Waiting to sail

Wonderful Victoria, patient, understanding and organising.

Great legs!

Great bike

Deserted cycle path and an easy route into Rome.

Cycled round two thirds of the lake from Trevignano to Bracciano.

This got a bit tricky. After two failed tracks this one worked. I don’t think the army would have found me here.

Stunning views.

A 40km steady climb up 1km.

Did too much this day with 100km ride over 9 hours. Little legs stopped working at the end.

Over the top but not the last climb of the day.

No need to worry about rotting timber or rusting metal in the ground.

Lake Lugano – it did clear for us to enjoy a picnic with no one else around.

Wet again leaving Como with a steep climb out of the city.
