Another year, another country

Italy - Grand Traverse - North to South (17 days)
In my continuing quest to cycle around the world bit by bit (I do have to go to work sometimes!), the next country on the list promises fabulous food, wine and lots and lots of hills. 




I’ve been attempting to train for the hills, but Cambridgeshire isn’t exactly known for 2800 metre climbing days. I’m hoping the gelato, pizza, pasta etc will motivate the tree trunks to keep going,  but I am rather nervous about how hard this trip is going to be.
I decided to tackle this trip as part of a group so my usual support crew is going to have more of a holiday (assuming he can cope with driving a hire car on Italian roads and finding parking spaces in hilltop medieval towns!)

Day 12 to Altamura

Image
I suspected that the 84 miles today were going to be tough and I wasn’t wrong! The day started with a spectacular sunrise and we managed to stay dry all day, woohoo. The first 25 miles were like riding around the fens at home, completely flat, but with a delightful Italian style road surface - ouchy. Apparently there were flamingos out there somewhere but I just saw bird like things (terrible eyesight!) At the first stop after trundling along at 17mph, the battered body was refuelled with two cappuccinos and yet more cake. There was then quite a rude climb through vineyards and olive trees. Lunch was next to Castel del Monte, a hexagonal castle on top of a hill, obviously more climbing! The final 31 miles of rolling hills were a battle of mind over aching body and I was very relieved to remove my bum from the saddle. Rusty had fun trying to find a parking space and then the accommodation which is in the centre of the old town. He was really not impressed but he was dragged off to do a ...

Day 13 to Alberobello

Image
Today was not a good day, the ride could be described as Russian roulette with terrible Italian drivers and I was grumpy mcgrumpy. I was stiff, sore and tired when we set off and had barely warmed up when we arrived in Matera, the ‘city of stone’ and unbelievably awful drivers. We left the bikes with the van and Wally on guard duty, then had a wander around the UNESCO listed ‘Sassi’ houses. All very interesting and beautiful but I’m not entirely convinced it was worth the terrifying cycle ride. A Nutella doughnut and cappuccino vaguely cheered me up and then it was off to bounce along the potholes for 30 miles to lunch. Bizarrely the location chosen for today’s picnic was in a grotty play area next to a horrible apartment block. I ate my lunch at warp speed and pedalled off on my own to get the riding over with. The last 17 miles managed to be straight, boring, potholed and scary with the final straw being lunged at by a snappy terrier. My only photo from the ride is suitably grumpy wi...

Day 15 to Leuca

Image
Last day today and the battered body is ready for a rest - the comfy bed was very hard to leave this morning!  The first part of the ride was a speedy pootle on the flat (sorry bum again), with the final cappuccino served by a very beautiful Italian man in a deserted seaside resort. After negotiating the last big town and opportunity for Italian drivers and potholes to do their worst, the ride became a stunning rollercoaster along the coastline. Sadly lunch was a mediocre bowl of pasta in a restaurant with terrible muzak, instead of a yummy picnic and Bob joined in the sulk by getting his third puncture.  The end of the ride was however rather fabulous, finishing at the bottom of Italy at a beautiful lighthouse with a glass of Spumante. Bob was treated to a clean with copious baby wipes before being packed into his bag and Rusty and I had a delightfully chilled beverage or three watching the sun go down. And so it ends, after almost 1000 miles of pedalling up and down an awful...
