Strade Bianche

We wanted to go to a winery today. But all the tours were all either too expensive or booked out until August. So instead we caught a bus and hired some bikes and ticked a big one off my (Alfred's) bucket list and rode around Tuscany. The ride and views were glorious, my apologies that the photos don't really do it justice.
Today we join the esteemed company of Pogacar, van Aert, van der Poel and Pidcock when we got off our bikes and walked because the road was too steep. (For those not in the cycling know they are the previous winners of the race Strade Bianche - named for the white gravel that is used on Tuscan back roads. And to explain the joke further, they do not have get off and walk - because they are much faster than we are).
Following the ride we ate a sunset dinner on the water level controll point thing.Weiterlesen
