Long story short: My wife's company was acquired and as a result she was laid off, so we are spending 8 weeks in Europe with an apartment rental in Florence.
I will be bringing a bike, I'm currently leaning towards my new gravel/adventure bike to give me the most versatility in routes and also possibly use it for hauling groceries etc. It's steel so I think will should be less prone to damage in transportation compared to carbon.
Does anyone have experience riding near Florence or generally in the Tuscan region? Road or gravel/dirt routes welcome.
Unfortunately we're leaving right at the start of the Giro so I won't be able to see any of that but we will be there during the Tirreno-Adriatico stage race as well as Milan San-Remo. Anyone have experience spectating either?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
