I can't believe we missed the Giro!

By 15 minutes…we were so close. The Giro de Italia – the Tour de France of Italy. Passing right through Pontadera, about a 45 minute bike ride from the villa. Planned to ride over early but it was raining again. Decided to leave villa about noon in a light rain. 3 flats enroute.

When we reached Pontadera the riders had passed through 15 mins earlier. Damn!

But hey we got Doug in his new kit. A Giro wannabe!

WOW!!

And got to ride in the rain. Discovered some new roads and savored chocolate cauldo y apricot crepes. And Camile and Gwen changed their flat after searching out a bike shop to secure tubes, tire irons and a pump.

Amazing roads of Tuscany

Another day of adventure in Tuscany with friends, good wine and great food!

Another evening with la familia
