Ciclismo Classico - Bike Across Italy

Ciclismo Classico's award-winning bike tour! Pedal Coast-to-Coast through Italys Cultural Soul! This coast-to-coast tour passes through four of Italys most beautiful regions: Le Marche, Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany, each known for its charming hilltowns, lush landscapes and unique cuisines. We begin in Fano, a small resort town on the Adriatic Coast, just north of Ancona. We then pedal inland to Urbino, where we cycle along rivers, which have carved deep ravines through the lush mountains. We stop at the spectacular Grotte di Frasassi, Italys largest known caves. We then enter the gentle landscape of Umbria, which has inspired poets and painters from Dante to Raphael. The peaceful rhythm of this region envelops us in Assisi, the birthplace of St Francis, where friars wander the narrow streets and birds cast playful shadows on the pink stone. We pedal south through Umbrian meadows to the Etruscan settlement of Todi and on to Orvieto, a delightful city atop a volcanic plateau known for its magnificent cathedral and crisp white wine. We wind through fields of poppies, wild broom and orchids to Italys picturesque Costa DArgento (Silver Coast). We conclude our journey across Italy on the Monte Argentario promontory, known for its captivating beauty and excellent seafood.

Per carità ben vengano le ciclabili perche anch'io ama mountain bike , però un treno sarebbepiù utile forse per chi lavora studia , con quella che costano i carburanti ...
