The journey and the 'canon'

Our only fee is the absence of constraints or restrictions.
Along the way we will get lost and we will find each other again and we will resume the track again. We will constantly feel enriched by new experiences and always surprising stimuli. By participating in the event, at the end of summer, at the most beautiful time of the year to travel by bike, you will have the opportunity to meet numerous other travelers, coming from all over the world. We will be able to share knowledge and road sections with them. In whatever way everyone thinks of organizing themselves and dividing the stages, the journey will offer unexpected opportunities to immerse themselves in the beauty of a unique landscape, to discover the very rare art treasures preserved in historic centers, to savor their atmospheres suspended in time. And get close to the vital and welcoming communities that hold the secret of the art of living. These are emotions that are difficult to express only with words and that can be found in food, in good wine, in the silence of the villages and in the smiles of their inhabitants. It is a journey where you can fully activate your five senses: the hearing to listen to the silences of the countryside; the sight to admire the landscapes and wonders of art cities such as Pisa, Lucca, San Miniato, San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra and authentic small villages; the sense of smell to smell the September air of Tuscany, the scent of the forests; the taste to savor the best foods of our Italy; the touch to touch the cypresses, the olive trees, the walls full of history, the alabaster statues.

Which bike?

The bicycle is the means not the end.

It is clear that, if you intend to organize yourself for a trip, you must choose the appropriate means of transport. We do not set any limits, we only suggest what the conditions could be to tackle the journey in the best way, safely and pleasantly, without having to worry too much about technical factors. You will be free to choose the bike that you deem most suitable for covering the 420 km studied meter by meter: the road bike, the gravel, the mtb or even the ebike. You can choose between two GPX tracks and a road book. You will be equipped with a tracking device. Any bike is fine, the important thing is to be equipped to face the journey, calibrating luggage and racks, clothing, tools, technologies and everything that can make it easier for you during the journey. You will learn to travel lighter and transform your bike into a new tool, almost an extension of you. You will discover a new world made of essential, truly useful things, and you will abandon the superfluous after having learned to recognize it.
