We’ve covered the fine work of Trail Brothers Tuscany in a past article, and I had the opportunity to ride their hand-dug tracks a few weeks back during the Bike Connection Agency (BCA) winter edition. The BCA is an event designed by two Roman bike industry veterans, where journalists get to connect with brand representatives, conduct interviews, and test new products to share with readers. Founders, Giulio Neri and Simon Cittati, picked an ideal location for their winter gathering, in the warm hills of Massa Marittima, Italy.
The beginning of the eight trail system can be reached by way of Trail Brothers’ shuttle service, or a calm pedal up the aptly named Spaghetti Trail. Pedaling on either the twisty Spaghetti track or roundabout road climb takes from thirty minutes to an hour depending on how much pasta you have to burn, while the shuttle ride is closer to twelve minutes. The Trail Brothers have opened a warming hut at the drop off point, equipped with a pump, tools, a bonfire, hot coffee, and sweet snacks. For folks moving at maximum vacation speed, it’s a sweet spot to stop and chat before dropping in.
