Day 14: Vercelli (ITA) to Torino (ITA)
This morning I left Vercelli, a quiet departure compared to the busy entries of other cities. The countryside was still fresh, the roads almost empty, and soon I reached Crova, where I met my friend Stefano.
Riding together after so many solo days felt special, we hadn’t seen each other…

Day 13: Bergamo (ITA) to Vercelli (ITA) via Monza
Leaving Bergamo Alta this morning was quick, but once I dropped into the lower city, I hit the morning rush: school traffic, buses, and endless cars. Navigating out of Bergamo wasn’t easy, but eventually I escaped into quieter roads.
In just over an hour I reached Monza. My route passed…

Day 12: Verona (ITA) to Bergamo (ITA) via Brescia
Leaving Verona this morning wasn’t quick: big city traffic, endless lights, bike paths that start and stop, and cars everywhere. By the time I finally escaped the city, it already felt like the first challenge of the day was behind me. My goal was Bergamo, a long ride away, and…

Day 11: Padova (ITA) to Verona (ITA) via Vicenza
This morning I decided to stick to my original plan and pass through Vicenza before reaching Verona. The forecast showed only light rain early, so I thought: why not? After a relaxed breakfast and a slow start, I left Padova around 10:00 under grey skies, wearing my “motivational glasses” with…

Day 10: Venice (ITA) to Padova (ITA)
The alarm rang at 5:00 this morning so I could prepare sandwiches and get ready for the ferry to Venice. Boarding began at 6:00, and by 6:30 I was in line with many others, bikes included. At 7:00 sharp, the catamaran left Pula, and after about four hours we arrived…

Day 9: Poreč (CRO) to Pula (CRO)
The first part of my tour is now complete: today I reached Pula after riding 79 kilometers and climbing 850 meters. It didn’t feel difficult at all. After nine days on the road, my legs feel strong, and daily rides of 80–100 kilometers with 800–1'000 meters of climbing have become…

Day 8: Trieste (ITA) to Poreč (CRO)
Today was my eighth day on the road, 94 kilometers with 910 meters of climbing. After preparing my own breakfast and even some sandwiches for lunch, I left Trieste around nine. Being Sunday morning, the traffic was light, and although the city has some bike lanes, they often end abruptly,…

Day 7: Grado (ITA) to Trieste (ITA)
Today was meant to be an easy ride, but the Bora winds had other plans. I left Grado expecting a flat stage with only small hills near Trieste, but the headwind slowed me down and cost me almost an hour of extra effort. By the time I reached the city,…

Day 6: Udine (ITA) to Grado (ITA) via Nova Gorica (SLO)
Today was one of the most interesting rides of the trip so far, because it was all about connecting special places.
I had planned the fastest routes on normal roads instead of bike paths, and in the morning the traffic was light, so riding was smooth. In total I covered…

Day 5: Sappada (ITA) to Udine (ITA)
Today was all about descending from the mountains into the Friulian plain. It was 102 kilometers with 435 meters of climbing, mostly a long downhill ride that felt almost like a recovery day. I started out on the main road with cars and trucks, heavy traffic but smooth riding, and…

Day 4: Brunico (ITA) to Sappada (ITA)
Today was supposed to be a recovery ride, but it turned into quite an effort. I left Brunico late in the morning, after changing my saddle, which helped a lot with the pain, and after cleaning the chain. By the time I finished making a few phone calls and dealing…
