A cycling club week in Tuscany
Six nights in a Tuscan villa for a 22-member cycling club, with guided rides for two ability levels, a support van and a pasta class.
Sample itineraryClub trips work best when the club's organizer doesn't become the travel agent. Each member registers and pays for themselves, picks their riding group and bike size, and the organizer sees who's in, who's paid and who's still deciding.
Highlights
- A whole villa for the club, with a cook for two of the dinners
- Guided rides at two paces every day, with a support van
- A pasta-making class and a winery lunch on the rest day
The plan
- Saturday
Arrive in Florence
A transfer from Florence to the villa, bike fittings in the courtyard and a long dinner outside.
- Sunday–Tuesday
Riding the white roads
Daily rides on the gravel roads of Chianti and the Val d'Orcia, with a short and a long route each day.
- Wednesday
Rest day
A pasta class in the morning and lunch at a winery.
- Thursday–Friday
Hill towns
Rides to Montalcino and Pienza, with the van carrying lunch and anyone who's had enough.
This is a sample itinerary that shows how we plan this kind of trip. Photos are illustrative. Every celebration we plan is built around your group, your dates and your budget.
