In the itinerary, today was supposed to include a climb up the side of Monte Baldo, but when we arrived, we were informed that we were skipping it, sticking to a flat ride on bike paths all day. Late start, and lots of stops as everyone got in the swing of things. Very hot again.
I decided to break away and do the original climb, and was joined by one other from our group of 9 riders. It was almost noon by the time we finally got on the hill, hottest part of the day for the climb. Long difficult climb; after one extended section of 12%, we reached a sign that said 19% for the next section!
Didn't arrive at the hotel until 5:00, so a tiring day in the saddle.
