  PezCycling News - What's Cool In Pro Cycling
A day of unquestioned cycling history, Andy started the 17th stage of that Giro in second place, and despite the Italians pleading with him to ride “piano piano” over the last climb, he went on an epic attack that earned him the maglia rosa, and the only American win of Italy’s grand tour.
All the leaders’ jerseys were wool in those days.” As Andy recounts the story, you can hear in his voice that he’s back in 1988, only this time feeling pride and joy — but also remembering the fear that gripped the peloton as they climbed into the unknown that gray, sleeting morning… June 5, 1988.
It’s not icy on the Gavia, but it is snowing.”

The Gavia Pass is opened from June to September.
Before the top of the Gavia you will cross a bridge over the "Rezzalasco", then you arrive at the alpine lodge "Berni" on a level of 2545 m, where a war memorial reminds us of the First World War.

 Lavochkin La-7 by Ian Robertson (Gavia 1/48)
The 1/48 Gavia La-7 is a welcome improvement over the somewhat dated Hobbycraft kit (for a detailed photographic comparison of the two kits refer to November 2002 issue of "Military In Scale" magazine).
Improvements in shape, detail and design bring the Gavia kit much closer to what we have come to expect from mainstream model companies, or at least from those companies that charge upwards of $30 (US) for a model.
The later three-gun version has just been released by Gavia (as a Profipack) and includes a resin cowl replacement for the new gun configuration; however, it sells for about $10 more than the original two-gun Profipack version.

 Arctic: Response of Pacific loons (Gavia pacifica) to impoundments at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Reproductive success and foraging effort of Pacific loons (Gavia pacifica) were compared between impoundments and natural ponds in the Prudhoe Bay oil field, Alaska, in 1992 and 1993.
Strong (1990) concluded that habitat conditions for breeding common loons (Gavia immer) are reflected most accurately by reproductive output, and that the best measurement of reproduction may be a count of prefledged chicks 7-10 weeks old.
Dickson (1993) similarly indicated for red-throated loons (Gavia stellata) that reproductive success, as measured by young that survive to fledging, was a good indication of local habitat conditions.

 Lavochkin La-7 Review by Brett Green (Gavia 1/48)
Gavia's subjects have followed the same WWI and WWII themes as Eduard's kits, and although Gavia's quality might not quite match the best of Eduard's latest releases, they are certainly very good.
Gavia's 1/48 scale La-7 is striking in its simplicity.
Gavia's new 1/48 scale Lavochkin La-7 should deliver a very attractive and accurate model of this significant Soviet fighter straight from the box.
