Bikepacking the Chianti Way: Siena to Florence

A rough and tumble way along strade bianche, tracks and roads taking you over Tuscany's Chianti hills. Known as Il Sentiero del Chianti - it's a challenging enough trip for the mildly fit. Suits a three day ride with bivi spots possible to find above Gaiole and Greve. Best done with a corkscrew and a pal. For a ride account of how it is in early March, check out my article which appeared in Cycle magazine in October 2019. There's sun, snow, pasta, wine, coffee and tears: cyclinguk.org/article/great-rides-bikepacking-chianti-way
