FINAL Day 19 of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : Casalbordino -> San Salvo (the last 35 km - mostly on the fantastic cycle path "Via Verde della Costa dei Trabocchi" which stops here; further South there are only roads with heavy #traffic ).
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Day 14 of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : Fano -> Ancona (54 km along the #coast – it's a pity that the #CyclePath north of #Ancona is still not extended and you're forced to ride into the #city on a four-lane #road with heavy truck and car #traffic )
