Rovereto


A calm start from the excellent Hotel Villa Fontana with only 30ks of flat sunny path to ride.... then it started raining men.... and a lot of very fit ones at that............ running and push upping and machoing in green vests. An army training exercise along the adige bici path.
Then a cafe at the bici grill to slake our coffee thirst. Then into Rovereto after pedal adjustments. Finally the correct fountain was found just in time for the very friendly Tourist Information before siesta time closed in.. Past a big but tasty gelati so big it could only be shared , two stuttgartian fellow veloistes and then onto Hotel Sant Illario as it will be rain tomorrow we will be on the train again to Mestre to see Padova or Venezia after that.
Legs are good, net is working as we sit in the first verandah yet and zuppa vegetariana awaits what more could two people in ,love ask for?

The Val Adige was flat but fun. I get the feeling the real riding was around us as we plod along the super flat middle path of least resistance. Trentino was very rich with visual stimulation.  This trip was never about making hero/ines of ourselves rather the dolce vita.
