Lucca, Tuscany Spring Break - £1495

The best time to go cycling in Lucca is April, May, June, or September, when the temperatures are ideal for cycling. These months still have good weather, but it’s milder than in July and August.

Another factor to consider is Lucca's tourist season. From July to September, the area gets noticeably busier. If you want a quieter, less busy ride, visit just before or after these months.

There are several options for bike rentals in Lucca. We recommend Ciclismo Plus.

Our Tuscany cycling trip offers six days of guided rides, tailored to your goals and ability. With professional support from our guides, coaches, and support vehicle.

Hiring a bike is a matter of personal preference. If you have your own set-up that you're used to and are happy travelling with it, this might be the best option. If not, we can recommend some bike rental providers.

We highly recommend bringing appropriate cycling gear, such as padded shorts, comfortable shoes, and a helmet. It is also advisable to bring a small backpack for essentials like water, snacks, sunscreen, and a light rain jacket. These can be stored for the duration of rides within our support vehicle. As with all of your kit brought on the trip, we strongly suggest that you've tested it and are happy with how it performed prior to the start.

Our cycling trips cater to individuals of various experience levels. However, we recommend being comfortable riding a bike for longer periods of time (up to 5 hours) and having some prior experience with multi-day trips.

While we strive to ensure safe and enjoyable cycling conditions on our trips, unpredictable weather can sometimes occur. In such cases, our team will make necessary adjustments to the routes or schedules to ensure your safety while still providing an enjoyable experience.

Preparation in the weeks and months leading up to the trip is key, particularly for less experienced cyclists or those who have never tacked a training block of long back-to-back rides. We suggest training at least 3 to 4 times per week at varying intensities to ensure you are ready for your cycling trip. Towards your departure date, you should be comfortable completing rides of 100 kilometres. It is also advisable to consult with a physician before making a booking.
