Day 2

We’ll be going north towards Tuscia, an area where the Etruscans once lived. It is one of Italy’s largest hazelnut grove districts, the little brown nut that Ferrero marvelously converts into the delicious Nutella cream.

After a short stop for your first strong Italian coffee in Civita Castellana, we’ll continue riding: first along the scenic coastline roads of Lake Vico and Lake Bolsena, and then on the beautiful backroads of Val D’Orcia – a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In Radicofani, a small Medieval village at the feet of a majestic fortress dated 973 AD, we will stop for lunch. This delightful town has been awarded an Orange Flag – an award given by the Italian Touring Club award for less-known, well-kept tourist sites, promoted since 1998.

On the way to Siena we stop to visit Pienza, considered to be the incarnation of a Renaissance utopia and an ideal city. Today it continues to show off to the world its refined and sophisticated Renaissance urban plan: its spaces and perspective onto its 15th-Century “piazza and palazzo” are organized according to the era’s ideals of rationality and humanism.

Back on the bikes we ride the sweeping roads that cross the Crete Senesi, famous for its stunning moonscape.

For your first dinner in Siena, you will be pampered by Mrs.Letizia, proprietor of a lovely 16th century Inn, to celebrate your first wonderful riding day in Italy.
OVERNIGHT IS IN SIENA (The hotel has a swimming pool).

Day 3

Ready to be truly astounded by the fantastic roads of Tuscany? Impressive landscapes, great art, excellent food! During the first part of the morning we will be heading south riding on roads that are true bliss for bikers: ample bends, long, breathtaking stretches of asphalt, amazing landscapes, miles of Italian vineyards, and many beautiful stately villas.

Our first stop will be in San Galgano where we shall visit its beautiful Abbey (that has no roof), and the small church of Montesiepi, where our very own “sword in the rock” myth originated.

Getting back on the bikes we will reach the superb hill-top town of San Gimignano, with its splendid Medieval atmosphere and imposing 13th-Century walls, also named “La città delle Torri” (the City of Towers).
As quoted by Italia.it: “A masterpiece of creative human genius, it is unique testimony to a past civilization, and as an exceptional exemplar of both architectonic complex and landscape, demonstrates significant passages in human history.” These are some of the characteristics that put San Gimignano on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1990.

On the road again, we will ride the lesser-known roads of the region of Chianti, heading north to Greve in Chianti, birthplace to Giovanni da Verrazzano: the renown Italian explorer who was the first to sail into what today is known as the New York Bay.

Back on our bikes again and South towards Siena, sweeping along for more fantastic kilometers on the outstanding Chianti roads.

We’ll spend the night strolling around the narrow streets of the beautiful town of Siena. With the perfect restaurant we’ll celebrate another day that you’ll will remember fondly when you are back home!
OVERNIGHT IS IN SIENA.

Day 4

Today starts out by riding the Strada Statale Chiantigiana and continues along the winding roads that will lead us through the mountains that separate Tuscany from Emilia Romagna.
We’ll be stopping to visit Vinci, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance polymath: the great Leonardo.

Passing Pistoia our right hands are in for a workout as we challenge the twisty roads of the Tosco-Emiliano Pennines.

And by sunset we’ll be in Borgo Panigale: the City of Speed…the City of the Ducati!
OVERNIGHT IS IN BORGO PANIGALE.

Day 5

This morning we will be visiting the Ducati Factory and Museum, where the passion for two wheels comes to life. Ducati represents the exclusive motorcycle philosophy that blends Italian genius and contemporary, avant-garde technology. They know how to make one damn sensual bike!

Having filled our eyes and heart with beauty, we’ll be twisting the throttle, challenging the never-ending curves of the Tosco-Emiliano Pennines. With adrenaline pumping in our veins, we’ll confront the Raticosa, Futa and Muraglione Passes, three of the most famous motorcycling venues in Italy! This is where every new Ducati is tested.
OVERNIGHT IS IN RIMINI.

Day 6

We spend the morning visiting San Marino which is the oldest Republic in Europe. The heart of San Marino narrates the history of a land for thousands of years suspended between earth and sky. UNESCO has proclaimed San Marino a World heritage site.

And after three hours spent being “good tourists” it is finally time to unleash our passion for motorcycle sport! We get to Marco Simoncelli World Circuit to watch the MotoGP Qualyfing Misano, just a little aperitif of one of the best shows in the world!

In the afternoon we ride the scenic coastline road from Pesaro to Gabicce Monte. Hey, this is not a normal road…it is where Valentino Rossi grew up and learned how to lean and open the throttle!

On the way back to Rimini we stop in Coriano the birthplace of Marco Simoncelli. We will visit the museum dedicated to him.
OVERNIGHT IS IN RIMINI.

Day 7

This is it! Nothing compares to the excitement of watching MotoGP live!<br />

Day 8

We leave Rimini heading towards Tavullia, home of the great Valentino Rossi! Just enough time to get some souvenirs of the Doctor and then we get back on the bikes to ride up and down on the roads of the Marchigiano Pennine, where we challenge the twisty Bocca Trabaria Pass.

But the day is still not over! Heading for Orvieto we’ll be stopping at a bar looking over the lovely Lake Trasimeno. The owners of the bar, father and son, are two fervent riders, and will be happy to make us one of the best coffees in Umbria!
We’ll then get onto the scenic SS71, taking a plunge towards Orvieto.

Just to finish the day in the best possible way, we’ll experience a classic “Umbrian Tasting Dinner”, washed down with local wines that the hotel produces from the vineyards that surround it.

OVERNIGHT IS IN ORVIETO. (The hotel in Orvieto has spectacular ‘spa’ amenities such as, an outdoor Jacuzzi, a spa with whirlpool swimming pool, Turkish bath, and sauna. Getting pampered is all part of the experience!)

Day 9

We’ll be finishing in style today. Leaving Orvieto we will head east along an amazing stretch of road called, the “Strada Provinciale 79”. The locals call it ‘La Strada delle Mille Curve’ (the Road of 1000 Curves). And it might be true that the world is too varied to ride the same roads twice… but in this case we are going to make an exception for ‘La Strada delle Mille Curve’: we’ll be riding back and forth over 20 km of pure adrenaline: uphill from Orvieto to Colonetta di Prodo and down again from Colonetta to Orvieto…this road is calling You!

Heading back to Rome we’ll be stopping to take a photo of the enchanted town of Civita di Bagnoregio, floating magically on a tuff rock.

A picnic is going to be our last lunch on the road together. Yes, we will be eating by Lake Vico, surrounded by the lush Cimini Mountains, devouring panini packed full of hand-cured prosciutto and local cheese!

Lunch over, and it’s time to bike-up again, joining the motorway for Rome where we will be returning the bikes. After a quick shower we’ll be ready for dinner, celebrating this fantastic Italian experience.
OVERNIGHT IS IN ROMA.
