Day 11. San Casciano del Bagni to near Vitrella

78 miles and 1701 metres climbed.

A day of undulations, some of which were 12% and more dramatic scenery. We entered the area of  workable Tufa rock. Our first big town was Sorano where we saw the first signs of dwellings carved into the rock.

Lunch was taken at the hilltop town of Pitigliano with dramatic views of the road in.

Jeff and John on the way down.

Possibly the toughest day of the tour for me with the long distance and the amount of climbing.
