The newly formed Barga Vespa Club already has a membership into the hundreds in just the first few months of its formation here in Barga and the surrounding area. This morning they took to the roads for the 1st Giro del Territorio Barghigiano.
More than 70 vespa’s took part as they wound there way around the narrow lanes in the mountains above Barga. Calling in on Castelvecchio Pascoli, Fornaci di Barga, Tiglio, Renaio and Sommocolonia the whole tour took more than 5 hours to complete
Five hours ? seems like a long time … it could be done on foot in five hours quite easily ….. ah, but that is not taking into account the stops on the way to rest the aging vespas … breakfast at Franco’s bar in Barga Giardino, top up at Renaio, a couple of drinks maybe with Lorenzo at La Mocchia and a final spaghetti meal once again back in Barga.

Very cool! Does the Vespa Club sell those T-Shirts and sweatshirts to non-members? My daughter wants one (we tried to find AS Barga shirts, too, come to think of it).
ok dannyboy – I contacted the BargaVespaClub this morning –
all shirts are sold out at the moment but they are printing new ones – should be ready later on this week.
There will be BargaVespaClub club t-shirts which cost euro 15 and sweatshirts, euro 28.
If you become a member of the club (which will cost you only euro15) you will then be eligible for a discount on those prices.
You will of course have to add postage on those prices …so buying one would not be very sensible … so how about BargaVespaClub t-shirts for all the family ??
