Hi,
Looks like you’ll be going through Acquiterme. I HIGHLY recommend a stop at Cascina Marcantonio, a b-n-b with restaurant owned by my friend and fellow cyclist Guido Rapetti. It’s above the city surrounded by vineyards (also Guido’s) and his mom’s cooking is wonderful. Tell them Keith sent you!
Cheers,
Keith
Sounds like a perfect plan, altlhough it's hard to go wrong in Italy. ... France or Italy? I think France has the best small roads and variety for cycling with lots of not too densely populated space, but I don't feel passionate about France the way I do for Italy. I love the language, the food, the architecture, the people. I was there with my mother when I was 15 and somehow it got under my skin.
3 years agoStelvio! I wish you’d have reminded me just a few days ago. Too late now - we’re leaving town in the opposite direction in an hour. Next time, for sure.
3 years agoAgreed. Nice shot.
3 years agoYou two sure have had a great ride! Brings back fond memories of our rides (Moselle, Romantic Rd, Dolomites). Recall our ride east out of Trento up a nice hill you guys just coasted down. Enjoying your journal and great photos. You guys are just a short ride (even shorter train ride) to the base of Stelvio…just saying. And Lake Como near by. Detect any envy! Enjoy!

Ha!! Excellent advise!
3 years agoThanks for following along again, Carolyn. I hope to see you out on the road again soon. You’re right, we also love Spain, and now Germany and Austria. And Greece. And Croatia. Steven Stills had the right message, I think - Love the One You’re With.
3 years agoSo sounding like Italy & France are top of your favourites! Where now does Southern Spain, Germany & Austria lie on the list?
Seems like an incredible tour so far. I have been writing it down as I think we might copy it religiously!
Loving reading each entry with my morning coffee
A combination of luck, persistence, and great lighting. Well done.
3 years agoI was so pleased to be able to get this photo. I waited anxiously as one person after another walked past in the background, hoping that mom wouldn’t straighten up and wheel off before I got a clear shot.
3 years agoWhat a lovely, striking photo.
3 years agoDefinitely a video worth watching. I particularly liked seeing the other sea creatures and other human cyclists along the cycle path.
Oh, and the absolutely spectacular scenery!
Yes, I love this species, a variety of grebe we don’t have back home.

Happily following your trip. Wonderful photos. We came down from Torino to Cuneo (2016) via Pinerolo and Saluzzo, for a pleasant break after very hot temps along the Po. Bon route,
