It looks like we'll have some crummy weather today here in Northfield, but there's (almost) no way the weather here today will compare with the weather in northern Italy 20 years ago today, when cyclist Andy Hampsten made a magnificent ride up and over the the Passo Gavia, one of the hardest climbs in the Alps, during a horrific blizzard on his way to becoming the first - and so far only - American to win the Giro d'Italia, Italy's version of the Tour de France.
