he history of Sicily is somewhat tumultuous. Its strategic position at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea made it a valued possession of many foreign powers as well as the battleground for nations at war The natural terrain and pleasant climate of Sicily creates wonderful cycling conditions, especially in the rolling hills of the western region of the island which is the basis of our new, moderatelypaced, tour. The warm sun contributes to the excellence of Sicilian food and wine through the vivid colours and tastes it gives to the fresh local vegetables such as tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, zucchini, olives, oranges and capers. Whilst the focus of our tour is, as always, on excellent riding through beautiful countryside, weve been careful to include time for a little indulgence in the local delicacies!!
