We had a wonderful drive down to Volterra in Tuscany from Bayern a few summers ago.



All sorts of great stops.



and here.



and many more.

We stayed at this Agriturismo outside Volterra.



We ended up riding our bikes from town to town over six days. Many of these roads are on the L' Eroica routes.

Can't wait to return in the summer of 2013.

I'll have to hold off on L' Eroica though until I retire.

It is almost impossible for me to get away at that time of the year.
