Day 7 of the Via Francigena (57km)

October15

57km / 2 hours 54 minutes / 468m gain

Today was a gorgeous ride, and I am finally out of the plains and heading into the hills of Tuscany. There were a lot of busy roads today, which I didn’t enjoy, though. I stopped in town to read and chill for a bit.

I stayed at a fantastic B&B called La Vecchia Quercia; the host was amazing and made me dinner. It was so nice to have a homecooked meal, and the 2nd course after an amazing risotto was a local dish of cabbage stuffed with meat. I loved it! And I slept so well as it was in the countryside, utterly quiet and so peaceful (view from my room in the morning in the Day 8 post).

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
