What makes this loop worth riding.
Everything from the Ride Base Pack, right here on the page.
April–May and September–October are the sweet spot. Mild Mediterranean climate — rideable virtually year-round, with sea breeze taking the edge off summer.
43% unpaved mixing hardpack, loose sections and occasional technical passages. 40–45 mm tyres and a wide-range cassette recommended.
Water points in Castiglione della Pescaia and Tirli. Cafe and bakery on route; in Tirli you'll find bar, grocery and restaurant.
A swim at Cala Violina, and the view over the Tuscan Archipelago from the top of the Tirli climb.
