Day 7 Solico to Lecco

A short day with only a 29 mile ride down the eastern side of Lake Como from our overnight stop at Solico to Lecco where we should be based for a couple of nights at least.  Following the torrential rain which had lasted some 15 hours until about 7 this morning, the rest of the day has been a pure delight with very warm sun and no wind. We had a very leisurely morning indulging in Smith’s delight of coffee in little cups at the small camp cafeteria - 

– mainly though in an attempt to try to get some of the washing and their riding kit dry.  We eventually left the campsite just before 12. 

A short drive took us to their start point at the small town of Colico -

The northern part of the trip down the lake was a pure delight with the road fairly quiet and well provided with spots for me to stop the van, although these became non-existent the nearer to Lecco I traveled.  

For the cyclists there were even more photographic opportunities and I will post as many of their pictures as I can when downloaded.  For now I include a few of the many I took but more are likely to follow.

 The last two are our campsite at Lecco.
