The Italians will tell you Tuscany is a special place. Indeed, there’s no other region in Italy comparable for sheer beauty, Italian food and friendly people. Our trip takes in the best of what Tuscany offers avid cyclists. Starting in the hilly Chianti countryside just north of Siena, we’ll make our way through vineyards, forests and portions of L’Eroica course finishing near the slopes of Monte Amiato and the Brunello wine region.
The Rides. What Tuscany lacks in pitched mountain passes it more than makes up for in demanding rolling terrain. The rides are designed for endurance cyclists who crave short little pitches, twisting fun descents and at least 50-70 miles in the saddle daily. We’ll stop along the way for refueling on Italian espressos, lunch and, of course, the usual goodies in the van.
The Ride Strong Style.
The tour is designed with an obsessive tendency towards the most well-designed routes, multiple nights in one-of-a-kind hotels, authentic cuisine and, yes, loads of riding. We’ll operate our tour similar to our signature tours with knowledgeable local guides, cycling roughly 50-70 miles/day, eating well and sleeping even better! This is a guided, supported and well-designed trip, however, we can’t push your pedals. To enjoy this tour you should be a cyclist capable of riding the daily distances on undulating terrain.
