68 miles and 1517 metres climbed.
A long tough day, not helped by rain for most of it, some of it very heavy.


We were in the Tuscan Hills where gradients were often above 10% and sometimes 17%, Beautiful scenery but little time to soak it in.



A welcome lunch of salad and pasta at about 35 miles then more rain to the brew stop to change into something dry.
Then into Chianti country.

…. and a reward.


A very wet day.
