This seems like a daunting ride, but using an e bike, anyone can enjoy the ride. I thought the ride was going to be Palermo to piana and back, but it was so much more. First off, Sergio was great. Friendly, well prepared and safe. He uses a headset to communicate with all the riders which was a first for me. He explained the history and warned about upcoming hills, traffic, etc. we rode out of Palermo and went up to Monreale. We stopped at the Duomo which was beautiful and extremely ornate. Then rode to the Lago di Piana, took some pictures and then to Piana where we had a “light lunch” followed by cannolis. Light lunch is a huge plate of meats, cheeses, and breads. I wish we only ordered one plate, but man was it delicious. Right up the road we had cannolis made to order and dear lord were they good. We’ve had our fair share of cannoli, but this was next level delicious. Then the ride back into town. What a fantastic ride through the countryside. So much to see, views were amazing. I want to go back and do more cycling in Sicily!!
