Titolo: Hey Sergio

I have accessed some very old archives, and I keep seeing Luperini winning a
race titled nothing other then Cascine Di Buti. I thought Cascine Di Buti
was nothing more then a incredibly small community of few houses, no stores
I suppose or much else, coffee shop. How is it that such a small community
could put on a race, as I see it was big enough to draw the big names. Or
this sponsered by the much bigger cities like Pisa? Is this something she
won often in her hometown? I see she won it at least twice!
1993
Cascine Di Buti

Getting ready for Sunset Boulevard?
I'll enquire, perhaps this afternoon, by asking Michela's uncles.

Clueless again, but I want to go to Mclane, CVC, and maybe Sea Otter this
year. Redlands I doubt, too far, but who knows. I was completely some
archive work this month with someone you might of heard of. He seems to know
more about race results then anyone in the world, his name is Mario Stiehl.
I am the first person to complete the Toona results on the internet, and
also I have almost completed the German Tour with much effort, but still two
years are still unknown, but I have asked Petra Rossner directly, so maybe
she can help. She has given her website a new facelift. I have a friend who
lives in Altoona and he has helped by going directly to the Altoona Library.
Also Alfred North has been a big help, since his archives are quite
extensive, but Mario I think must surely be the biggest guru of race results
worldwide. However, while doing the research, I kept coming up on Luperini
for Cascine Di Buti race in the early 90's and it intrigued me a bit.

The German Tour microfilm archives didn't even have all the winners here.

I have building a quick reference in my spare time, but I am undecided about
adding teams, since the early years are so sketchy!

No chance.
I rode up to Monte Serra and had meant to descend onto Lucca.
It turned out to be impossible, because of the snow.

Thanks anyway Sergio. Its not all that important, just my curiousity.
I don't have a clue about the reference to Sunset Boulvard, but let me just
speak at random. I have been there many times, and of course Melrose where
all the fancy shop and groupies hang out. Melrose is studded with Hollywood
Studios. On Sunset Boulvard you have access to all the haunts of the stars
and Beverly Hills which I used to drag as a teen and middle ager, until its
flavor or phasod wore off. I have actually seen much more stars in Santa
Barbara and Montecito and Hope Ranch as I used to go there quite often. My
best friend lives only two blocks from the beach near Fess Parkers Red Lion
resort. I find Santa Barbara to be low key, lots of fun, great wheather year
round, 70 degrees and the stars don't hide like they do in Hollywood. My
friend works at the Santa Barbara art museum and stars enter the museum all
the time! Also stars talk with people in Santa Barbara, unlike LA, because
they feel more at home there, it is the city of the rich and famous. I could
list tons of stars which live there, and I have seen quite a few, talked
with several, but for cycling there is the Santa Barbara criterium yearly. I
have often gone on climbs behind the hills in Santa Barbara with my friend
at Red Rock. I prefer SB over Sunset Boulvard anytime, as Sunset Boulvard is
just a drag for teens wishing to catch a glimspe of movie stars!
In fact, I basically just hate LA!!!!!!
B-

 Boulevard?
I have been to Westwood village at night, absolutely mad!! Also I have done
some research at UCLA library but it was not for cycling. That was the same
day I visited Santa Monica pier, and then went to Westwood village, haunt of
the students, and night owls that drag endlessly. I got caught up in the
drag one night, and we almost never got out!
Nuts!
B-

 at Red Rock.
I have gone up to San Marcos Pass only once, on a borrowed bike.
Let me know when you are goimg back to Santa Barbara; I have good 
connections in town.

Yeah, I have done Marcos Pass, and all along the mountains behind SB, where
Jane Fonda used to live. You can see her house from the road! Nice view from
up there! My friends moved into a nice condo, and they have been wanting me
to come down. It a bit more crowded then it used to be, sign of the times,
smog is worse too, but hey, what can you say? I will let you know by email
next time I go! Its like everywhere else, too many people want to live
there. Its expensive but there is no shortage of rich folks who want to live
there. Condos were booming in Goleta, near UCSB.

 connections in town.
Do you have good connettions in San Diego, too?
I'm going to spend one week next March.
:-D
Marina 

 I'm going to spend one week next March.
Pardon me, I guess you meant this coming march, right?
Back to San Diego, now.
I used to know a very fine chap, Professor John Wheatly of La Jolla, a 
friend and a very distinguished physicist in fact, with whom I rode 
over a week-end around the highlands of Scotland, once upon a time.
He later had a multiple bypass and suffered a premature death while 
riding his bike over to the University. Something that he had always 
done and continued doing after the operation.
Very sad, indeed.
When in San Diego, visit the Zoo and, please, say hello from me to the 
apes. That one is believed to be the best collection of such primates 
in the whole World.

I have been there at least twice I think. Wild Animal Park is cool too, take
a ride around the park on a tram! You can see the whole Zoo in a day, maybe
4 hours if you walk quickly, but more like 6 hours with lunch, and very sore
feet. Last time I was there the gorillas were throwing their crap at people,
so I wouldn't get too close. So much for the primates! LA Zoo is quite good
though, as is San Francisco. If you get up to Monterey, visit the Aquarium,
as that is spectacular!

Calma.
C'e' ancora da andare a Genova!

We are tied, also I have been at least three times to Monterey Aquarium, but
not to wear it out, I have not been back for many years. It's only 200 miles
from my house. However you might turn your eyes to newly multi-million
dollar refurbished De Young Museum in San Francisco.
http://tinyurl.com/24hweb
http://www.sfmuseum.org/hist2/museum.html
 It was just completely renovated last year with a beautiful copper finish,
and is said to be the latest rage in San Francisco. If that's not enough
then at the exact same location all together in the same building you can
take in the Steinhart Aquarium and Morrison Planetarium. The Steinhart has a
cool 360 degree room of glass with fish swimming in a circle at the full
height of a human and is most spectacular!

 Now that is quite nice, for the scientific mind like Sergio, I recommend he
go to the Exploratorium, which for a few dollars he can tinker with gadgets
all day long!!
