Come to the charming town of Pesaro on the Adriatic Sea and spend 7 days riding your heart out. Enjoy a pleasant, welcoming hotel just steps from the beach; buffet breakfasts, afternoon riding munchies; typical Italian-style hearty dinners including wine; and more. Pesaro offers wonderful shopping, an historic center with many interesting sites, a fun weekly market, the most beautiful road to ride a bike on, aptly named the Panoramica, and at the end of that road, the best bikeshop in Italy, Cicli Tonti.
Our hotel is right on the beach with wonderful views from the private balconies. Enjoy the olympic-size outdoor pool - yes there is poolside bar service, a private fitness center with a sauna, free internet access, a huge bike storage room with tools and equipment at your disposal. There is even bike clothing laundry service available for your convenience!
The Marche region offers everything from flat rolls along the coast to challenging climbs. Enjoy rides to Urbino, the Gola di Furlo, enchanting walled hilltop towns, and lush green fields. The landscapes look like they popped out of a Renaissance painting and the area has yet to be inundated by the tourist mobs.
Our tour will conclude a trip up to Cesenatico with a stay at the luxurious Grand Hotel and the opportunity to participate in the Nove Colli Gran Fondo Marco Pantani. You just can't imagine what it's like to be in a town entirely taken over by cyclists. Pre-race, we've got an amazing bike fair with lots of special events and fantastic bargains. See: www.novecolli.it to learn more aobut the course. Join thousands of Italians and other cyclists as they climb the nine hills (nove colli) during the 210 kilometer ride (a shorter, 130 km option is also available) in the heartland of Italian cycling. A not to be missed event!
