Cycle The Queen of the Gran Fondo’s

The Gran Fondo Nove Colli is one of the oldest and biggest cycling events in Italy. Every year there are over 12,000 riders who want to complete the ”Nine Hills Gran Fondo”. It’s a must-do event for every cyclist. Now that the single registrations have sold out, there are still registrations available with a hotel package. You’ll be able to enjoy beforehand the panoramas and the old villages scattered in the hills. Discover views and hidden corners that on the day of the race you’ll probably not appreciate. You’ll also have the opportunity to discover other towns that may not feature on the race itinerary but have played an important role in making Romagna famous.

After challenging training sessions, you’ll enjoy well-deserved culinary experiences, tasting Romagna’s traditional dishes and replenishing your energy to keep your legs going!

From the hills to the sea: you can find out all about the inland and the traditions of local Romagna cuisine. Check your bike before also there will be a short briefing and hand-over of the bib numbers. Perhaps you have questions left so don’t hesitate to ask the guides for any information you need!

Sunday May 23 - Gran Fondo day

Finally, the day of the race! After an early breakfast, this is your moment! It's time to use your energy and replace it with the emotions of the race. The competition is the most famous in Italy. There is an average of more than 12 thousand participants each year. There are two different course lengths:

You can choose between 3 routes:
The long route (189 km, with an ascent of 3.265 metres) has a big change on the last hill, which will no longer be the Gorolo, replaced instead by the Sogliano climb: 4 kilometres of hard work with stretches at 10% and then down the Cioca with 18 hairpin bends - known as the "Little Stelvio" - in one of the most beautiful downhills in Romagna.
The medium route (132 km with an ascent of 1.827 metres) instead will stay more or less unchanged with the only difference after the Barbotto climb where at kilometre 95 there will be the gate with the splitting between the two routes.
To finally please even the most enjoyable , possibly untrained, there will be a 60 km "The other ride", with an ascent of 438 metres and a maximum height of 363 metres.No timing chips, several refreshments with typical products and a more leisurely pace. Even the start will be quiet, you can enjoy the bed a little longer!
