Description

Day 1: Hotel - Montefiore Conca (45 km; +550 m) or Hotel - Coriano (60 km; +950 m)

Begin your enchanting bicycle journey in the picturesque Conca Valley, a place filled with unique scenic surprises. You will depart from the hotel at 2:00 PM after picking up your bikes and embark on a route that will offer you breathtaking views and picturesque glimpses. Your ride will take you to Morciano di Romagna, passing through villages steeped in history.

For the more adventurous, the climb to Montefiore Conca is a must. You will be greeted by the majestic Malatesta Castle, appearing to float between the sky and hills. On the way back, indulge in a stop at Cantina Enio Ottaviani: an explosion of authentic flavors, from excellent wine to local cheeses and salami, awaits to enrich your experience.

Returning to the hotel will conclude the day, allowing you to relax and rejuvenate. Dinner will be on your own, providing an opportunity to explore the culinary delights of the area before enjoying a restful sleep in Gabicce Monte.

Day 2: Via Panoramica - Pesaro (55 km; +770 m) or Tavullia - Fano (85 km; +1,100 m)

Today, your cycling adventure takes you through the enchanting regions of Romagna and Marche. The highlight of the route will be the magnificent Gradara Castle, made famous by Dante in his Divine Comedy. The views will then guide you through historic villages up to Fano, a town immersed in Roman and medieval history, overlooking the sea.

The final stretch through the Via Panoramica is a unique experience: one of the most beautiful roads in Italy among woods, cliffs, and ancient villages like Fiorenzuola di Focara. Back at Gabicce Monte, a breathtaking view of Baia Verde Blu and a well-deserved gastronomic break with local specialties await you.

After a day filled with excitement, a well-earned siesta will be ideal, followed by the opportunity to dine on your own and spend another night in the little gem that is Gabicce Monte.

Day 3: Saludecio - Montefabbri (40 km; +780 m) or Mombaroccio - Borgo Massano (85 km; +1,700 m)

In the heart of the lands of the Malatesta and Montefeltro Dukes, you will find a land rich in history and incredible natural beauty. You will cycle through fortified villages that have inspired artists like Piero della Francesca and Leonardo da Vinci for centuries.

In Saludecio, admire murals and colorful buildings, while in Mondaino, don't miss a tasting of the famous fossa cheese. The village of Montegridolfo, an authentic gem, awaits discovery. The Ride course will add a stop in Mombaroccio.

The day concludes with a pleasant light lunch by the pool at the agritourism, where a refined three-course dinner will await to end this adventure beautifully. Overnight in Borgo Massano.

Day 4: Urbino - Furlo (40 km; +790 m, return by van) or Urbania (90 km; +1,450 m)

The last stage of the journey is dedicated to discovering the Marche, a land of gentle hills and breathtaking landscapes that will surprise you with their flavors. Urbino, a symbol of the Marche, will welcome you with its history and embracing architecture.

Continuing towards Fermignano and Acqualagna, you cannot resist a stop to savor the delicacies with white truffle. Finally, you will reach the Furlo Gorge, a uniquely charming canyon with emerald green colors reflecting exceptional natural beauty.

After a final relaxing stretch along the river, your return to the agritourism will be comfortable thanks to the transfer. For the more daring, the Ride route will take you to Urbania before returning to the hotel. Enjoy a break in the agritourism's SPA to conclude the journey in relaxation. The return to Gabicce/Cattolica will mark the end of services, bidding farewell to an extraordinary two-wheel adventure.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
