Hating you right now! That said it looks like there are a few Gran Fondos on when you are there. Perhaps you'll be having a crack at one?

If you are going to be anywhere near Pescara (Abruzzo region) have a look at Majella for a challenging climb! It featured in the 2009 Giro as part of an 84km stage!
