2° Day – From Bologna to Chioggia

Saturday, October 21, 2023 – the second day of the journey.

After a hearty breakfast at the BB Posada, we set off towards Chioggia (VE). After yesterday’s heavy rain, today we finally found the sun and a pleasantly mild temperature of around 22°C. After the first 50 kilometers, we reached Ferrara, a city known for its cyclist-friendly policies, which wasn’t entirely true. Nevertheless, from there, we took the “Ciclovia del Vento” (which goes from Venice to Turin). It’s well-organized with excellent road conditions, and it guided us all the way to our destination. Perhaps it’s the season, particularly warm this year, but we had plenty of company from tiny flies throughout the journey, which was a bit of a nuisance. However, that certainly wasn’t enough to slow us down!
