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 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.
