Former Canadian national team rider Alison Testroete reached out to us from Italy:

Hi Rob,

I'm writing about a new project I've started that may be of interest to your readers. It's been a while since I've participated in Canadian Cycling, but I do hope I'm not forgotten!

After living in Italy and working in the travel/tours industry for several years, I'm offering cycling trips in Lucca and around Tuscany. It's my own small business focused on riding, relationships, and Italian culture. Would you help spread the word?

Readers can learn more on my website at www.luccacyclingclub.com; and are welcome to sign up for my newsletter where I will be writing a monthly blog, follow my Instagram feed and, of course, come and ride with me in Italy!
