Brad is in the second fastest group called Cappuccino (the really fast group is Cappuccino Super which is intense). Today they did a long ride, so left an hour earlier than usual.
I borrowed a city bike from the hotel and rode along the waterfront bike path.

Hotels and beach umbrellas as far as the eye can see |

Some hotels have their own patch of sand; sadly ours doesn't but we can get into one for a fee |
Meanwhile Brad and his group were on narrow, winding and steep mountain roads, watching for hazards such as cracks and holes in the pavement. They did a total of 102 kms and from Riccione, which is at sea level, they climbed to an elevation of 1293 meters.

Today's route for B's group; it's posted every evening above the signup sheet in the bike room |

The rest of the group waits while the flat tire is fixed |
