I meandered out from under the bridge in the foggy morning. I waited a bit for the day to wake up at a small local cafe, then I headed up Passo San Baldo to transit into the Venitian lowlands.
Passo San Baldo was a brief and pleasant climb compared to the hour plus passes from two days earlier. At the top there seemed to be a steady stream of cyclists coming up the other direction and turning around. I waited briefly at a traffic light and then descended into the unique, WWI switchback tunnels. Grabbing glimpses of the approaching plains between each hooded hairpin. I decided to save my energy to enjoy my evening in Venice, so cycled through the "UNESCO World Heritage" Prosecco region and unwound in Conegliano waiting for a train. I had a pleasant lunch in a medieval plaza next to some other Sunday cyclists enjoying wine and conversation.
