Trento to Treviso is just a short trip so we arrived early enough at our 2 bedroomed apartment to settle in and go shopping before TdF started on the TV. The apartment was one we used last year and given the humid weather we experienced both last year and again this year, made full use of the AC they had in all rooms.
On Tuesday we did a quick return trip to Feltre to pick up some Zipp 202 wheels Alex had ordered online. He’d seen them at a really good price, thought about it for a day and then when he returned to the page found them reduced even further!
As we knew the area from last year the next days we were out and about putting in flat kms. For me play time was over and I now had to address speed and cadence issues in my training…ugh, sob! The rides were about 50, then 70 then 100km long.

This area during WW1 was the site of many many battles between the armies Italy and the Austro- Hungarian empire and consequently many of the places names are associated with those days and there are many memorials. The River Piave was critical during that period.

| I wasn't sure if this was a memorial or just a cross |
On Friday we picked up my sister from Treviso airport and on Saturday we decamped to Feltre.
