How I’m riding the Tuscany Trail without the heavy bags

TLDR

• Bike trips in Tuscany Italy are a lot more fun when you aren't hauling 15kg of gear over steep gravel climbs.

• I’m using the luggage transfer and accommodation service from Tuscany Bike Route to keep my bike light for the Tuscany Trail.

If you’ve started looking into bike trips in Tuscany Italy, you know the climbs are no joke, especially when you’re off-road. I’m currently getting ready for the Tuscany Trail, and honestly, the thought of bikepacking with a fully loaded setup was stressing me out. I wanted to actually enjoy the views and the technical descents instead of just fighting my bike weight the whole time.

That’s why I reached out to Riccardo at Tuscany Bike Route. He’s the founder and a former pro, so he gets the logistics better than anyone. He’s basically solving the two biggest headaches for me: where to sleep and how to move my stuff.

I’m using his specialized support services to handle my luggage transfer. Every morning I just drop my bag, and it meets me at my next stop. It’s a total game-changer for an event like this. He’s also helped me sort out local accommodations that actually welcome cyclists, which is huge because a lot of the best spots aren't even on the major booking sites or Google Maps.

If you’re planning on bikepacking Tuscany Trail Italy or just want a custom Tuscany gravel biking trip without the logistical nightmare, I’d highly recommend checking out what he does. It’s the best way to get that rugged, authentic experience while still having a professional camper caravan and technical support waiting for you at the end of the day. It makes the whole "ride light" philosophy actually possible
