Tuscany Cycling Itinerary
Visiting Tuscany is ideal for cycling and for being alive! Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of man and nature, and often by the combined efforts of both. Cycling the rolling hills with a few lengthy accents and mesmerized by the beautiful descents your cycling experience with Eurovelo Tours will be forever fondly remembered.
Eurovelo Tours has arranged for a 2 day, 1 night, fully supported cycling excursion Tuscany region. Tuscany is a scene of extraordinary beauty that instills quiet and expands the spirit.
Eurovelo Tours has arranged an outstanding evening at our resting place where you will be spoiled by a spectacular dinner. The evening will be highlighted by stories of the days cycling over plenty of vino and new friendships. Each day the rides will encompass a distance of approximately 130kms through this magnificent region.
|
P.B.
The Tuscany portion of the Tour will not have 4 distinct groups. For this 2 day Tour there will be 1 group. The speed of this group will be, on average, approximately 18-21km/hr. If any cyclists become fatigued or feels the pace is too challenging, they can ride in the support vehicle for any portion of the route. In the event that Eurovelo Tours feels a cyclist is restricting the group, then we will request the cyclist ride in the support vehicle. Eurovelo Tour's objective is to ensure all cyclists enjoy and complete the distance safely.
