   Bike ride through Tuscany!  We got to the origination point of the ride and met the other bikers: Julian & Lauren from Australia (nurses on a 3 month holiday!!) Jake & Kelly from New York.
They drove us out of Florence to get our bikes. We biked up hill and down, through round abouts and along quiet country roads. Our guide, Joseph was very knowledgeable about the area, including wine making. Our first stop was to hear the history of Chianti wine, second stop was for coffee where we heard more history of the area, at the third stop we toured a winery and had a wonderful lunch there and our fiinal stop was for a gelato. The biking was work! Mostly up hill for 3-4 hours! The saving grace was the last 1.5 hours was downhill!
