Another beautiful day! A little chillier but felt great. We started with a bus trip up the valley from the charming little town of Bassano where we are staying.
Deb decided to take the day off from biking and explore the town. I was mightily tempted to do that too because Bassano is so beautiful.
But it turned out to be one of the most scenic rides of the week!
View from the Bus.
Consulting after a wrong turn. Actually
it was mostly easy directions today. Almost always just following the well marked bike path.
One of many amazing views along the way.
Dave stopped to take some video.
At one of the trickiest turns our guide Luca was waiting to point the way. He was the van driver today and Valeria was bringing up the rear on her bike.
At mile 30 or so we came to a Bici Grill where we stopped for lunch. There are many of these along the bike path just for bikers!
We had enormous salads.
Some people rode another 25 miles. We decided to take the train which was offered as an option as the most scenic riding was over.
45 minute train ride back to Bassano.
After a shower we decided to walk around town. Dave wanted to find a quiet place to have a coffee and read his twin engine text book, but we got stuck in the middle of a huge crowd because the town was having a fair.
It took us a while to make our way out of it. We did sit for a while at a Cafe. But are now back in the room waiting to meet the group at 7:45pm for our farewell dinner.
Tomorrow morning a bus and water taxi take us into Venice. Only an hour from here.
