Stage 15 – Perugia to Peivebogliana

85 km distance

5:40 to complete

1640 meters climbed

Very hard day – had to dig deep – almost cried when I realized two of the climbs had high gradient but I did it.

Rough roads – had to get off bike on the descents.

Remote and beautiful region.

A wonderful descent towards the end on paved roads.

Bikes were extremely muddy and Peter found a hose to clean them.

Nice hotel with a restaurant attached.

I found a place to buy a water bottle – not perfect but fits in my cage. Peter lost his as well.

We head out again – another hard day expected on the bike. Rain is expected in the forecast which we hope to avoid.

Thankfully had a pretty good sleep

Passed by Assisi – stunning to see even from a distance
Had us on a side road on top to avoid traffic at the bottom
Very hard trail for a km frustrating on a road bike
I’m coming slowly
Beautiful evening light on the appennine mountains
