Tuscany bikepacking route 🍝🍷

Some pictures of my first bikepacking trip. Decided to create a round trip through Tuscany (Italy) as a holiday. Maybe some people can use it as inspiration to make an even better route. It is a mixture of gravel and asphalt, rural areas and big cities, coasts and mountains. I personally rode it in 14 days of cycling, where the first half was hard work on the bike and packed with highlights, and the second half was much more relaxed.

Highlights:
– Mountains between Bologna and Tuscany area.
– Big/well-known cities like Firenze, Siena, Pisa.
– Lots of white gravel roads, with part of the route following the parcours of the Strade Bianche race.
– Partially aligns with the Tuscany Trail.
– Meandering coastline roads.
– Lots of opportunities to stay at "Agriturismo's", which basically allow you to camp at local farms/wineries, and sometimes even join at their dinnertables.

We didn't follow the route precisely to the dot, as we adjusted every few days based on the available campsites.

The route absolutely has room for improvement, but I am happy to help improve it if someone is seriously considering a similar adventure.
