Got profoundly lost on the 1km journey from the train station to my accommodation (whoops) but I found it.
The late start meant I didn't head out riding until the afternoon and wow, it was hot. Sizzling, melting, sweltering - I did all of those things on my way up my first hill of the journey... about 60kms of riding today but enough to get started.
Struck by how friendly people are and how much of a cycling mecca this really is - a stranger rode 3km with me to show me the way to a sports store to buy some supplies (chamois cream if you must know - mine was confiscated getting through Stansted security) ;)
Looking to the hills behind Lecco
After sweating my way up the hill, I was rewarded with meringue and gatorade.
And this view. Church handy for a short prayer for the descent down (Potholes galore = sketchy as, Bro!)
