Cycling in Tuscany is beautiful, incredibly beautiful. There are rolling slopes. We have created several routes per day, so that you can choose according to how far and how much altitude you want on the different days. The routes lead us along beautiful roads and we reach restaurants and cafes at a reasonable distance. Most of the time, the routes are created so that you converge for lunch regardless of which route you choose. Our companion car is there if something goes wrong with your bike or yourself, a great security.

Day 4 Wednesday 9 October
Rest day!
If you want to cycle, of course it's great, but it turns out to be quite wise to take a rest day. Maybe we take a trip to the sea, visit Siena or hang out at the vineyard and enjoy the tranquility?
Day 5 Thursday 10 October (72 km / 1,200 hm)
Världens bästa transport cykling! Eroica och Strade Bianchi, otroligt fint. Samtidigt som vi får en grym dag i sadeln så transporteras allt vårt bagage ner till nästa boende i San Quirico d’Orcia. Om ben eller annat är trasigt går det fint åka med i bilen. Väl på plats installerar vi oss, kanske firar med en öl och äter middag.
Day 6 Friday 11 October (57 -96 km / 744 -1860 hm)
The white gravel! We pass many classic resorts, there are many ways to shorten the trip if you want, we use again several stretches from Eroica and Strade Bianchi. Maybe time to set a KOM?

Bonus day. As the flight leaves in the evening, if you want, you can use the day for extra cycling, or just enjoy the pool and the city.
The bus arrives at 14, so of course bikes and bags must be packed by then.
