A good stage in the Giro today and also looking forward to Stage 10 on Tuesday which passes through Roseto degli Abruzzo where I have stayed for a couple of cycling holidays over the last few years.
It's a great place to base yourself. I was 100 metres from the sea so I would walk my wife to the typical italian beach (all white sand and rows and rows of perfectly aligned matching umbrellas) in the morning and then head off on a rental bike into the mountains. Easy enough to get up to 1,000m altitude within 30km from the beach and then back down literally to sea level to dip your toes in the Adriatic, collect the wife and grab some lunch together.
