Urbino is my favourite place in Italy (so far). I've had 5 holidays just outside Urbino as well as visiting as part of WDW. It's a proper historic Italian hill town, but also a university city. If you fancy a dose of art/culture (other than, obviously, the Ducati art/culture at Misano), the Ducal Palace Museum is worth a visit. If you just fancy gelato, Sorbetto del Duca keeps calling me back. Beautiful scenery, but potholes in some of the roads between Urbino, Tavullia and Misano make even Surrey B roads look like a racetrack in comparison!

This year I will be using Bikeshuttle to get my bike to and from Geneva, giving me time to enjoy a few days in Sicily with the bike before WDW, and saving the tedious slog back through the northern half of France at the end of the trip, which has always been the least enjoyable part, having left the mountains behind.

Good on you, it makes complete sense to do it that was and save the 1,600 miles total to and from Geneva

everyone rides to the track in t shirts and shorts and most of the pillions only wear bikinis

enjoy

My favourite bit (other than eating out ) was the guided ride out with a bunch of mad Italians on Diavels to San Marino

Very cheap and included food and a glass of wine

If you don't do the tour at least visit San Marino :O)
