We did the Tuscany bike tour today and it kicked ALL of our butts, but it was SO much fun! We met up with our group, then 3 vans took us up to the Castle where we biked. We took a small tour of the Castle, tasted some wine and oils, then biked about 6 miles. This part of the bike ride wasn't too bad, we went downhill a lot of the time. The scenery was beautiful! We stopped for lunch half way through the tour. We had salad, 1 of 4 different pasta dishes to choose from and dessert.. oh and wine! and water of course. There were 25 people in our group. We got to meet some really cool people from the states and Belgium. After lunch is when the real biking started... we weren't sure we would were going to make it, but happy to report that we did. The tour was a total of 13 miles, which didn't sound too bad before the tour started. It was so hot again today and this part of the tour was not flat nor were we going down hills. Whomever said this tour was easy.. lied! The girl who drove us to the Castle said that this is the only tour that goes through the Castle. "The Boys" as she always referred to them, knocked on the castle door 3 times before they accepted. So, it made the tour that much more cool, that not everyone gets to taste their wine and tour the grounds. It was once again, a very hot day, which made biking that much harder. We all got a little bit of sun. Did you know that attorneys are the most stressed out people in the world but can drink because they can afford it? That was something that we learned on our tour today from other participants.
