Once again, we were on more roads than\ncycle paths, and a couple of sections were very busy (particularly the bit\nbetween Cornuda and Vidor). Some of this was my fault for insisting the route\ntake us past Lidl, however! Despite the busy-ness, I have to say once again\nthat we had no problem with any vehicle. They were all very courteous and at\nno point did we feel in any danger.</p>\n<p>We left grappa country and entered the world of prosecco. And very pretty it\nis too!! The hillsides just drip with vines. We were following the wine route\nfor much of the afternoon, but decided that drinking prosecco probably wasn't\nthe best idea on a very hot ride!</p>\n<p>There are two campsites in the area, so of course we chose the far cheaper\noption of Riva del'Oro. It's right on the banks of the lake. The facilities\nare a little bit dated, but very clean and entirely functional. The MAJOR plus\n(apart from the 20 euro price tag) is that it has a covered sitting / cooking\narea, which was very welcome as it did rain a fair bit! Lots of people here\nincluding 5 other cycle tourists. No one seems to talk to each other though\nwhich I'm finding very odd, but I guess that's because there are so many of us\ndoing similar things.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.strava.com/activities/1715326133\">https://www.strava.com/activities/1715326133</a></p>\n<p><span\n      class=\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\"\n      style=\"position: relative; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;  max-width: 800px;\"\n    >\n      <a\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-link\"\n    href=\"/static/1fece97e264625c2f061201b63ad7c16/94f8f/D5F7AF99-8F94-4660-A9CA-1748726FC368.jpg\"\n    style=\"display: block\"\n    target=\"_blank\"\n    rel=\"noopener\"\n  >\n    <span\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\"\n    style=\"padding-bottom: 71.00000000000001%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/jpeg;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\"\n  ></span>\n  <img\n        class=\"gatsby-resp-image-image\"\n        alt=\"Italy loves bicycles (and the Giro woz &#39;ere in 2016!)\"\n        title=\"Italy loves bicycles (and the Giro woz &#39;ere in 2016!)\"\n        src=\"/static/1fece97e264625c2f061201b63ad7c16/4b190/D5F7AF99-8F94-4660-A9CA-1748726FC368.jpg\"\n        srcset=\"/static/1fece97e264625c2f061201b63ad7c16/e07e9/D5F7AF99-8F94-4660-A9CA-1748726FC368.jpg 200w,\n/static/1fece97e264625c2f061201b63ad7c16/066f9/D5F7AF99-8F94-4660-A9CA-1748726FC368.jpg 400w,\n/static/1fece97e264625c2f061201b63ad7c16/4b190/D5F7AF99-8F94-4660-A9CA-1748726FC368.jpg 800w,\n/static/1fece97e264625c2f061201b63ad7c16/e5166/D5F7AF99-8F94-4660-A9CA-1748726FC368.jpg 1200w,\n/static/1fece97e264625c2f061201b63ad7c16/94f8f/D5F7AF99-8F94-4660-A9CA-1748726FC368.jpg 1412w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\n        style=\"width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;vertical-align:middle;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n      />\n  </a>\n    </span></p>","frontmatter":{"date":null,"path":"/journal/178","title":""}}},"pageContext":{}}}
