G-49 Migliarino Pisano-Viareggio Loop
The wild beauty of these coastal paths is well worth the effort. However, as soon as you cross over to the more civilized side, where profit has replaced nature, the scene becomes distressing. But what compels people to crowd together like sardines? The question remains unanswered.

G-48 Lucca
Linea 6 Bicipolitana from Lucca.
The day started off well. However, after seven kilometers and up to the entrance of the village of Pontasserchio, the path proved particularly unpleasant. Fortunately, the return journey was much more enjoyable.

G-47 Lucca
A magnificent city, renowned for its superb historic ramparts that delight walkers, runners, and cyclists.
Its heritage is remarkable, with an impressive number of churches and monasteries.
Just 650 meters from the city center, on the other side of the railway line, stands a splendid, remarkably well-preserved 4-kilometer aqueduct.
Enjoy…

G-43 Orbetello loop!
A magnificent spring day for cycling around Orbetello!
The only slight downside, distracted at the start, I forgot to turn on Komoot right away.
We headed towards Porto Ercole. From the very first slopes, the incline and the heat started to take their toll on our legs. Fortunately, the views…

While we were in the vicinity of Rome, we decided to take an impromptu tour of the city. We were surprised to discover a huge crowd: the capital was hosting the finish of the Giro d'Italia that day. With many of the roads closed for the occasion, the flow of…

G-39 Park of the Aqueducts –loop from Santa Maria delle Mole
Finally, the joy of discovering real Roman cobblestones...
it didn't last forever!
The first 6 kilometers were fun and quite bumpy. But the sight of these aqueducts and Roman ruins was simply magnificent. What a joy, in the second part, to be able to visit these monuments steeped in over…
