A short tour today, limit of 1-1/2 hours, as we had the grandchildren all day and I escaped for a little while they watched the first movie of the afternoon. We really had a super nice day with the nicotini, swam a couple of times in the pool, played some soccer, and generally had a wonderful day. Viola is really swimming now which is great to see. Torrio is his super energetic self, although that seems to be calming down, which is welcome. I had a short window to ride, and felt good enough with the area that I linked a couple of favorites and had an excellent tour. I started by climbing to Mastiano, then descending to Aquilea then Ponte a Moriano for the first sweet portion of the ride. Just and excellent, beautiful road and scenery. I rode up the Ponte a Moriano road, a relatively main road to the turn for the Brancoli villages, then cut off toward Pieve a Brancoli, which gives you a little more climbing before an awesome descent. I really loved the descent when I did it before, and today was even better. From the base of the descent, back home on the main roads for an excellent short tour. The garmin link:

Looking back toward the Morianese area from the road just
past Mastiano. I love this area so close to where we are staying.
What a beautiful little church on the descent from Pieve di Brancoli.
