    1. I used to go on a similar ride around Florens on the weekend, but then someone in China decided to have bats for lunch, and now I am stuck in Sweden freezing my backside off every time I go for a ride. That's what I'm dealing with on Sundays.. Great vid though!

    2. Sunday rides head through the parks stop for lunch. I usually do my hard rides at night like around midnight 2 am. No traffic I can blow a few useless lights and stop signs. I've started some interval sprint training for once a week, so far. I;m in Canada so I have been off my bike for 5 months. I know, but a zwift and stationary and accessories would cost more than double what I paid for my bike. So does that make any sense? A bike vacation in march is way better. Enough with this covid , I want to ride the hills of Firenze!

    3. another entertaining, fun video. will you be doing the giro stage previews with that Andrea guide this year? last year's posts and inside scoop of different areas of Italy and stages were lots of fun. thanks for awesome content going to get me an macchiato and nonna's cake now !
