Happy Valentine's day all. What a perfect day we had. I would guess a high around 60, calm air, and what I would call, "Colorado" blue skies. Shopping this morning, both for groceries and Valentine's day gifts, left me with only a few hours before I need to pick up Viola. I had this ride in mind, and had not been over here for a few weeks. Loved the ride! Via Carota is always a joy to ride. The climb to San Donato in Collina is fun and reasonably mellow. The descent to Cellai was fast with my sweet, new tires. The climb / descent / climb on the back road to Bombone is another treat. You follow that with a great descent to Rosano, and you have most of the ride. What remains is crossing to Pontassieve and then a crank on home. Really nice ride. Ciao.
33.2 miles in 2:12 rolling time for an average speed of 15.0 mph with 1780 vertical feet climbed at a sun effected average temperature of 65. What a day!

Via Carota is just such a beautiful road. What a Valentine's day
gift from the weather gods. Wow - Spring is here today!
The range across the Arno was spectacular from above Cellai.
Just past the climb from Cellai.
What a pretty back road to Bombone.
