The ride begins at Lucca's historic walls: you push off from the cobbled ring road and the city shrinks behind you as the towers and red roofs recede. The route follows the long, engineered curve of Lorenzo Nottolini's aqueduct, stone arches cutting a steady rhythm through chestnut and olive groves. Water here is more than drink—it's a local identity, the oligomineral springs of Lucca threading villages and feeding the small valley of Guamo.
