Tuscany, Apenini Alpi
This for 200 miles.
Late winter reconnaissance mission. Weather is about to flip. Crocus are blooming ever faithfully mid February.
This mountain range the was German hard-line in WWII. "The Gothic Line." The last stand in Italy. They hunkered in as the Americans blasted through Florence and hammered north.
Between October 1943 and March 1944, the Germans lost over 40,000 guys here on this ridge, most are burred nearby in an all German Military cemetery. Kids still go with metal detectors and find bits from the WW's.
It just so happens that in 2022, the road there and back are epic awesome from riding.
