You can put your bike on the train for a small fee as long as you're outside of normal commuting hours (the ride was on a public holiday so no problems). So I took the train to Legnano early morning where the brevet started.
I sat in a bunch for the ride to Como and then mostly did my own thing enjoying the scenery from there on. The drivers are crazy and the roads pot holed but the scenery made up for it.
I rented from Milano Bike Renting, they delivered to my hotel in Milan. Check out their route pages.
