Guys
Just trying to suss out flights home.
For those that have done it is 4 days realistic time to complete the route and get back to Pisa?
Cheers

It is if you're Steve Large ... not so much if you're someone else :wink:

My return flight is Tuesday night, so that's my plan

Garmin Italy maps arrived, so I can geek the route. :)

Getting back to Pisa is the time consuming bit.
The train is on a regional line, so there was only one every 2 hours and then I recall it was a good 2-3 hours back to Pisa, so easily half a day consumed there.

In 2015 I arrived at the finish at midnight on the fourth day and that was with 4 long days (15, 12, 14 and 15 hours riding respectively) in the saddle at quite a slow pace.

So not impossible to do in 4 days for a mere mortal but as Chew says you also need to allow time to travel back to Pisa too.
