Review of the route

 By now you will know that I didn't end up riding much of the route because of COVID. So my reporting on the route is mostly second hand. Maybe one of the riders will step up and expand on my comments below.

First of all, the overall route was a success! As far as I know there were only three small defects, one of which seems to be a recent road closure and one of which was a temporary road closure. I'll describe each of them below.

Second, the route was entirely suitable for ebikes. Despite some range anxiety, there were probably only three days where a top-up charge was required. In each case this was readily available at restaurants along the route. Ebikes are common enough now that "plugging in" is normal.

Third, Italian drivers lived up to my expectations in terms of safety and courtesy. Very, very few close passes, no abuse, plenty of patience. Even Rome felt relatively safe and there are far more bikes on the streets now than there were in previous visits.

From Galeata to Sansepolcro.  On this section, use the larger road instead. The minor road becomes a gravel road, then a track, then blackberries and nettles. We had to push our bikes uphill across a field to regain the road.

DO stop for refuelling at San Piero in Bagno, it is a fair climb to the next shop at Verghereto. Then at Montecoronaro we had elected to use a section of road marked as closed. It is perfectly fine and there were other groups of cyclists using it. No cars made it a really fun descent. This might change in future but I doubt it.

After this my reports are second hand... I'll just report the defects as I understand them.

Keith: From L'Aquila to Sulmona: near Fossa, about 13km out, the planned route cut between some buildings but the road had been since blocked off as a construction site. We tried the side road to the right towards Fossa but it was narrow and hard, so we went back and went around to left.

Google Street View shows Via Della Stazione going between buildings. That was blocked off, where truck is  

From Colli a Volturno to Benevento. A bridge is closed. Have to stay on the main road instead. I think this is the spot.

Keith: It was a gate closing off the dam wall. Komoot had warned road closed :-)

I rode down a dirt path to the Molise river below dam wall but assessed it as too deep and fast to walk or ride through. We rode back past Molise Rafting again.

From Accadia to Lavello. A temporary road closure, not sure where it is... Keith?

Keith: At about 11km out.

Looked like they were burning off, but it may have been the bridge that was undergoing repairs... we saw a bridge further down same river was closed, being repaired.
