If you can afford a few days on this one, you might bike inland from Cefalu up through the Madonie, and then east on SS120 to Randazzo. It’s an gorgeous ride the whole way, and much quieter than through the coastal resorts.

Thanks Scott, good catch, We arrive in Palermo April 9
Will fix the map.

Your narrative states you’re catching the ferry to Palermo, but your map shows you landing in Trapani?

We ran into them in Winthrop the year you did the NT. They were a few days ahead of you at that point.

I can't wait to read this journal!

Thanks for the update. We have Susan Carpenter with us in Tucson this week, and we were discussing your schedule last night and wondering if she’d cross paths with you in Morocco or if we might in Sicily, Basilicata or Puglia.

We have our dates and ferries booked
March 29 Tanger to Barcelona
April 2 Barcelona to Porto Torres
April 8 Cagliari to Palermo

This looks so awesome. I wish we were going along, but we can’t be two places at once. If you pick this option, I suggest that you consider biking to Ohrid by way of Lake Prespa rather than Pogradec. Our day ride to Prespa and back from Korce was a real highlight of that tour: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/greece3/lake-prespa/.

Nope zero for ten. Sorry to be so useless.

No, we’ll be home before you. Our Schengen time is up June 13th. We don’t have a schedule in mind for after we get back, but I imagine we’ll be coming through in late June.

Just realized, we will be home (June 18th) and you guys will probably still be in Europe, we will need a electronic meetup to celebrate July 8th (our 28th)

Have you stayed at any of these bike hotels? https://ciclabilisiciliane.com/en/bike-hotels-in-sicily/

That is a must do! Let the planning begin!

We were thinking maybe sometime around July 8th for a joint anniversary celebration.

Not the Tyrrhenian Coast, which we’ve biked along most of in previous tours. We’ll be biking along parts of the Adriatic coast, but only north of Bari.
