Overview

An exploratory fixed base cycling vacation on Sicily. The trip is for riders who don’t dislike beautiful historical towns, great food traditions and neither the easy logistics provided by our bike center close at hand. Our rides reproduce the same varied cycling conditions of the professional race, with unpredictably different riding days, featuring coastline, rolling hills inland, medium distance to super long climbs. The focus of this trip is enjoy riding challenging stages that include the best roads selection from the Giro d'Italia race course along the years, making us bring back home only the best cycling rides the Etna's area can offer.
