When you think of the Adriatic coast, the first things that spring to mind are beaches, gelato and the Italian dolce vita.

It is precisely this combination that makes a road cycling holiday on the Adriatic coast so special – between Cesenatico, the rolling hills around Bertinoro and the first challenging climbs of the Apennines, Italian culture of enjoyment meets genuine passion for road cycling. Here, great emotions meet sporting ambition.
