Tag 5. Civitella M. - Roccastrada - Ribolla - Massa M. - Suvereto - Sassetta

After a visit to the truly spectacular Orcia Valley, I returned the bike in Donoratico. And as it often happens, I poorly planned the last tour and promptly got lost twice. After Ghirlanda, I did not go into Massa Marittima but instead went straight onto the bypass road and immediately found the turnoff to Monte Bamboli. Then it gets really steep. At the top, I was so exhausted that I got lost at an unmarked intersection. I wanted to take the completely paved route over Monte Bamboli to Suvereto, but ended up on a very old path. So after the climb, keep right at the T intersection! In Suvereto, I asked for directions to Sassetta, and the old Signor said that way leads to Sassetta! Hmm, but I come from there?! Unfortunately, I missed the switchbacks to Sassetta. Well, bad luck.
