October 30, 2022,Strade Bianche, Tuscan gravel paradise 🇮🇹
The famous Crete Sinese, known for the Strade Bianche race, which graces the cycling calendar every March. I had been in this area once before, on my bike to Rome in 2015. At the time, the route was on asphalt, but I looked around me eagerly at all those beautiful gravel roads that I was not driving at the time.

I've cycled the famous white Tuscan gravel roads many times before, but now I'm tackling them with my heavily loaded mountain bike, trailer, and two-year-old Nora. Carly is cycling next to me, and as a family, we pedal up the many meters of elevation gain through the famous Crete Senesi south of Siena. It's a warm day with blazing sunshine. …

Tour done with a 29 front mtb with very smooth tires, feasible with gravel even after a rainy day, mainly dirt roads. Small detour to Monteroni d' Arbia for an ice cream.
