The ride begins with the soft rumble of an electric motor and the dry stone walls of the Itria Valley sliding past like chapters in a local story. Riders set out from Cisternino and immediately enter a landscape where trulli roof-lines puncture olive groves and vineyards; the valley’s gentle slopes invite forward motion rather than punishment.
