For now, I am enjoying the solo rides. I was a busy boy for most of October, but 4 months of time off seem to be starting now. If any tours come up, of course I will say yes, but from experience, that is unlikely this time of year. Great tour into the Mugello today. I had wanted to take my last couple of multi-day groups on this tour, but it just did not work out. I really enjoyed though. Taste treat has to be the cafe machiato and brioche alla ciocolatta at the tiny bar in Sant Agata. It is a favorite spot and the two young owners always seem happy to see me and are very welcoming. Highly recommended stop. Italian phrase of the day - buonissimo or really good, which is what the brioche and cafe tasted on a pretty cold ride, as autumn sets in here. Here is the garmin link for the ride:

Looking toward Scarperia at the beginning of the climb toward
Sant Agata.
Looking back at Sant Agata on the way to Galliano.
I love the little town and the bar / cafe there.
One of my favorite roads in Tuscany from Bosco ai Frati
back toward San Piero a Sieve. My friend Don Cook calls
it the "401 of road biking". Couldn't agree more.

San Piero a Sieve.
