Road to Tuscany with The Bike Shed
Last June we took a rad group of Bike Shed members on a motorcycle trip from our Clubhouse in San Marino to the beautiful Tuscany and back. We knew this was gonna be an awesome trip with a sound group of riders (of course headed by Bike Shed Dan), but what we didn’t know was that even non Bike Shed members would want to join. Naturally, between a wine tasting, a private pool party and much more in between, everybody gelled like peanut butter and jam, and in the process became one big family having unforgettable times.
Coast 2 Coast Italy 2024
An incredible trip from the eastern to the wester coast of Italy and back, starting in the Republic of San Marino, and riding by Marche, Umbria, Tuscany and Emilia Romagna regions.
The Wine Route 2023
Finally THE WINE ROUTE, our first tour of 2023, saw the light from the 13th to the 17th of April.
With a tight group of club members we embarked on this short and sweet tour of Tuscany, riding twisty and fluid roads through amazing valleys and hills, staying at incredible castles and farmhouse hotels, savouring beautiful wines matched with our local produced food, and of course learning the best way to ride the classic bikes with the invaluable training of Pietro, our chief instructor and tour leader.
Rider’s Valley 2023
Our Rider’s Valley tour this last September took us through the most iconic passes between San Marino, Tuscany and Emilia Romagna, and then onto the Moto GP race, the Ducati factory, and much more.
Spring Raid 2023
To celebrate the beginning of our RIDE 70s touring season in Italy, we were guided an eclectic group of friends on an unforgettable expedition, a motorcycle journey across the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany.
