So I make the scene, and then the race happens within it. But getting the photos are difficult ? there?s so much going on and so little time to think. You don?t get another try.? Recently, Jered headed to Italy for La Maratona dles Dolomites, an 86-mile (138-kilometer) race with 13,878 feet (4,230 meters) of climbing through the country?s northeastern mountain range.

Today on our story: head out for a ride with Jered at La Maratona.
