Half way along the ridge more experienced cyclists can take a deviation up onto Monte Cedrone joining us later along the trail. After about 45 minutes cycling we turn off the main ridge and follow a path down a picturesque spur that slopes gently into the Tiber valley. The track passes through pine forests, meadows full of wild flowers (In spring!) then later through oak woodlands as it descends to the valley floor.

 

After one and a half to two hours of cycling we arrive at the little village of Lerchi just outside of which lies the Macri country house.

At Macri country house you can have a light lunch or a full 4 course meal*(See Umbrian Cuisine) before deciding how best to spend your afternoon. You can relax by the pool at no extra cost. *Cycle Middle Italy customers are offered an all inclusive 15 euro deal consisting of a three course meal with wine and coffee plus afternoon use of pool.
