Bergamo ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น - Final day

 We awoke this morning with mixed weather forecast but decided to head out on our bikes for our last day.  We set off for local bike paths that were gravel.  Through some lovely parks but hard going on the thick gravel.



So we don't he'd the paths and headed off for a ride we had wanted to do.  Unfortunately I got a flat tyre but a bit of team.work and we were on the road again.


We headed for a valley we had heard about.  It had some steep sided mountains, lots of water in the stream but was quite an industrial road with lots of gravel and rock factories along the route.  




Lovely waterfall





We followed the valley back to the main road and cycled through some tunnels which offer rockfall and avalanche protection.



Then up the 10km long climb through the Seriana Valle to Selvino, riding up the mountain we had cycled down a few days ago.  The views back to the valleys so much clearer after the rain.  It had some steep.parts and I wasn't sure I would be able to make it, but I did.







We rode back down the switchbacks and then on our way back to town Mary found a path alongside a rushing canal, full of rushing water from the storms.




We finished with takeaway Pizza from a local restaurant.

It's been a wonderful week away with friends๐Ÿ˜Š
