If you missed the big news, JOM and Lady Gravel Cyclist (aka LGC) joined Trek Travel for their Gravel Bike Tour in the Tuscany region, which began on May 29, 2023 and ended on June 2nd, 2023.
Day Three
Explore Epic Views & Vistas of Tuscany and enjoy Coffee in Siena
“It’s another spectacular day of cycling discovery and adventure as you follow the white gravel routes featured in one of Italy’s most famous pro races, taking you to beautiful Siena, the start and finish point to the race. In this picturesque town you can enjoy the views while sipping your macchiato in the vibrant Piazza del Campo, Siena’s main historic square and local meeting point.”
“From Siena, you’ll head south through the almost lunar landscape of Crete Senesi to Buonconvento, where we’ll stop for a special lunch with incredible, sweeping views of Tuscan rolling hills. With 360 degree vistas, you can appreciate the contrast between the dense vineyards of Chianti and the vast, rolling fields of Val d’Orcia.”

For those unaware, Trek Travel has been in the business of cycling experiences for many years, mostly on the pavement, but we’re very excited to see they’ve expanded their portfolio into the world of gravel cycling! Trek Travel’s gravel bike tours combine mixed-surface roads in the company of guides well acquainted with the area, aboard world class bikes such as the Trek Checkpoint, and the company’s e-Bike, the Domane +, a review of which is posted in the link below.
