Awesome....glad to hear your still training ya old fart :lol:

I saw several people near death... you know the type -- ashen grey faces... lips turning whitish... having to stop and moving like slugs... Me the old coot! Kickin' arse and takin' 'em two at a time - non stop to the top! I was thanking Jawarren (my trainer) the whole time! I actually hate him and I tell him that every time! :lol:

At the age of 47 I know the importance of training. I had been slacking off for 3 weeks before T-hill and I felt the difference. Kudos Weld :thumbsup:

Here's the start --- with crash -- taken with my iPhone.... excuse the upside-down start... I flipped this to better see the crash...


It's a short video...

And here's were we walked from the BOTTOM to the TOP!

Hey, you gotta problem with ashen grey faced people ? :_paranoid

I resemble that remark,haha..:rofl: :willy:

That is what Heart problems and Brain trouble will get you, errr ah, I mean me...

As long as I don't wear a Grey sweatshirt, I don't look as bad..:cheers:

I have to color co-ordinate my colors...Grey face, and Blue shirts seem to look the best.:lateral:

Here's a couple links to my photobucket account if anyone cares to just cruise thru the photos on there....

One is most of the photos I've put on this thread --- the "PORTOFINO" one is some pics of todays drive and lunch DIVE - on our way from Nice to Portofino hotel where we'll be for the next 3 nights... It's the Splendido --- Love that name! What a hoot!

Those pictures and the video are awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed them!


It's only about 1% of what I've taken... the magic - you know - of digital photography! Not having to pay development costs (RIP Kodak!)....

Next time I would bring a couple other bodies I have so I don't have to swap lens and tele convertors etc. I've also discovered that a good "shorter" lens would have been helpful as the two I brought can't capture the "actual" vistas as seen with your own two.

This morning when we FINALLY got our lazy arses out of the rack -- we had b'fast on the terrace with the view of the Dolce and Gabana (ask your wives) "weekend getaway hut". And when I peaked over the edge of the terrace wall saw another - they're a dime a dozen here - Ferrari and Lambo. They truly are the Chevrolets <or maybe Buicks> of the places we're visiting.
