54 miles and 331 metres climbed.
To avoid the busy roads and tunnels along lake Garda we took a. 2.5 hour ferry trip down lake Garda to the town of Garda where our bikes were waiting.
We had a steep climb out of Garda which was 15% in parts. Our route took us to Verona where we had the option of bypassing or going to through the centre. We chose the centre and crossed the Castelvecchio Bridge,
to enter the city,
To the magnificent amphitheatre.
The road surfaces are becoming very poor on the run in to Mantova. A beautiful city with interesting architecture – and a classic car rally taking place.
A fine end to the day.
