An amazing day with the most varied scenery & cycling imaginable in one day. After leaving Mama Shelter we will have the official start at the Vatican.

We leave Gaeta and follow the coastline for the first 30km before heading east, avoiding the congestion & general filth around greater Naples! Another day of outstanding views cycling through the Taburno Camposauro National Park in the morning. Lunch is on a hillside at a family run Agristourismo. The afternoon involves a long steady climb with an ice cream stop.

DAY 3 – SATURDAY 3RD OCTOBER – AVELLINO TO POTENZA – 153KM, 3,069M TOTAL ASCEN
Day 3 is a day to remember and probably the best cycling of all 5 legs so far. As soon as we leave Avellino we start cycling on incredibly quiet roads that continue all day with truly outstanding rural views for the whole day. This is the biggest day of climbing of all the trips so far but is also the most stunning and incredibly peaceful. Lunch is at a locally owned restaurant in the hills.
DAY 4 – 29TH MAY – POTENZA TO BARI – 170KM, 1,704M TOTAL ASCENT
DAY 4 – 29TH MAY – POTENZA TO BARI – 170KM, 1,704M TOTAL ASCENT
Day 4 continues with more beautiful, quiet, undulating roads as we head east towards the coast. The whole area is sparsely populated with far reaching views galore. Lunch is at another agristourismo restaurant in the hills with great views. We then finish with a relatively gentle afternoon before cycling along the coastline into Bari for a celebration dinner in a Square.
