I had reached out to the different bike tour places looking for rental info and hotel and route suggestions. Got almost nothing of value back unfortunately.
I had to get some things locked in as we were losing time so here's what we got
Rented a 2014 R1200RT from HP Motorrad in Florence
Staying 3 nights in Florence at Hotel Davanzati
2 nights in Siena at Hotel Athena
1 night in Pisa at Hotel Novecento.
Plan on Heading down to Siena after a day in Florence and spending the day walking around. Then we'll do a day loop to Arezzo and Montepulciano and back to Siena. Next day we'll head for Pisa via San Gimignano, Volterra and Castiglioncello. Tour Pisa next morning and head for Florence in the afternoon. We'll take the train to Venice after that.
Bit of a whirlwind tour and I hope to research out good spots along the way, maybe some off the beaten path roads. We'll see. It's been a chore working even this much out. My preference was to just sign up with a tour and let them do all the work but our fixed dates just wouldn't allow it.
I'll report back here about the places we stayed so that anyone researching in the future will have some insight.
