In Tuscany you can also discover art, culture, or simply enjoy the nature by
riding a bike. If you are a keen cyclist as I am, I would be pleased to take you
on a bike tours. This region with its variety of roads and great landscapes
offer a lot of opportunity for cyclists. I have worked out some routes to fit everyones capabilities, ranging between
20-140 kilometers of lenght ( 12-80 mile)
on mostly paved level roads,although more demanding routes are possible,each
route being connected with a particular aspect of the territory (Nature, History
etc).
The tours will be operated in different areas:The famous Chianti, with
its rolling slopes, farmhouses, and vineyards;The Val di Cornia, an area
near the coast, with its several natural parks to visit,cradle of the etruscan
civilization and its interesting necropolis.The Maremma, an area to the
south of Tuscany,and its unspoiled nature,to mention a few.
During the tours a stop will be made to get refreshed and eat a light lunch in a
winery or family run 'trattoria' The tours are one day long,(longer tours are
possible on request), start and finish on the requested spot;a minivan fitted
with a bike carrier will take you on the starting point and pick you up at the end,
and will be at your disposal all the tour long.
The english speaking guide will ride with you at your pace and give you
information and assistance. You can take the tours with yours own bikes;
otherwise I can provide you with a premium road or mountain bike, the right size
to fit you, with aluminium frame and 24 speed to tackle every slopes. Helmets
and water bottle will be provided as well
