Rome 2 Home – Day 5
Hi All,
Good day today. A nice ride with a good group. 64 miles covered over pretty flat roads. the only real problem today has been the wind. We have been going into a 25 mph head wind all day. We still managed to get an average of 17 mph, so covered the ground well.

We then have 6 hours (ish) on the ferry, so hopefully it will be the pub for us:)
Good night
