Bikepacking Italy | Day 1: Leaving Bologna Behind

Day 1 of my bikepacking trip across Italy! Back in April, I rolled out of Bologna to start the long ride south toward Rome. The first day was all about navigating out of the city, getting used to the fully loaded bike, and finding the rhythm for the weeks ahead. Not much rolling countryside yet—just the raw start of a 1,600 km journey.
