Lucca: Self-Guided Bike Tour Through Historic Villas and Wine Roads

An unserem Tag hatten wir 32 Grad und ich hätte die Strecke ohne E-Bike nicht bewältigen wollen. Es geht vorwiegend geradeaus, am Schluss aber über Schotter ein gutes Stück aufwärts nach Monte Carlo. Wir brauchten für den Hinweg 2 1/2 Stunden, den Rückweg 1 1/4 Stunden. Haben etwas abgekürzt. Am Fluss entlang ist die Fahrt entspannend, sonst vorwiegend auf Asphalt durch Dörfer. Landschaftlich nicht sooo eindrucksvoll.

This ride is not for the faint of heart. We think we are in decent shape (definitely not professional athletes) but we don’t ride bikes a ton. This was pretty challenging for us. It comes out to about 32 miles and it took us until about 6pm. Obviously we stopped in Montecarlo and had lunch and a couple drinks. We had some bad weather that slowed us down substantially as well. We were expecting more wineries, but only saw a couple and didn’t have time to stop because of the weather and distance remaining. I would recommend this to people with good/above average fitness as there are some decent climbs along the way. There is some riding on busier roads as well so if that bothers you, I’d recommend getting a car or choosing something different. Overall it was a fun and challenging experience, but if you are looking for a wine and dine experience this is definitely not the tour for you. This is an all day workout.
