Hi Aldo,
I'm thinking about going to the l'Eroica this year but I've never been before, and I'm not up to speed on the various tour options. It would be nice to hook up with a group that includes some other gringos from the list. I've only been to Italy once and I don't speak Italian, but I would consider doing it without a tour company if anyone wanted to share the cost of renting a vehicle.
Regards, Jamie
