🚴‍♀️Escaping the Rain and Turin🚴

5:02 / 61 miles / 1526 ft. Candelo, IT 🇫🇷 It was a super rainy morning in Turin.
We Took the advice of our Warmshower host Oliver and decided to take it easy in the morning and rest for a bit to see if the rain would let up. About 11 AM. The radar looked good, and it seemed like we would have a four hour window without rain. Lisa and I navigated the tricky trails and busy streets out of Turin to finally reach a more peaceful countryside. About 25% of our route was gravel today, and the gravel is nothing like Iowa! Huge potholes filled with water and giant baby head sized rocks. Also, they just throw smashed up bricks into potholes to try to fill them. We dodged puddles, and navigated the flat route to make it to our Airbnb with only stopping for a couple of bathroom breaks and no rain! 😀As we arrived a bit early for check-in at our AirBnB we stopped by a café for a beer and a spritz. We got to talking with the lady who is working there and she recommended the best pizza place in town , as we were talking the owner of the pizza place walked in, and I promised us a reservation at 7 PM. The pizza that evening was the best pizza I ever had, and we also enjoyed some local white wine.Read more
