The Bells were ringing

Having a quiet day today after yesterday's efforts and to let the back get straightened.
Sun is not just shining,  it is very hot and we have been on  the  loungers on the sun deck.
Took a run along to Predazzo this morning to fuel up, etc,  stopping in the town Centre for a wander and go to the Co-Op.  Steve and I sat in the main square which was deserted although there was a lot of passers By-  we soon found out why when the church bells started to ring. At first there were three sets of chimes for 12md,  then all hell let loose when the big bells were rung.  Folks were passing with fingers in their ears!!  and it went on for some ten minutes. Needed a Paracetamol after that racket.
Headed back to the Hotel,   some of the group are away on the big ride out which is about 140 miles today (in this head)  but worth it for the lunch, and three have taken themselves off to do the two passes we did yesterday (and get the badge of course).

Tonight is the formal reception, so everyone gets dressed up, a few invited guests will attend, and no doubt go on late.    WE have Iain with us who will play his accordion,  (we had a bit of a warm up last night), and no doubt a few sore heads later.

Tomorrow we head off again, this time to Carenno, about 180 miles away near to Como and Bergamo.  Just need to wait and see what rout we take !!!
