WE RODE FROM FIESOLE (FLORENCE) TO SIENA TODAY A DISTANCE OF 62 MILES WITH AN ELEVATION GAIN OF 6,000 FEET.
TODAY WAS A PRETTY SPECIL DAY IN OUR CYCLING LIVES. WE RODE WITH A CYCLING SUPERSTAR, FABIANA LUPERINI. FABIANA WON THE WOMENS GIRO D’ITALIA A RECORD 5 TIMES (4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS) AND ONCE AGAIN IN 2008.
I ASKED FOR A LITTLE COACHING ON HOW TO BECOME A BETTER CLIMBER. SHE GAVE ME THE FORMULA: WEIGH 2.2 POUNDS TIMES YOUR HEIGHT IN INCHES WHICH, FOR ME TRANSLATES INTO 2.2 X 73 = 160.6 POUNDS!! I NEED TO LOSE 35 POUNDS!!!
WE CROSSED THE ARNO RIVER AND ENTERED THE CHIANTI HILLS WHICH IS FILLED WITH VINEYARDS, OLIVE TREES AND WONDERFUL HILL TOWNS. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE TODAYS RIDE IS THROUGH OUR PICTURES.
WE HAVE 4 MORE DAYS OF RIDING BEFORE WE REACH ROMA.
