I thought the western shore of the lake would have a lot of annoying traffic, but there was a cycling path pretty much all the way that i rode. It's not for roadies or people in a hurry though, it is a bit meandering, and often shared with pedestrians, people going for a swim as it goes right along the lake shore.

The night before yesterday i did not take a room but a spot on a campsite with great lake view and 20 m walk to the lake. But like i worried, in deed a thunderstorm rolled in in the night. It was so stormy already when it wasn't even raining yet that i abandoned my tent, grabbed most of my stuff and hung out at the sanitary facilities to wait it out. I didn't feel safe in the tent, thought trees or branches could fall onto me. I also was sure that when the heart of the storm arrived, my tent will be gone. I had not set it up in the right direction towards the wind i could not change it anymore in the storm. Luckily when the rain arrived, the wind got weaker and half an hour later i felt fine moving back into my tent, it was still raining, flashing, thundering pretty good but the wind was on non storm levels again. I think the worst of the storm hit a few km left and right of my position, got lucky there. Few of my tent poles got bent by the wind but that was it, had a good rest of the night, tent stayed dry.

Yesterday i took the day off and laid around lazily at the lake all day, going for a swim every now and then. Now i am moving towards the dolomites.

Thank you. I take it you are on the lemmy.world instance too right? Because i figured some of my comments and posts did never show up on bicycles@lemmy.ca, this one included.
