The beginning of the ride.

​

Since the day I knew I was moving to Italy I felt in heart that I wanted to learn how to become a cyclist, a real one. How do they do it ? Always thought within myself.

​​

Before arriving to Florence, I signed in to a competence called #GFNY in Mexico is very popular. I did it once in Cozumel, and when I saw  that the Italian version was going to take place in Montepulciano, Siena at the  same  time when I was supposed to be in Italy I thought that the chance to do a race like this is unique; thus, it  became my goal and my reason to get things done fast. 

​

So the very first thing I did was to do a little research about bike rentals in Florence or bike stores and  suddenly I arrived to "Florence by bike" there I found everything I needed. It was like a little paradise for cyclist plenty of clothes, tools, bikes gadgets, I was thrilled.

​

I was decided to buy a bike, out of the many bikes they had I found a women´s bike from the "Scott" brand called "Contessa" it was my size and  it I felt it it was just for me.

​

In "Florence by Bike" I  discovered  more amazing things. They have a team that bikes every weekend, guided by Lorenzo Nigi who is the president and the most upstanding men I ever met. He is always taking care of his team caring about everyone needs and organizing bike rides "giros" every weekend  I was just so happy to find this group where I could easily join in and learn about team work.

​

So long story short, this is how I started riding in Chianti Valley, Grassina, Grosseto, Pontesieve, San Vincenzo, this are just a few towns I discovered that now just feels like home to ride around them.
