Sesta e ultima tappa del #Venezia-#Puglia, da Marina di Montenero (di Bisaccia) a San Severo. Fino a Termoli tutto bene, anche se sulla provinciale (molto larga); mare ancora visibile. Poi ci si addentra nell'interno. Nel Foggiano le strade sono terribili, più buche che asfalto. Nessun ciclista.

Quinta tappa #Venezia-#Puglia, da Martinsicuro a Marina di Montenero, in Molise per 100m. Gran parte su ciclabile. Bellissimo il tratto "dei Trabocchi" su ex percorso ferroviario. Interessante ma bigoloso il passaggio vicino a Punta Aderci. Il paesaggio cambia completamente.

Quarta tappa #Venezia-#Puglia, da Senigallia a Martinsicuro. Lunghissima. Doveva essere la tappa "del Conero" (che c'è stato), ma è stata la tappa delle due forature. Per il resto tace spiagge, tanto #mare blu, bellissimo. Alcuni tratti di ciclabile vietati alle bici, alcuni sentieri poco ciclabili.

Terza tappa #Venezia-#Puglia. Ho visto moltissime partite di beach volley, ma nessun punto completo. Tanta ciclabile sulla spiaggia, 1 attraversamento con traghettino, ascesa a #Gradara. Ho pomposamente attraversato il #Rubicone: "dadus tractus est", non torno più indietro!
