September 19 – BAC Tuscany On The Med Day 8

Our Morning Wake Up

I did an easy ride today. It was a repeat of the first day’s ride to Bolgheri for cappuccino. The weather was perfect – sunny skies and temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s. I rode with Francie, Jim, Clay and Craig from the Bay Area and members of Valley Spokesmen. Most of the ride was on the local wine road. We saw some activity in the vineyards – mostly mechanical trimming of the vines. We also rode past olive groves.

On the way back, we stopped for lunch in Donoratico and had a feast. Crostini, mixed seafood antipasti, pasta and fritto misto. We also consume a few bottles of wine and some beer. On the way back to the hotel, we took a bike path to stay away from traffic.

Here is a link to today's ride.

After Happy Hour, I was in charge of taking group photos. There were too many people for one photo, so we broke into several smaller groups. Dinner was after the photos. Here is tonight’s menu:
