Cycling Holidays In Italy From Chain Gang Brochure

If you are looking for a truly enjoyable Gourmet Cycling Tour this summer, you have come to the right place. You will enjoy great food and fine wine, and still get enough exercise to alleviate the guilt of pleasurable eating and drinking. We can offer you a totally enjoyable experience on our escorted cycling tours in Italy. Tuscany and Umbria combine everything that's fascinating about Italy. Etruscan and Roman history, the Renaissance, wonderful architecture, and surely some of the most amazing and beautiful cathedrals in the world. Visually it's spectacular, running from the Mediterranean coast up to the foothills of the Apennines. Tuscany in particular offers wonderful wines from Chianti, and more traditionally the deep, rich 'Brunello' from Montalcino and the 'Vino Nobile' of Montepulciano. In Umbria, most noteworthy are the white wines of Orvieto. The main aim of the week is that we have fun. We provide good bikes, mostly TREK hybrids and a variety of road-bikes. We have built up a network of good local contacts, we eat and drink well and we have a good time. Whichever one of our cycling holidays you choose, our philosophy is pretty simple. Every area we've chosen is fascinating in its own right - whether for the scenery of Provence and the Dordogne, the chateaux of the Loire Valley, or the hill towns and renaissance architecture of Tuscany and Umbria. On our tours we aim to explore everything that's best about a region, and to provide the most interesting itinerary of any cycling holiday company.
