We meet in Mira in a authentic historic villa in an enviable idyllic location near Venice but far from the undesired hubbub. During the day we have time to prepare and check over the bikes and have our pre-tour briefing, We then take a ferry into Venice for our first dinner together after a brief stroll and "aperitivo" in Venice.
