Hi,
Myself and my wife are doing a charity bike ride this year, 2013: 'Home 2 Rome' (from Leicestershire). We are after some advice on routes through France and Italy, in particular the best routes through the French Alps. We will be making a stop in Pithiviers in France as our town is twinned with this town, and then looking at possibly heading towards Torino to then head to the west coast of Italy, and follow the coast all the way to Rome. This is still quite sketchy so any advice on roads to avoid, ideal routes etc would be much appreciated. We are cycling in Aug/Sept and are hoping it will take 20 days.
Thanks
Richard

I went to Tome via the St Bernard Pass in 2010 with my 16 year old son. We found it fairly tough but very doable. Would recommend it.0

Im cycling Paris to Florence, solo in June. Ive been using terrain on google maps, and have decided to go from Paris to Troyes to Dijon, to Chambery and cross the Alps on the petit St bernards pass. following through to Aosta and then the pleasant down hill all the way to Florence.. It will be a breeze :shock:0
