I woke up early in Vercelli, hoping to cover 250KM to reach Lake Garda, leaving 150KM to get to Venice. This would be, I estimated, the longest cycle I'd ever done, and several people had told me that the route was completely flat from here all the way to Venice. Also, there was a slight west-east tailwind, so I reckoned I could cycle at around 30KMH for most of the day.
I arrived at Lake Garda, perhaps the most beautiful lake in Italy, at about 6pm, having done 243KM. The campsite was rubbish though- stuffed to breaking point with tourists who just stared and stared at my ridiculous tan lines on my arms.
