My big decision at the moment is whether to take the old 520 or to begin saving my shekels to build up a Surly Travelers Check. I'd really like a new bike.
Bringing bicycles on a plane is getting more and more expensive, a Traveler's Check or similar might not be a bad idea.
4 to 7 days starting in Florence should be really nice, heading south towards Siena and Montalcino would be real nice. would you do a loop or just take a train back?
