What a lovely ride!
We set off at 8:30, mindful of the 16km climb. In the event it wasn't difficult. Grades around 7% for the most part, with cloud cover keeping the temperature down. We stopped a couple of times on the climb for a drink or a photograph but it was just steady going. There were great views back into the Tiber valley.
After the summit it a short coffee stop then it was a fast run down the hill, once again with great views.
We cruised though Badia Tedalda but we were making such good time that we decided to have lunch at Novafeltria. The route followed Fiume Marrechia downstream with some spectacular views.

By the time I got there Novafeltria I was quite sugar depleted so it was lucky that it was mostly gently downhill for the last 10km. We were welcomed at the hotel and tucked straight into lunch.

In the evening we walked around Novafeltria and for dinner had a feed of pizza and red wine... Pretty good.
