Cliff Krolick is a New Englander, and usually treats himself to a break from winter each year by heading south. This winter may have been mild, but it was still too long – so he took some friends down to Quito, Ecuador for a biking adventure.
Mountain biking in Tuscany is unsurpassed – with narrow lanes, abandoned villas and centuries-old church ruins overgrown with grapevines. And after a day of riding, nothing tastes better than a fresh meal and an excellent bottle of village wine.
