1000 miles each way, across the Alps. And Italy is scorching hot in July these days. And yes, worth going if you have never been. Don't go on a non Ducati.
Went through the Alps this July on way to Jajce it got up to 38C. I wasn’t on the Pani. That would have been suicidal.
It’s a fair way. Ridden to Mugello before and driven to Misano. So planning doing this over two weeks with WDW in the middle.
I’ve been a few times. A van with bikes in the back is best I reckon. Interested in sharing costs if anyone else is up for it.
Do you have accommodation sorted? Yesterday I was contacted by some old mates and picked-up the final room in a batch of 4 that they booked at the Mon Cheri in Riccione. They may have space for my bike in one of their vans … should know in the next week or two. Let’s keep each other updated.
If you fancy an alternative to a hotel in town and you'd like to ride through the Italian countryside... I can recommend this campsite. It's owned and operated by 2 Dutch celebrity chefs, so the food is excellent. They have a variety of glamping type tents, static caravans... The ride to Rimini is through Tavullia (home of Rossi), with lovely twisty roads. https://podereseipoorte.it/en/ Happy travels
I rode there in 2022, the heat was unbearable. If I go again, I’d fly there and rent a scooter, or just walk everywhere and get pissed all day.
