| Introduction | I am a 70yo not particularly fit cyclist and an avid map lover and planner. I have organised several tours for multiple riders in Italy, including two weeks in Puglia/Basilicata, coast to coast from Viareggio to Rimini and others. As well as these I have done the planning for multiple other holidays in Italy for myself, family and friends. I do this for fun and no money changes hands. The trips I plan are designed to link up with trains and international flights. I speak bad Italian but enough to get by and I love riding in Italy!In the past I have engineered trips to coincide with local festivals such as the Bravio delle Botti di Montepulciano, the Chianti Classico festival in Chianti, the Palio della Balestra di Sansepolcro, Partita a Scacchi di Marostica and so on. The most recent was the Sant'Efisio Festival (Cagliari) - Sardinia. Who knows what the future holds? Right now though I am planning my first cycling trip in Japan and this blog will record what happens! The plan is to ride the Shimanami Kaido, the Tobishima Kaido and the Sazanami Kaido in October 2026. |
