Emilio Romagne Region Cycling Tour - May 16 - 24, 2010
Featuring Nove Colli
Our cycling tour is based out of one of Riccione's finest 3 star hotel properties. The hotel is located just 50m from the shores of the Adriatic Sea. We have organized 8-days of supreme cycling through one of Italy's most beautiful regions. Every morning you will be treated to a hearty breakfast to fuel your efforts for the day ahead on the roads cycled by famous professional cycling teams. Daily, each cyclist will have the flexibility to select from one of 3 or 4 routes, which vary in distance, speed and
difficulty. We have designed our cycling itineraries to match your fitness of desires for the utmost enjoyment.

Each group will be organized and led by an experienced cyclist. All groups will visit century old towns such as Urbino, Cesena, San Leo and the Republic of San Marino to name a few. On Your
daily rides each group will make at least one stop to rest, refuel and enjoy Italy's culture. Daily each group departs the hotel at 9:30 am and returns around 2:30 pm. No one is left behind during any of our rides, ensuring a fun, safe and enjoyable environment.
