Italy was a Blast

I gotta admit, 2 weeks is the least amount of time ya gotta take off for a vacation to feel like a real and enjoyable vacation!!
After a long bit of travel via Auto, Aircraft and Motorcoach we arrived in Tuscany.
San Gimignano is truy one beautiful old city....however, everyone else knows it as the place was crawling with tourists all day, but 95% of them left every day at about 6PM.
Tuscany is a beautiful area and we had 7 awesome days of cycling.
Beautiful vineyard and olive grove covered hills with ancient walled cities on every hilltop.
Most days we'd avaerage about 85 miles and lots of climbing and awesomely twisty, fun descents.
Most of the climbs ranged from 500 - 1500 feet.
Every nite after cycling we'd wander out into the streets and alleys of San Gimignano followed up with a great dinner that was always accompanied with Chianti wine.

So, I've been swamped since we returned, so I'll try to get a bunch of photos posted tonite.
