"You can average 35kph" on a 90km ride with 1400m of elevation gain, I would be delighted to Ave 30kph on the road. You're a machine Hank.

I'm glad to see that GCN sent Hank out on an epic bike ride that did not involve forcing him to ride to exhaustion; endure extremes of heat, cold, or altitude; and crushing his soul to the point of mental breakdown. It looked like Hank had a lovely time.

GCN production quality is incredible. This is why traditional broadcast media is fading - this is so much better

I took my bike to Tuscany this year and can confirm that it's absolutely worth it. The climbs are sometimes brutal (I did miss a few gears actually, so it turned to be a nice strength training), but the views and the landscape are rewarding to say the least. Getting up early to see from my bike the sun rising above the vineyards and the hills was an experience I will never forget.

Hank, practice saying “Cam-pan-yolo”, grab a vintage bike and get yourself signed up for l’Eroica 209km in Gaiole in Chianti for some vintage Tuscan gravel next October!
