Raining, so decide not to do the optional 65 mile loop today!
A late breakfast, some blog catch up, bike fettling, thanks to Alberto, one of our guides, a lot of fiddling with the Garmin with Reece and Bill (tomorrow will tell if it’s fixed), then some bike cleaning and finally some sightseeing in the city.




An enjoyable evening meal with Simon, Bill, Angus, Janet and Jack. Followed by gelatos.

Back on the bike tomorrow heading for San Casciano Del Bagni.
Hi Peter, Nice to catch up with your blog I have been occupied with server and ups problems, four sites moaning that the system constantly crashed. Thanks for the good wishes but our 53 rd anniversary seems to have passed us by. Journey looks fantastic but as I said, I would prefer it on four wheels. Enjoy the rest of the trip xxxx Catherine and Mike xxxx
In one fell swoop, several days of hiking and an “avalanche” of photos. Scenic landscapes and grandiose architectures …. It was really a pity that “Mattéo” spoils all this with his averagous ideas …. !!! Good luck … and, as they say in France: All roads lead to Rome ….
Wonderful photos, scenery amazing, so pleased all going well for you and friends. Enjoy the next days cycling, will look forward to hearing of your adventure on your return . Sue W.
Wow looks amazing, such a variety of scenery and places. Nearly there now, looking forward to hearing all about it. Love Barry and Jean
