Day 6: made the classic traveling in Italy mistake of arriving in a village hungry at 13:30, having passed multiple restaurants on a descent, having forgotten this thing called siesta. Even fucking Spar closes in the afternoon :D
But I was lucky to get to a place where they were willing to serve me spaghetti before closing \o/

Day 6: managed to start early before the Plöckenpass gets motorcycle infested, but the long rough steep “gravel” climb to Rif. Marinelli in 30C+ heat killed me and was considering giving up. Fun descent, then the siesta incident, “dip” in the river (too cold to submerge) and the pleasant surprise of the next climb is fresh Champagne gravel (with a punishing chunky loose part at the end)! Sleeping in Rifugio Sorgenti del Piave. #BikePacking #Italy #ChampagneGravel
