Advanced Bike

This itinerary is a long, challenging journey that will satisfy your every expectation.

Let’s start from Cesenatico, a nice seaside resort on the Adriatic Coast. You bikers, won’t forget to visit the Spazio Pantani to retrace the incredible career of Marco Pantani.

Let’s leave behind us Cesenatico now and through small villages let’s reach Cesena, a place of great historical and artistic interest. Cycling to S. Carlo there are some ups and downs until you get to Mercato Saraceno, an beautiful place for a stop. After the bridge over the Savio river the ascent of Barbotto begins, with an average gradient of 7%. The last 5.5 km are really hard, with a slope of 15% and acceleration of 18%! The descent begins only after Montegelli, then you reach Sogliano, well known for its formaggio di fossa (cheese of the pit). Now the hardest part of the trail is over. Passing through villages, we reach Savignano, known for the Roman bridge and Julius Caesar. Once here, we recommend a stop at Castle Ribano, where you can taste wines among the most valuable of Romagna. Tired but satisfied, we finally go back to Cesenatico.
