Tuscany '06
August 5th to 19th

 

 

Hello all and thank you for joining me on my Italian trip. The main goal of the trip was two week ride of Tuscany. I also had the opportunity to fly in a week early to tour Venice and Cinque Terre. After the two week bike tour, I spent a couple of days in Rome.

During the trip I kept a daily log each day. Included are descriptions, photos and trip maps. To see these click on "Daily Ride Log" below. I also had a digital camera, so I took waaay too many photos. For these, click on "Daily Photos". I also had a new toy with me, a GPS logger. As we rode, this device would record our coordinates. After the ride, I was able to feed the recorded values into Google Earth and re-fly the route. Click on "Daily Ride Fly Through" to get a feeling of our daily routes.
