Tucked away between the Apennines and the Apuan Alps, the rugged region of Garfagnana is a part of Tuscany that is definitely off the main tourist track. From our comfortable farmhouse base, complete with pool, we explore some of the finest road biking in Europe. Using the minor roads which link the region’s small picturesque villages wherever possible the emphasis is experiencing the best local roads without the duplication of roads that can affect some centre based biking trips. A backdrop of dramatic mountain scenery and fine Italian cooking add to the appeal of this tasty Tuscan treat. Exhilarating biking by day and chilling out in comfort après ride gives this trip a very unique and special quality that discerning bikers will find very appealing. The hilly nature of this trip also makes this trip an ideal preparation week for your next cyclo sportive event.

ROAD ADVENTURE
Our aim when setting up this trip was to seek out the best and most varied roads in the Apennine and Alpi Apuane region of Tuscany. To achieve this we recruited the help of experienced, local riders to provide the best biking experience. The resulting trip is aimed at regular cyclists who are looking for challenging days on the bike and also a strong cultural experience. It is not a suitable trip for beginners. Some of the climbs are quite long and many of the descents are fast and twisty. Apart from the regular kit you would take on any day ride you will not be required to carry any luggage. Average 100km /62 miles per day.
