End of Day 2

A well deserved Rose watching the sunset over the lake

Tough life

The start of lake Garda - can it get any better

Bike love

I just love my faithful Dawes

Arrival at Lake Garda

The planner

In more relaxed mode

Day 2. Heading south

Apples, vineyards, gentle downhill but hard fast peddling to cover 86 miles. Stunning!

Day 1. Early lunch

We made a mistake by eating far too much too early, washed down by cold beers. It meant 65 miles without a break to make it by dark.

Day 1

Cycle path through the South Tyrol. Making fast progress.

Here we go!

At the Italian border at 1pm with 75 miles ahead of us.
