A new bike website for the Italian section of the Via Francigena

[William Marques]

It is in Italian but pretty easy to navigate.

I looked at the website, and was a bit surprised to see they thought a hybrid bike was the right bike, and they recommend against knobby tires. I used a semi-slick fast rolling MTB tire and slipped out in the damp grass here and there, while my wife was very happy on regular MTB tires.

I pulled up the route and they have detoured a lot of trails in their version. To each his own, but the regular trail was gorgeous, and all the cyclists we met were riding it and happy.
