Wake up at 4:30 AM, departure at 6:15 AM. Short detour to greet dear, and never forgotten, friend Daniele. We cross, for about 70 km, beautiful vineyard cultivations in an excellent position on the valley floor along the Adige. At the turn-off for Riva del Garda, the valley widens. At km 75, we turn

Note: we actually did 50km. practically always on pretty good cycle paths. The Garmin "froze" while we were doing the "Ring" tour and, in fact, it only shows 35km; lucky sighting of an all-female Lipizzan horses team in the garden in front of the "Albertina" museum.
