Basilicata coast-to-coast: my own version

Two and a half days, 192 km, climbing for 4120 m , a mix of simple but intense emotions that grew up inside me during my first solo trip from the coast of the Ionian Sea, precisely from Policoro (MT), to the Tyrrhenian coast, to Maratea (PZ).

It is my first experience of traveling by bicycle and I have chosen the route taking care to limit, as much as possible, the percentage of the slopes of the climbs included in it: I have collected each checkpoints, altimetric data and the distances from each town I went through.

Three days, several gpx tracks and a short story that I hope will inspire you too to discover Basilicata: a beautiful land.
