Rimini Loop
The tour par excellence! We start from the Arch of Augustus, climbing the first hill behind the sea at Covignano. Up and down, we venture into landscapes adorned with vineyards and wheat fields. At Faetano begins the real challenge: the ascent to San Marino. A steady but challenging climb with a chance to catch your breath just before the halfway point, then up and up to the highest tower, from which the view rewards all the effort. Once rested, the long descent begins toward Acquaviva and a brief flat stretch to the short climb leading to the Verucchio fortress overlooking the Valmarecchia. We're on the way back, using gravity to glide gently toward the sea, enjoying splendid panoramas. Before finishing, a stop to admire the Bridge of Tiberius, and then back in the center of Rimini.
Rimini to San Leo
The alchemist's tour! The Arch of Augustus marks the start of the most evocative journey through the Valmarecchia valley. We swiftly ride via Sant'Aquilina to conquer Torraccia, then climb steadily. From the summit we descend to Chiesanuova and enjoy the landscape that from Montemaggio captivated even the riders of the 2024 Tour de France. From here begins the long climb toward San Leo — challenging and reserved for true explorers seeking adventure. The final ramps to reach the fortress take your breath away, but the satisfaction when you first glimpse the castle perched on bare rock is unforgettable! After a well-earned break, we head back down the Valmarecchia valley, taking the Passo delle Siepi — the legendary climb of the Nove Colli Gran Fondo. From there, Gorolo guides us toward Santarcangelo di Romagna and then down through gentle hills toward the sea. A visit to the Bridge of Tiberius is a must, and then off to the beach for a well-deserved dip!
San Francesco Tree & Montebello Gravel
A gravel adventure along the Marecchia river! Starting from the Bridge of Tiberius in the heart of Rimini, we follow the Marecchia cycle path with its vibrant murals, past ancient willows and poplar groves. The route winds through riverside paths to the legendary Tree of San Francesco — a 500-year-old mulberry tree of deep spiritual significance. From here we tackle the gravel climb to the hilltop village of Montebello, home to a medieval castle with sweeping views over the Valmarecchia valley. The return trip offers golden-hour vistas of the valley before looping back along quiet country lanes.
Rimini to San Marino
A classic climb to the world's oldest republic! From Rimini, we ride up through the Covignano hills and the charming village of Faetano, with spectacular views of San Marino's iconic three towers. The climb winds past ancient stone walls and medieval gates, ascending to the summit of Mount Titano where three fortified peaks — Guaita, Cesta, and Montale — stand sentinel. Explore the cobbled alleys, tunnels carved into the rock, and dramatic cliff-top viewpoints before the exhilarating descent back toward the Adriatic coast.
