Last day of riding! This was our Friday, everyone decided to do the long loop at 60 miles total! After a couple hours of riding we had a side trip to some hot springs, which were amazing! We all wished we had more time there to relax, but we still had a really long way to go before we hit the coast. A few good sized hills today. I was so happy to see the ocean finally! And a last short but steep hill towards the end of the day. We rode over a giant sand bar (on super packed dirt) through a forest to get out onto the little island where Porto Ercole is located. We dipped our front tires in the Mediterranean for a picture, had a quick beer then headed to the hotel. Then we went down to the beach for a quick swim, which ended up a lot quicker than we thought because it was super cold! We had our last dinner together in the hotel, which was great but everyone was pretty tired. Coast to coast, almost 450 miles total! (That seems crazy because I only have about 700 miles on my bike, and I've had it since July.) Now we know what REAL road biking is!
