Subject: RE: Training in Florence or Firenze I was in Italy in June with my family and spent 4 days in Firenze. We did a bike tour which I highly recommend, http://www.fiesolebike.it/ They have several stock tours of varying length or will customize any for you. You can also rent from them and do a self-guided tour if you want. We really liked the owner who did our tour with us, GIOVANNI CRESCIOLI. I am sure other options exist for biking as well. I did not look into swimming in Florence, but enjoyed swimming in the Mediterranean quite a bit while we were in Manarola, one of the Cinque Terre. I highly recommend visiting that area - great hiking!.
I also ran 3 times in Firenze and, like Sous, really enjoyed running along the river. Be carful in town on the cobblestones. They can be real ankle turners if you don't watch your footing.
Have a great trip! |
