Altopascio to San Minato

[Bob from L.A. !]

Another hot start to the day and onto the forested roads.
Today I walked through lots of Olive groves and amongst Rock Pines.
The course was relatively flat until the last 2 kilometers which were ALL uphill leading me into San Miniato.

I remember that climb well; the first of many on this stretch through Italy. You've done this before, Bob, so you know what to expect; quite a few "hill"top villages will end your days.
