The gran fondo
The Gran Fondo Riccione is one of the great amateur cycling events of the Italian spring, open to cyclists from around the world. A chance to ride through spectacular scenery — between the Adriatic Riviera and the hills of Marche and the Republic of San Marino — side by side with hundreds of fellow enthusiasts, on roads closed to traffic, just like professionals, but with nothing but the joy of riding in mind. For experienced gran fondo riders it is an extra challenge to enjoy on the roads of a cycling holiday; for first-timers, it is an unforgettable day with support, rest stops along the route and a big buffet at the finish.
