Buon Giorno

I'm doing my first tour in September and I'm headed to Italy. We're working on the intinerary right now but here's the preliminary cut. There could be a few changes but I think this is a pretty solid working model. Plan is to fly into Milan and circle to Florence and back to Milan.

We're going to do roughly 700 pretty hilly miles in about 13 days of riding. This is my first tour and I'm pretty pumped up. My new touring bike (Trek 520) will be put to the test almost immediately.

Hopefully, I'll be able to do some blogging on the trip to provide some updates.
