Italy is such a beautiful country but the east coast road and the N9 were long ago forgotten. Endless tarmac with factories and show rooms. It’s like cycling through 100 mile long retail park with lorries going past you at 70. Even the roadside Oleanders look weary and defeated.

Temperature a paltry 35 degrees so Cliff has his thermals on.

Tanya and Andrew are now with us on their Harley (Tanya being the world’s greatest magician with body pains and aches). She’s dealing with hamstrings and sore knees already.

70 miles done and just 51 to go.
