Aussie Appennini Raid – 16-28 June 2014




Background

The route has been designed to explore the Appennino Centrale . Approaching from the plains to the west, before following the range south, the climbs are perhaps less severe than in previous Aussie Raid trips to the Alps and Pyrenees.

Tuscany offers rolling terrain through vineyards and olive groves. The Umbria, Marche and Abruzzo regions are where the real mountainous terrain lies.

Finally, Lazio returns us to the plains in the west as we head for our finish in Rome.
