Hi
Can't help with the Venice end, but you might find something of use here? (the Tuscany, Umbria, Marche bits). http://www.a-nelson.bikeit.elipse.co.uk/index.htm Hope it helps. Cheers... Allan.

Italy Venice South
KWN
Last September my wife and I biked from Venice to Lucca, which is west of Florence. We biked south down the Lido which is the island just east of Venice (took two Ferry rides to get to Chioggia), to Ravenna where we turned west heading to Florence. I do not know where Ancona is. Guess I will have to check the map. We carried our gear and found accomadations as we went. We had a great time. This year we are headed to Provence and would love to get info from people that have done that. Email me at (different then this address) if you want details. GLH |

I want to go to Ancona, tho not necessarily directly. tks I rode from Venice south to Ancona many, many years ago, when I was young and not as wise about choosing my routes. I went inland to Bologna, then to Ravenna and south along the Adriatic coast, a very flat route if you look at a topo map. If I had it to do over again, I would bike south from Bologna into the hills of Umbria. To be fair, it was early November, and it might have been quite a bit chillier in the hills. Bologna is a nice town, and Ravenna has some attractions, but the Adriatic coast south of Ravenna was pretty sad in early November. Crossing the Po River delta south of Venice was also pretty boring, as I recall. I was trying to catch a ferry departing from Ancona, so I had a tight schedule. Turned out the boat was running about 4 days late! |

Italy Venice South
I am from Italy and although I have never ridden the Adriatic coast I
know bits and pieces of it from long gone holidays. My suggestion is to get a good map and unless you like riding in traffic try to avoid the coast as it will be very busy. I am sure there are plenty of alternative inland although this means the road will be more hilly. Your ride should be flat from Venice to the end of Emilia Romagna, after that in Marche region it gets pretty hilly inland. Good luck with the trip. Go to the tours section of cyclingtheworld to see if you can find anyone who has done a similar trip http://www.cyclingtheworld.org Gianni -------------------------- visit www.cyclingtheworld.org "BP2" wrote in message ...
