Moderate · Road
The easiest of our rides: along the Wine Road up to the view over Lucca from Matraia, past Villa Grabau to an ice cream stop at Panik, then through Montecarlo and Collodi (say hi to Pinocchio) to the view from Petrognano. A couple of short gravel stretches.
Hard · Road
Over Passo del Trebbio into the Garfagnana and Castelnuovo, back through the rock tunnel and past the view over Lucca from Matraia.
Hard · Road
Over Monte Pisano with a view down to Pisa, a photo stop at the Leaning Tower (push for a few meters there), and home past Nozzano Castle.
Moderate · Road
One long, beautiful climb up to Fiano with views over the hills, and back along the road through the rock tunnel.
Hard · Road
Fiano - M's big sibling: up to Fiano, then the 8 km climb to Passo Sella and past Lago di Turrite Cava.
Hard · Road
The big one: through the olive groves past Collodi, up into the mountains to La Lima, a coffee stop at Bar Roma, then home through the rock tunnel and past the view over Lucca from Matraia.
Good to know
We've always brought our own bikes, so we can't recommend a specific shop. Lucca has several bike rentals though, so have a look and book ahead for late May.
Helmet, your own pedals and shoes if you ride clip-ins, sunscreen, two bottles and plenty of snacks.
All our routes are for road bikes, because that's what we ride. The hills are full of mountain bike trails too, we just don't know them. A local bike shop or Komoot is a good place to start.
