A beautiful sunny day started our ride to San Marino (which is located on a VERY high hill/mountain). We had two areas of assent that were 10% and one that was 18% - the ride was very challenging, but most of the hills were long with a steady climb which makes it very scenic. At the top everyone stopped for coffee and a rest before the decent. Half way down we were treated to a picnic at the hotel owner’s house: pizza, bread, spaghetti, salad, and wine were all a tasty treat. Dessert consisted of a flat yellow cake followed with two types of grappa (one similar to lighter fluid, the other – lemon flavored lighter fluid). That evening we invited a single traveler, Bill from California, to our table. He shared some great suggestions for other fantastic biking vacations in Europe. What a fantastic day!! Check out the pictures.
