YOUR RIDE
WHO WOULD ENJOY THIS EXPERIENCE?
The experience is built for all riders able to ride for 3-5 hours. This is a race and high intensity riding, but you can take it as a true cycling adventure across some of the most picturesque region in the world.
During the non-racing days, We will ride as a group on the rolling terrain and as individuals or small groups on the short climbs, so that everyone will enjoy the ride. On top of each major climb we will regroup to celebrate and refill our bottles, and then enjoy the descent together. As a team, we’ll support each other during the ride and make sure everyone finishes safe and happy!
When the race is on, then it's up to you...but we will support you and make sure you get the most out of this beautiful event!
All cyclists interested in exploring a new region, learning about local culture while admiring magnificent scenery will enjoy this incredible experience!
MORE ABOUT THE TERRAIN
We have selected some of the best routes offering a mix of all terrains, but the terrain will be mainly hilly on the the first part and Mountains with some 8-10 km climbs on the second part. The start of each leg is easier to allow riders to get used to the mountains. fThe climbs are long and steady and the gradient is always around 7-8% and when steeper, generally for short distances.
There are some exceptions of course, such as the Mortirolo and the Zoncolan, where the gradient reach 15-17%!
