There is a beautiful inner region, in the provinces of Firenze and
Arezzo, that would be quite worthwhile exploring. Little traffic,
stunning forests, monestaries and ancient secluded places. Check out
these names: La Verna, Poppi, Camaldoli, Futa, La Calla, San Godenzo,
Muraglione, Stia, Badia Prataglia, Vallombrosa.

Thanks, I put those on my private page of places to ride in Tuscany. Maybe
you should put some of those ideas on a public personal web page -- to make
it easier for visiting cyclists to find them in a web search.

I found my copy of the guidebook, Garfagnana by Bicycle, by Lucia + Bruno
Giovanetti. Very detailed, and showing a special love for that area, it was
translated into English by Peter Barrow around 2000. It's mostly mountain
biking, also with five short road touring routes around Castelnuovo and
Piazza al Serchio. It does have a loop route which includes the climb to San
Pellegrino in Alpe, but much of the other half of their loop is unpaved.
