do you mean what were the temps on the dolomities, about 20 -22 degrees but when down in the towns of Italy it was early 30's and one day it was 35 . up high in the alps it was stil 16-18 but never felt cold as the sun was always scorching

GTR Club Europe
http://eu.zggtr.org/ (http://eu.zggtr.org/)

I'm a founder member but haven't been very involved over the last few years due to Credit Crunch.
Check out my website for some writeups on previous Rallies and Tour-de-Twist rides.
http://gtr1000.com/main/main.htm (http://gtr1000.com/main/main.htm) and click on Trips.
They are a great bunch and they do find some interesting places to hold rallies.
I've done Alborg, Denmark in 2001, Altenmarkt, Austria in 2003, Holland in 2004, Mellrichstadt, German in 2007.
Next years TdT is being organised in the UK, so I'm told.
