Some views from the road on our training ride in the Cévennes today. Col du Pré de la Dame, at 15km, is a mountain not to be taken lightly. Luckily, the legs showed up, and we made it up and back down ;-)

On our last day of this week's reconn, we found out what the organizers have in store for our riders on the last climb of the day in early July - answer: a hill that demands a healthy amount of respect! Your bed is waiting at the top of this one, so you will have extra incentive!

44|5 riders, you will be the envy of the 16,000 strong peloton in July. This is your race day chalet, taken from the finish line. You will be minutes from a cold drink and a hot shower!

Talk about a difficult choice! We can confirm that the route to the left is a great descent. Next time we'll turn right!

44|5 Cycling Tours alumni from California taken the other day. Collectively, this group has been riding with us since 2016 on the roads of the French Alps, Provence, the Cévennes, Catalunya, Piedmont, and Lake Como. One of them will be back for this July, and we are working on the rest for one more kick at the bike-tour can in 2025!

We went over to the Ventoux area for some training today and rode past a lot of these guys in full bloom. If you have never had a cherry from Ventoux, you need to visit us in May or early June!

We found the friendliest craft beer bar in Firenze (or maybe the world!) yesterday. If beer is your thing, Francesco will make sure you get what you need.

A hilly ride into Chianti Classico country this morning. You work for your views (and your post-ride wine) in this part of the world, but it's definitely worth it.

Can you fit a bottle of wine in a jersey pouch?

Wherever you go in Tuscany, there is a hilltop village with your name on it.

Our first day of HighRoad Tuscany reconnaissance is in the books. We started where our tour will probably end - in the "Super Tuscan" wine area of Bolgheri. Imagine yourself freewheeling down the alley of cypress trees above after a last day on the bike in the Tuscan hills!
