TUSCANY TRAIL 2018

“While pedaling, it seems to you that the kilometers never pass, and as soon as you arrive you realize that it’s all over, that it was too short. I miss everything….tiredness, dust, meetings with other participants, the nights in the tent, the pain in the backside, the sandwiches, good wine, curious people, the adrenaline, the colors, the scents, the landscapes, the lizards, the butterflies and the fireflies.” Silvia Marcon

“The scent of late spring in the air, the crunch of the gravel under the wheels, the dust of the dirt roads raised after each braking, a sandwich eaten quickly in unknown places accompanied by the fresh water of a fountain in the middle of nowhere … then, a stop along the way when you have to do a wee! And you go ahead through an immense valley and a village perched on the rock that you reach nosedive … the facade of the church that stands out against the sky … Bed & Breakfast in an olive grove … the travel companions you meet and who follow the same track as the tram line: someone gets on board, you look at him and go ahead; you talk with someone else making a stretch with him ….a square crossed at dawn, an eye to the Garmin that tells you to push forward as you are almost 40 km/h and a hat that you carry to remind that it is important to go far, not fast … the younger companion who urges you to arrive to the finish line late at night … passing through the most beautiful sunset on the Argentario…#tuscanytrail 2018.” Fabio Barboni

“It’s been a couple of days since the end but I still can’t clear my mind of the days I’ve spent… and maybe I’ll never do it. I have known another way of cycling and met many fantastic people along the way who have enriched me humanly.
THANK YOU Tuscany Trail.” Aldo Saetta
