Orange Millthorpe2
It's a tough 2nd half after leaving Millthorpe and onto Long Swamp Rd. Well worth it if you find your climbing legs.

Take the train from Siena to Poggibonsi. San Gimignano interesting but packed with tourists.

Use the old highway after Cancellara; turn left before highway. A fast run, keep straight onto Casetta then Arbia. You'll enjoy the fast, easy ride after doing the 11km Cancellara sector.
Siena Strade Lite2
Made to the Cancellara Sector. Recommend you use a gravel bike, 48/30 and 11/34 ideal. You will use it.

Early autumn head out east to wetlands. Will have morning sun in eyes forva little while, but you turn west you have the sun behind you.

This is a great easy ride. Use the General Store at Gladstone for re-fueling; the burger is value for money.

Steady climb from Applebank Pub up to Glassford. Will clear any cobwebs. Have your climbing legs on.
There's a bus shelter in Netherton if you get caught in a shower. You may see a rainbow too.

It's a good ride but recommend heading back to Stromlo after doing Dairy Farmer Hill. Molonglo roads ok but car traffic on the heavy side. Best avoided.

Outward mostly on hard-pack gravel; fast minor roads on way back. Car drivers respect cyclists 👍😄
