cycling Italy
I am planning a holiday in Italy in 2006. Travelling in the areas of Trieste/Cinque terre/tuscany. I would like to stay at a variety of destinations in these areas for up to a week in each and do day/overnight cycling from a base. I would be interested in to hear from others who have done a similar thing, especially with a lone female focus.
Thanks |

We cycled through Tuscany & Umbria in 2004. Have a look at www.nickcoyne.com/eur04/ for a few notes. |

In 2003 I was on a cycling tour of Tuscany with Cyclismo Classico. Recommend the Park Hotel in Volterra - great views, pool and good base from which to see greater Tuscany. |

Re: cycling Italy
Hi,
What you describe is something I would be very interested in doing during my tour. I would be grateful for any of the maps or pictures you have of your experience. Information regarding the B&B's would also be appreciated if that is possible. Thanks Quote:

I'm out this week but i'think this saturday i'can serarch file of maps pics and link of tourism office. My tour was only in province of Siena but landscape and territory was very different in in a limited area so in a week ve had about 450 500 km tour. Food is good everywhere often not cheap wine is interesting. Important mountain bike is a good choice often is possible found no asphalted road. |
