Hey there!

First Post around here. (And I'm sure I'll get directed to the "Search function")
But just wondering if anyone has any advice on routes to tour around Italy?
I'll be starting in Rome most likely and have just a short week to toodle around, though the girl friend and I are in pretty good shape and should be able to cover decent ground every day.
We could bring a tent with us, but also since we'll be renting bikes and I don't know what options there may be it would be really nice to keep that pack as light as possible.
Unless some one has some bike rental suggestions as well?

Thanks for any help and feed back! cheers!
