The Race of the Falling Leaves - Il Lombardia - is the fifth and final one-day Monument of the professional cycling calendar. Its peloton has been navigating the roads and climbs of Lake Como since 1905. On each edition, the race has climbed up the Ghisallo past Hotel Il Perlo, and for almost ten years the hotel and ComoLagoBike have been hosting cycling guest tifosi to experience the race in person. 2018 was another epic race, met with sunny warm skies and the colorful fans in full attendance. Full photo album is available on my Flickr site.
