Eternal Bike Trip... At times I feel like I've always been on a bike trip, ever since Ralphie Leeper and I pedaled from our homes in Youngwood to the Rustic Drive-In in United 5 miles away and we arrived home after dark. I was eight, Ralphie ten. I had memorized the way there when my family would go to the movies. And somehow, I just had to bicycle "there" and back. Well, this blog is about that same sense of adventure. A bicycle trip I just have to do. Europe.

August 10 Viareggio to Barberino Val D-Esel 146K / 90 Miles
A day to fulfill a dream. To lean on the leaning Tower of Pisa eating a slice of pizza. And I am now in Tuscany. And it is hot. The first 90K today was flat, but then 9K short of the hilltop town of Volterra the road went up. The last 4K being very steep. I walked around an hour and a half, ate some ice cream bars. Hey, it was really hot.
