Green Hills of Umbria

We took the bikes and ourselves on a ‘shake down’ ride. We cycled from Spoleto to Rasiglia and on to Foligno: 2200 feet elevation gain and 40 miles. We took the train back to Spoleto, knowing that we can handle the San Benedetto bike tour. Some fine tuning of the bikes and all was well. The only casualties are M lost a bike shoe cleat (but he has spares), and my tush is a bit saddle sore (butt I’ll toughen up). After the big climb, there was a lovely place for a picnic and a lush view of barley fields.
