Thursday July 13th, Casalbordino to San Severo
Not the best breakfast In the world , but here we go full steam ahead (FSH) into the inferno, temperatures expected to reach 38 degrees today, was getting hot as we set off. To be honest it felt like I have never riden my trusty old surly, before, like riding through treacle but was thankful that we all felt the same way after the first coffee, the text predicted came out “coffin ” think that might have been more appropriate.
But with a bit of extra sugar in the body the puppies got rolling, as the temperature increased, no hills just constant exposure to the sunshine, something we was looking for last week, love it!
Though we needed to keep our water topped up, stopped at any convenient place, and getting a cheeky ice cream was how we carried on, just a bit of endurance training, it was difficult grinding out the miles but super athletes always have a goal, mine was an ice cold beer ASAP. Just keep the pedals rolling.
Stopped for lunch in the deserted village Lesinna , managed to find a bar open, that served food happy days, the young lad behind the bar spoke excellent English, was planning to have a trip to Leicester later in the year, also had aspirations to become a F1 driver, currently was racing karts. Excellent food as well, dished up with local beer
As it was so hot, decided to cut the day a bit short, Bingo booked up a place to stay about 15 miles away, just off the route, so here we go again, fueled with pasta and local beer, perfect.
Cycling through the little lanes past vast quarries, extracting Apricenca stones.
Finally arrived at the digs, we were the only residents /patients, lovely rambling mansion place, excellent hospitality, especially as Bingo got the generator fired up, they were so pleased! (an Agritourismo!)
Nice local authentic meal, no menu just as it comes, another good stop.
House Rides 
Hope you’re using plenty of sun cream when you stop for ice cream good day xx
