Cycle The Queen of Granfondo

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. It will also be great to see other towns, that are not included in the itinerary of the race but have contributed to making Romagna famous. Hard training moments will be followed by culinary moments where you’ll enjoy the typical kitchen of Romagna, and you’ll be able to restore strength and “feed” your legs. The training programs have been studied in a way that you can participate even if you’ve enrolled in the short race. The 3-star Bike hotel offers all cyclists excellent facilities for the Gran Fondo Nove Colli. The hotel has safe bike storage.
