To clarify, I did not ride in the city, in Siena. We found a bike shop there that gave us a route that took us up through the hills (not too bad) in Gaiole en Chianti (sp?). There were several wineries en route and the lunch we had was to die for. Good thing we ate pasta, because, somehow, we got off course and did a climb that the bike shop owner later told us was part of the Giro . Only time I've ever seen DH get off of his bike.
