Bike ride through Chianti

We put our bikes onto the bike racks and drove down to Greve once again. This time we biked East torwards San Michele National Park. It was a great bike ride but very hard. We biked for two hours up hill in 90 degree heat and climbed more than 600 meters on a gravel road. At the top of the mountain there was a restaurant - what a relief - and ate lunch. The owner of the restaurant suggested that we take a short cut over a rough back road (our car would not have made it more than 5 meters). We arrived at Lemore and then it was down hill through beautiful chianti classico country. It was a great 5 hour trip.
