Rainy days and Mondays: Good day on a bike

September 11, 2017

The rain stopped this morning but it was very misty/foggy all day and at the end of the day the rain returned. We rode north of Riccione into areas that I have not seen before on a bike. Our one signifiant climb was about 5km long at 6% but the last km was about 11% and into the clouds. The sightseeing was not great but we had a good ride of 83km with 2800ft of climbing at an average speed of 22.7pm. Ham had some bike issues so we went to the local shop to sort them out, which they did at no charge.
