Route
After limbering up in Lucca, we set off to explore the surrounding hills with their olive groves and vineyards. We also tackle the challenging Monte Serra, travelling through forests and valleys to reach the wild spaces of the Apuan Alps.
The tour will take us past ancient churches and classic villas, through medieval villages and on languid rides which hug the Serchio river. Our routes include a nice balance of gentle, scenic rides and harder cycling challenges – topped up with amazing dining.
