Beautiful september in Florence

Not so hot as in August, cool breeze refreshing during the ride, September is probably one of the best months to ride Florence by bike.
This afternoon we rode the whole city, from Piazzale Michelangelo to San Miniato a Monte church, the highest point of the city, then diving to the center and finally resting in Cascine park, on the grass in the shadows of big oaks.

Riding Artimino hill by ebike

Artimino is a nice tiny village on the top of Montalbano hill, 10 km out of Florence city center, where the Medici family established his holiday residence.
Villa Ferdinanda is the country house of lords, in the middle of olive groves and vineyards. This season is perfect to ride this hill, warm wether and cool breeze, great landscapes and the opportunity to see the harvest. Grapes colours and perfume are the perfect surround of your ride here.
To make the climb easyer and relaxed we used an ebike...

Summer Florence and chianti ride

Evening and early morning are the best moments to ride in Tuscany because of the cooler weather and less croud into the city center.
But one more reason is the sunset that you cam watch from Ponte Vecchio, with the sun diving into the arno river.
Handsome!

Another great ride in Florence

Early morning, the sun is rising and the weather is perfect for a ride in the city before it become to crowdy.
Today two guys from Atlanta are joining me to pedal through the history of Florence.
Talking about Florentine stories and about riding make us forget about the time, so we climb to the top of S. Maria a Monte church without effort.
Here we take a breath in the shadow of the church and enjoy the amazing landscape.
