Over time the various changes to our route and schedule had resulted in a sequence of riding days that do not allow for rest days. This sequence, (Sansepolcro to Ponte Valleceppi, Todi, Narni, Vasche, L'Aquila, Sulmona) is not what I wanted. I can't shift the starting date, I don't want to shift the ending date, so the only possibilities for change are to ride some longer days or to "skip" a day of riding.
The latter is what we collectively have decided is best. So that will mean that we will have two nights in Narni, skip Vasche and instead jump ahead by train to L'Aquila. The route from Narni to L'Aquila was never a highlight of the route and this will give us a free day in Narni which could be used to relax or to visit the cascades at Marmore.
After the rest day, the plan will be:
- Ride down the hill to Narni Scalo (less than 5km). The railway station is Narni-Amelia.
- Take the regional train to Terni (about ten minutes).
- Take the regional train to L'Aquila (about two hours).
- Ride a couple of kilometers from L'Aquila station to our accommodation.
