Adam

From London, to Oxford, to North Carolina, to Boston and now finally to Firenze. I studied biochemistry at Uni, worked in drug discovery, and then opened a cheese shop, with a focus on real cheese & microbiology.

When I can, I ride my bike everywhere, and backpack in my spare moments.

Say no to cars and embrace two wheels, mass transit and your own two feet.

Most of Strade Bianche Gran Fondo

The good bits at least! It rained in Siena last night, so the gravel was a bit soft, but otherwise rode pretty well. However I was glad I had 40 mm tires. I hit most of the special sections: Monte Sante Marie, Tolfe, MonteAperti. Only one bad Komoot reroute, which took e me through a muddy field. I then took half of that muddy field up Monte Sante Marie. Thanks! I had decided to skip Santa Catarina, which was a good call, since I was exhausted at this point!
