By the time I woke up in Mantua for the fourth day of a riding, the rhythm of bike-packing life already felt entirely natural. You wake up, pull on the same cycling clothes that have been drying in the cramped hotel bathroom, stuff your already malodorous evening-wear in sausage like saddle bags and launch yourself enthusiastically into the breakfast buffet. Life is simple and calories are, for once, your best friend.

"Build it and they will come" is the motto of many bicycle infrastructure experts. South Tyrol is a prime example of how this works. From Brixen via Klausen, we cycled for hours on well-marked, stress-free cycle paths. We whizzed through long bicycle tunnels that made me howl with joy. We met racing cyclists and e-bike riders, mountain bikers and families with children. The investment has surely paid off. South Tyrol is a cycling paradise. You feel safe. You feel free.

Had we been overly optimistic when we decided to called our bike-packing tour a "Trip Into Spring"? Innsbruck welcomed us at the end of April with a downpour of icy rain. After the early morning train ride from Vienna, we still had 100km and a major mountain pass to negotiate before nightfall. We hesitated under the cover of the station forecourt, but the rain showed no-sign of relenting. Reluctantly we emerged on to the wettened streets of Tyrol’s capital.

The Rubicon river, which Caesar crossed into Cisalpine Gaul in his legendary 49BC gesture of all-chips-in divisiveness, is, rather a modest waterway nowadays. It’s a shallow, grassy banked canal which is lined, on both sides, with arrow-straight, cycle-friendly roads.

"I belong to an unfortunate generation, swung between the old world and the new, and I find myself ill at ease in both.” Don Fabrizio, in Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard, echoing... well everyone from every generation, right?
When you ride from north Tyrol in Austria and cross the Italian border a lot of things get better: the coffee, the weather and the #cycling infrastructure: https://t.co/JcPn9bwIEh https://t.co/I5zPXOgedy
