Itinerary


Day 2 - Piacenza to Bologna
Day 2 - Piacenza to Bologna
After leaving Piacenza we cycle through the flat plains of Emilia-Romagna in the Po basin. The area is renowned for its agriculture, cheeses, hams…. & Ferrari manufacture. We cover a long distance but there are no significant hills with practically no climbing all day. The highlight of the day is arriving in the stunning city of Bologna for the evening, after enjoying the last flat countryside of the trip. DAY 2 STATS: 108 miles, 2115 ft total ascent
Day 3 - Bologna to Figline Valdarno
Day 3 - Bologna to Figline Valdarno
Soon after leaving Bologna we start to get a taste for the day ahead – crossing the border into the rolling hills of Tuscany! We complete the two largest climbs of the Leg in the morning with lunch at a hilltop restaurant at the top of the 2nd climb at the Passadel Giogo. The afternoon involves more of the same but with 2 far less significant climbs. In the evening we stay in Figline Valdarno. DAY 3 STATS: 90.9 miles, 9,448 ft total ascent
DAY 4 - Figline Valdarno to Orvieto
DAY 4 - Figline Valdarno to Orvieto
We cover more rolling Tuscan hills as we continue through Tuscany and move into Umbria. One climb in the morning with two in the afternoon but nothing too serious with a peak altitude all day of 1,752 ft. We will stay the night in the outstandingly stunning and dramatic city of Orvieto. Arrive early to enjoy roaming the medieval streets and take in the views. Dinner next to the stunning Duomo in a family owned restaurant renowned for its truffles. DAY 4 STATS: 93 miles, 6,936 ft total ascent
Day 5 - Orvieto to Rome
Day 5 - Orvieto to Rome
Two climbs in the morning in the Umbrian countryside including the Lake Vico Nature reserve before having lunch and the opportunity for a cooling swim in Lake Vigo. After lunch we cycle through the national park and around Lake Bracciano before crossing the plains to Labaro and picking up a great cycle path that takes us almost entirely traffic free the last 10 miles into the centre of Rome and 400 metres from the finish at The Vatican. DAY 5 STATS: 96 miles, 7,675 ft total ascent

No youth hostels or dormitory rooms but possibly a small number of triples.
