Rimini to San Leo

About this tour

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!
