Motorbike Race Event in Tuscany: "Tasselli d'epoca"

Today there is a special event being held in Montieri near our hotel in Tuscany.  Men and women from all over Italy have come to participate in a motorbike race/demonstration called, “Campionato Italiano - Gruppo 5 Regolarità - Trofeo Imerio Testori ‘ Tasselli d'Epoca 2013’", or:  the italian championship of old enduro motorbikes.  Soon the riders will start their trip along the trails and roads of Montieri, finishing below the hotel.    It is strange to see such a crowd in our tiny town! The endless miles of scenic dirt trails and the empty asphalt streets makes Montieri the perfect location for motor-cross lovers, and even street-bike fans.  These tracks lead through medieval towns, shady forests, and up and down the hills and valleys of Tuscany.

For today's event they have erected tents, food stops, courses around the mountain, and other activities.  The atmosphere of the whole town is geared toward the motorbike event.  For dinner last night we hosted a few large groups of excited moto-enthusiasts.  What fun!   

Go Montieri and stay with us at our agriturismo in Tuscany, Rifugio Prategiano!
