we designed this
easy tour
specifically for those with little or no mountain biking experience as the
perfect entry into an exciting new sport (check
also our
Vinci tour).
The day begins with a short van shuttle up to
Monte
Morello, one of the mountains towering over Florence. We'll ride
along the wide trails

through
the
quiet woods of this protected area and
have ample time to get used to our bikes and learn some
technical
tricks for handling different types of terrain.
The trail will gently climb to one of the higher points of the mountain
and then descend to a
beautiful overlook with
views of the Appenine mountains that extend north out of Florence. Arriving
at Ceppeto, a tiny chapel nestled in the woods, we'll stop for a
delicious
picnic lunch (weather permitting) or enjoy lunch at a nearby trattoria.
Our descent to Florence will be
exhilerating
as we follow tiny roads that wind through olive groves and past old stone
farm houses.
