All pedals on
Pedals on, fitted and adjusted bikes, and it was off to Lucca. The most harrowing part of each ride is getting down the ¼ mile dirt road, which is slick and a bit muddy from all of the rain. Once on pavement it’s a downhill ride into Lucca – about 20-25 mins. OUr bike guru and guide Paulodina took us climbing through rain forest-like vegetation. You can feel and smell the fertility of the region, oozing olive and garlic aromas, plus the sweet fragrances of everything that’s blooming. Small country roads, through tiny lanes, past immense villas with rustic colors and many years of history.
Gotta love these roads
Café and of course more bread, salami, proscuito, cheese for lunch. Can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing!
