Day 19. Siena - Lake Bolsena 119.6 km. We ditched following the old pilgrims route since it was going to be a hot & long day even when following the shortest ride-able path.The road (SR 2) had some traffic but it was still a very nice and scenic ride.

Day 17. Levanto - Lucca 125.1 km. The day started with a nice 10 km / 500 m climb straight from the gates of the camping ground followed by some smaller ascents and a racy descent to La Spezia. From Ameglia onwards the route followed a beach road to Viareggio. What a strange ride it was! Over 35 kilometers of straight and totally flat like a pancake palm boulevard and wind at our back.

Day 14. Genoa - Levanto via Portofino 115.3 km. An epic ride from Genoa to Levanto with over 3000 vertical meters of climbing. First following a scenic and hilly coastal route from Genoa to Sestri Levante and then a long climb to Passo di Bracco (610 m) and descent to Levanto. From Genoa to Sestri Levante it was traffic all the time but it didn’t bother too much since the pace of traffic was mellow and drivers kept good amount of space when going pass. Surprisingly from Sestri Levante onwards there were basically no traffic at all. I made a mistake and took a turn to Levanto too early, that probably cost us additional 300 - 400 m of climbing compared to route described at http://italy-cycling-guide.info/cycleways-cycle-routes/coastal-rides/liguria-coast/liguria-coast-2/

Day 13. Como - Genoa 0 km. Fast forward to better weather. Forecasts were for only thunderstorms and heavy rain for the days to come and we didn’t want to wait in Como for the sky to clear up so we decided to take a train to Genoa.

Day 11. Andermatt - Cadenazzo 109.4 km. The Alps passed! Day started with a 15 km / 640 vertical meter climb from Andermatt to the peak of St. Gotthard pass at 2,106 m. Followed by a steep descent to Airolo mostly on cobblestone hairpins. Basically it was a 80 km downhill all the way to Bellinzona. We planned to ride to Lugano but were stopped by a thunderstorm. After riding an hour on a heavy rain on not so quiet road we decided to turn back to Cadenazzo and take a train to Como. https://www.strava.com/activities/1055745884

Day 5. Mesnil-Saint-Pére - Langres 111,1 km. Through Champagne in a 35c heat. Pitch from the road started melting and got stuck to our tires. I’ve had wind, hills, heat, fatigue and rain to slow me down but never this before. New things :-)
