Imperia sidetrip

2 Jul

Today we retraced our route from yesterday partially and rode west along the coast again then made a loop going north through a few small towns on the via Cipressa which is a small segment of the annual Milano – San Remo bike race. It was a nice little climb of about 250 meters over 6kms through some pretty countryside with views of the sea and coastline.

Then we went back to the Riviera cycling path until almost San Remo and again turned north and rode a few kms to Taggia which is another town with an interesting medieval centre and a bridge over the river that dates back to the 12 century and has 15 arches.

It is a real treat riding without the heavy bags, we feel so much lighter and stronger, più forte.

A safe place to park the bike but the stairs are hard to ride
