Story of my ride: cycling – Vigolo to Lago d’Iseo, Beer O’Clock without beer (Visiting Italy series)

An afternoon on the bike in Italy. From Vigolo to Sarnico. Short but oh-so sweet. A great taste of cycling somewhere entirely new – for me, of course. There was meant to be more riding during my Italian adventure but things didn’t always work out. When things did go well, as was the case for four days spent nearby Lago d’Iseo in June, the cycling offered much more than sightseeing and exercise.
Join me for a ride at beer o’clock. My notes to self include: “cycling is better than drinking booze”. It’s a theme, of sorts, that developed during a dialogue with myself that I’m sharing with you…
