WHERE WE STAY
After spending time in Umbria it seems correct to think of the region as Tuscany’s big sister. The small villages are a little larger, the hillsides a little higher, the valleys a little wider. Big on charm, history, and good food, we’re excited to spend a week in Umbria with you.
This tour will begin with transportation from Perugia to the village of Gubbio where we’ll pass our first two nights before transferring south to Spoleto. After three nights enjoying Spoleto we’ll head west to Orvieto where we’ll spend our last three nights and days exploring the area. The tour will end with transportation to the local train station of Orvieto which has trains connecting to Florence and Rome.
GEARED FOR
This is a 3-pig tour and an ideal way to enjoy your earned summer fitness.
We will have two 60 mile transfer days, one of which is more hilly than the other. Otherwise plan on most days ranging from 30 to 45 miles, always with some hilly terrain, but a surprising amount of gentle and flatter terrain as well.
Non-Cycling partners are welcome to join this tour, although we will not have a specific itinerary to offer off the bike, these are lovely locations that will offer walking, museums, shopping & relaxing.
