Monday 7 October 2019

As today's ride is allegedly the toughest day - with 2.5km of climbing and rain forecast, it was a Rest Day for Edna and me!

True to forecast, the route was gruelling - even from the van - and rain poured down at varied strengths and times throughout the day.

Mt Etna, like Fuji, is mysterious and somewhere behind the clouds but we may get a better look tomorrow.

Our friend Eli set off from the lunch spot at around 70km and we picked him up in the van 3 km later and rode in to the very comfortable Hotel Riviera where we lunched at the hotel restaurant.


115.0km +2576m/-1926m
 







As a reward for all the group who actually cycled today, TDA put on a spectacular dinner, complete with wines, at Ristorante Garden
