Bikepacking the Tuscany Trail - Castagneto Carducci to Santa Luce - The Bike Challenge

Day 1 of Tuscany Trail was a mix of emotions!
The excitement of the start.
The agony of the insane heat and temperatures, unusual for May, going up to 35 degrees at the peak.
The pain of the steep climbs with full bikepacking gear.
The joy of sharing a new adventure with old and new friends.

I've decided to only use Tuscan Artists for this mini series, you will find the credits below.
