Back to the Land of Pizza, Wine and White Gravel.
After a year’s break, we’re heading back to wonderful Tuscany. It’s one of those places that is best discovered from the saddle of a gravel bike. Winding roads weaving through the hills, cypress trees rising above the vineyards, stone towns perched on hilltops and landscapes that look like ready-made movie scenes. In May, everything is lush and green, the fields and vineyards are bursting with colour, and the temperatures are perfect for long days on the bike.
This year’s Tuscany camp is a cycling journey across the entire region – we start in Pisa and finish in Florence. For six days, we’ll move from place to place, discovering another part of the region each day. You ride your bike while our support vehicle takes care of the luggage. That way, we can focus on what matters most – riding, views, food and discovering Tuscany.
The route has been designed to show you the very best of Tuscany. Along the way, we’ll visit Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena, ride through the famous Val d’Orcia and reach Montepulciano. Expect medieval towns, vineyards, olive groves, iconic Tuscan cypress-lined roads and countless gravel roads winding through the hills.
Each day takes us somewhere new, with stops wherever they’re worth making – an espresso in a small town, a lunch featuring local cuisine or simply a chance to soak up one of those views that bring people from all over the world to Tuscany.
May is one of the best times to explore Tuscany. The summer heat has yet to arrive, the landscape is intensely green, and the roads and towns are much quieter than during peak season. This is when Tuscany shows its most natural side – slow, sunny and slightly cinematic.
And after a full day on the bike? Italian food, good wine and evenings spent in yet another Tuscan town.

On the way there, we don’t provide a transfer from Pisa Airport – the airport is right next to the city, just a 15-minute walk from our accommodation.

The van leaves Warsaw on 7 May at 17:00. We’ll also stop in Katowice along the way. After the camp, the Endless van will arrive back in Warsaw on the morning of 16 May.
Accommodation
This is a point-to-point trip – almost every night we’ll sleep somewhere different. We’ll stay mainly in typical Tuscan rural villas (usually with a pool), as well as guesthouses. Accommodation is in 2- and 3-person rooms. Almost every accommodation will have access to a washing machine.
Most of the places we stay will also have a kitchen available.
For an additional PLN 1,400, you can book a single room.
Welcome pack
Welcome to the family! ENDLESS is more than just bikes – it’s a set of values and a way of life. We focus on quality accessories – no cheap, mass-produced gear. On the camp, you’ll receive a welcome pack from us:
At the first camp of the year: cycling socks and a water bottle..
The socks are made in Poland by Raso, using high-quality materials. The bottle? BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and most importantly – it does not affect the taste of your drink.
At the second camp of the year: a t-shirt and a bandana.
A high-quality organic cotton t-shirt (230 g/m²) with embroidered chest logo. The bandana is sewn in Poland from soft, lightweight cotton – the most stylish accessory for a gravel look, perfect both on and off the bike.
At the third camp of the year: the Isadore x ENDLESS cycling jersey.
A top-tier summer cycling jersey, designed in collaboration with the Slovak premium cycling apparel brand Isadore. A tailored fit, made in Slovakia from the highest-quality, breathable and soft-to-the-touch fabrics.

Routes
We know Tuscany inside out – both from previous camps and from our own travels. We’ll go for gelato in San Gimignano, make the obligatory stop in Siena and ride substantial sections of classics such as L’Eroica and Strade Bianche. We’ll leave Pienza via the Gladiator Road, ride through the famous Val d’Orcia on its legendary white gravel roads, and taste wine from Chianti and Montepulciano.
But don’t be fooled – Tuscany isn’t just beautiful scenery and perfect gravel roads. It’s a fairly demanding region physically, with very few flat sections. The climbs can be steep, and the white roads aren’t always as smooth and perfect as they look in photos online. As always, we recommend tyres at least 45 mm wide.
Please note: we reserve the right to make changes to the itinerary below, provided they do not significantly affect the distance or total elevation gain.
Guides
Janek
A mountain lover and enthusiast of all things adventure cycling. He loves exploring the world on two wheels, getting others stoked and sharing his experience along the way. He’s been riding in the mountains and taking photos for over 10 years, combining these two passions wherever he goes. The driving force behind Endless, the architect of our routes and camps, and our main photographer.
Doma
Loves to pet doggies and eat jellies. Also rides all year round, regardless of the weather. Apparently, the only kind of cycling she does is romantic cycling. You won't find her at races or on a trainer. But don't get it wrong - she rides over a dozen thousand kilometers every year. The most emphatic part of ENDLESS - always ready to help when needed, and won't leave you behind in the woods.
