almost day by day. Rode to Lake Garda about 15 years ago, a really nice part of the world, enjoy your trip and happy house hunting.

Mark, I have got the latest (2019) Ride Guide to Europe, which has a chapter on Italy. Whether it contains everything covered in the Ride Guide to Italy I wouldn't know. I'm not at all computer techy, but if you are able to make it available to download, I'm sure it would benefit anyone planning a trip in that neck of the woods :thumbup , especially me :lol .
