Yay! In a few hours we go to the airport and start a new cycling adventure. While in the past we have gone for as long as 3 and a half weeks, this will be 6 weeks. It comes courtesy of Tara’s almost retirement giving us the latitude to go for longer.
This will be a four country tour – Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and then a couple of days with Erika in England on the way home. We fly in to Venice while actually staying in Mestre just on the mainland. The routes go clockwise and sticking mostly to the coast and going as far south as Split. From there we take a ferry back to Italy at Ancona and proceed north up the coast to Mestre again. I am a bit nervous because there are so many hotel bookings and anything could throw us off schedule. However we are mostly staying 2-3 nights at a time so there is some flexibility in case we lose a day and have to catch up. Not so easy on a bike as opposed to a car though!

Wow! Looks like quite the adventure, such an interesting route, you will see so much! We are especially interested in the Istria peninsula as we missed that on our Croatia trip (no time). Enjoy the food and be safe – those Italian drivers can be crazy.

We love Italian drivers, I think they’re mostly cyclists!
Fantastic! Glad you made it! Look forward to your updates!
Ride on you two!
Ride on you two and have a splendid time!!
