John runs a first class operation. He provides an easy to follow map that you run on your phone (attached by convenient handle bar mounts) on an e-bike that helps you make short work of the hilly terrain. All the equipment was in great shape and the briefing before we left helped to identify major turns and points along the way. Then off we went into a temperate March morning. The route stays mainly on bike paths, and it was easy and pleasant to pedal through the city on the way out and on the way in. It’s a 23 mile loop with many scenic spots along the way. The vineyard at the midpoint was very scenic with friendly service. We enjoyed the optional wine and food for lunch, then pedaled to plaza Michelangelo for a stunning city view. We returned through the city along the Arno and bike paths. It was totally awesome. Thanks again to John!
