A lovely, relaxed few hours guided by Jacopo. The E-bikes were in extremely good condition, comfortable and easy to ride (I am a cyclist but it was my first time on an electric bike). It was also really reassuring to have Orazio riding behind the group and stopping traffic where necessary so that we could cross the roads easily. That said, most of the riding was along very quiet country lanes amongst olive groves. It's by far the best way to see the countryside.
The highlight was our stop at Stefano's house - a delightful 91 year old who shared wine and foccacia with us and showed us around his trullo home. It was a very authentic experience.
Unfortunately the weather was against us and we got caught in the rain on the way back - but I'm so glad we went despite the weather - it would have been a great shame to miss such an enjoyable experience. Thank you Jacopo and Orazio!
