Day 1: Arrival Day

Arrive not later than 9 July in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. Airport pick up and transfer to your accommodation. Relax until the briefing and dinner in down town.

During briefing we will ask every woman what she wants from her holiday; whether they prefer more riding or more sightseeing; what sort of speed they prefer; whether they prefer paved or dirt roads; how often they like to take breaks; if they would like to stop at picturesque points for photos; and so on.

Generally speaking, we tend to ride for 6/8 hours per day over paved back roads (dirt roads optional). Unless you have a preference to the contrary, we plan to stop every hour (or every 1,5 hours) for a drink at the road-side with a longer stop for lunch which we usually have at a restaurant. We can spend time for visiting the main attractions and taking in the major sights, and then head back to Italy's winding roads.
