Strada Vary - Outskirts of Modena - August 28th

They have done it again. Ungraded the road to highway status 8 kms outside of Modena, which means no bikes. But without giving an alternative route. So I mosey around and eventually flag down a lady and family in her car. She is lovely.

'No, I can't use the new road. It's difficult to find another way. I need to head over there. She's heard of a new cycle route but doesn't know where it is.'

So I follow her general directions and eventually find a cycle path, but I wasn't meant to.

They should have a big sign saying "Bicycle Gateway to Central Modena, Brought to you by 4 EU grants: one to build it, one for the Mafia, one for the cost overun and one for the signage". Except that the last part wasn't spent, at least not on what it was meant for.
