Ride 3: Sant'Agata - Radda in Chianti 

61.4 mi - 6233 ft D+ (98.9 km  1,900 m) 

 

Our journey moves on from the magnificent valley of Mugello heading south for new landscapes. We ascend to Vetta alle Croci and descend towards the valley of the river Arno on beautiful and quiet roads. We ride along the valley floor for a little while and then make our way up on the rolling hills of Chianti, the hearth of the Tuscan wine country. Grape vines and olive groves are perfectly alternated and in harmony with the surrounding forests. The roads are quiet and gentle, but beware: the climbs can get punchy real quickly! Enjoy.
