Day 1 of the Via Francigena (55km)

October8

55km / 3 hours 8 minutes / 565m gain

I dropped my backpack off at the car, and I was off. It was an amazing ride. It was 90% dedicated bike path through the valleys as I left the alps. On my left was a rushing mountain river, and the trees were turning different colors everywhere I looked. I stopped at a 14th-century castle and climbed through the ruins near the midpoint. I saw a lot of castle ruins overlooking this historic route (following an old Roman road).

I ended the day with a glass of wine and a multi-course tasting menu at a local restaurant (near my B&B). I finished the latest book in the Bobiverse series, which is some fantastic science fiction.

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
