 The tour has been performed with a Stambek 29 front suspended MTB in steel (tyres 2.2) with rear panniers and handlebar bags.

Also Off road piece of stretches have been done (when they were indicated as possible to be used for bike).

The Eurovelo 5 is also nicknamed "Ciclofrancigena del sud" since follows the via Appia and it may be considered as a possible track used in the middle age from the pilgrim toward Gerusalemme.

The entire tour from Rome to Leuca Lecce (performed summer 2015) is devided into 3 parts:

1. From Rome to Benevento (this track). I take inspiration from the Eurovelo5 that was done by FIAB during Bicistaffetta 2014 from Benevento to Rome. I customised it to my needs. 5 days.

2. from Benevento  to Brindisi: this part has been cicled together with FIAB Bicistaffetta 2015. It has been done trying to identify the most suitable Eurovelo5 path. Off road road have been done. Just in very few cases it is needed to get off the bike (No cases with if you have MTB VTT BTT). For sure this track will be subject to change in the future (especially to get into Taranto). See for reference official sites of Eurovelo and Bicitalia.

3. Just to finish a I followed the coast following  both paved road and Off Road. End of tour in Lecce. Many other posibilities may be taken.  (Avoid Galatina Lecce road ) but go in Galatina to see Santa caterina church). Avoid to do this trip in Agoust!!!!) 

Hint: After a  Rome tour the ancient Appia is taken to exit. After Castel Gandolfo I wento toward velletri through Appia Nuova. Could be better to go to Nemi and then  Carchitti to arrive to palestrina and then continue.
