The last day of bicycle tou
ring began with a foggy, misty morning. Leaving our hotel in Treviso in good time for the last leg, we anticipated a pretty ride along the River Sile heading towards Mestre, the drop off point for our bikes. With only 28 miles to go in this final stage, it seemed like it would be a piece of cake. Before we had even left town, though, I rounded the corner of a building to find another person on a bike right in front of me. We both gasped, dodged a little bit, and continued on our way. However, it did remind me that I needed to be careful even still.
As we cycled along this last stretch, the surroundings began to look more and more Venetian. There were canal like waterways with swans, herons, egrets, ducks, seagulls and other birds. The buildings themselves began to take interesting shapes with whimsical colors. We passed this colorful dwelling along the way.
Just about lunch time, we locked the bikes for the last time. Trusty #43 had carried me safely all the way to the end.

Wow, Glad that close call was just that and nothing more. I expect trusty #43 had already had it's share of close encounters and survived to take you on your memorable trip. We thank God.
