We are now at the end of the summer season. Shorter days, cooler temperatures and less favourable weather conditions for cyclists keep even the most adventurous riders off their bikes. Even if we are the last ones to stay off the bike – we couldn’t do it for very long – we know how nice it is when we spend time planning on a rainy Sunday for the next season. It’s not only good for your mood, but it makes you plan more exciting and new experiences for the coming spring.
Enjoy the warmth of your home, the comfort of the sofa and our suggestions to get inspiration for a spring cycling holiday, and discover the most beautiful roads and trails in Italy.
