The big news about yesterday’s ride was that the temp was forecast to rise to near 100º! Knowing that, we attempted to get an early start (for us anyway), and we also chose a relatively short 25 mile ride that took us through the lovely town of Trevi. That, of course, involved a pretty decent 1300+ foot climb. On to the photos…
A highlight of the tour this year that I’ve forgotten to mention is that we’ve been lucky enough to ride quite a few miles on peaceful little bike paths that follow large irrigation canals in much of this part of Italy. It’s a huge improvement over the traffic-laden roads we’ve been on near many of the bigger cities. Those roads are also often in a pretty awful state of disrepair as well, making it hard to navigate and not get run over!
We stopped in Trevi for a refreshment, and the find some relief from the heat..
After our (super sweaty) arrival in Spoleto, showered and (mostly) re-hydrated, we walked into the newer part of town to do some laundry and have what’s become our requisite afternoon gelato. Here are a few shots from that hike…
Stay tuned for the story of our second day in Spoleto tomorrow!
