Early Tuesday morning (July 15th) leave and arrive in Pisa, Italy to start my 420k solo journey along the Via Francegina to the Vatican City in Rome. 

Working against me this time is a lot of hills and the weather. Its meant to be pretty warm and I have actually packed a set of lights in case I need to be setting off before the sun rises to avoid the worst of the heat. I also have not yet, 100%, figured out how I’m getting my bike out of the country.  It’s booked on my flight but I do not have any way to pack it….. yet

My route is fantastic, lots of little villages, Tuscan gravel, hills, hot springs and sunflower fields to be cycling through. 

As previous trips, video and photographs will be available to document the good, the bad and the down right ridiculous
