With CYCLOsportive we will stay in various accommodations along the route. We start in Florence and will return to Florence after five days of cycling.
Of course, there must be a good meal in the evening. We will do this in the hotel restaurant or in a restaurant nearby.
At CYCLOsportive we love attractive accommodations. Don't expect large, cold, fluorescent-lit dining rooms in a building without character. The picture must be correct on the bicycle, but certainly also next to the bicycle.

Day 1:
For the participants this is the travel day to Florence. After dinner we will inform the group about the program.

Day 2:
On day 2 we will leave at 9:30 am for a group ride. After a long trip to Tuscany we start slowly. A 94 km drive to Siena. We let as much gravel as possible slide under our wheels
Ride: 94 km with 1700 meters of elevation gain

Day 3:
On day 3 we will leave at 9:30 am for the second group ride. This time we will end in Sarteano where we will spend the night at Rifugio Pietraporciana.
Ride: 104 km with 2150 meters of elevation gain

Day 4:
It's starting to get boring :-). At 9.30 we will be outside the gate of the Rifugio again to guide you on another beautiful ride through the Tuscan hills with the finish in Buonconvento. Maybe your bike is starting to rattle from all that gravel. And that's why we brought a mechanic with us. Make use of it! On day four another ride with a lot of gravel, no less than 65% unpaved!
Ride: 101 km with 1920 meters of elevation gain

Day 5:
Another day on which we enjoy the gravel roads in Tuscany. Another day of collecting dust, another day of ordering a delicious espresso. Enjoy another day of CYCLOsportive care. A 99 km drive to Asciano.
Ride: 99 km with 1940 meters of elevation gain

Day 6:
The last day on which we enjoy the gravel roads in Tuscany. We will cycle to Florence via Siena in a ride of 108 km. We will definitely have a coffee in the beautiful Piazza del Campo in the heart of Siena.
Ride: 108 km with 2000 meters of elevation gain

Day 7:
On the last day we wish all our guests a successful journey back home.

For Strade Bianche Trail we expect you to be in good condition. Participants must be able to cycle 80-100 km every day with an elevation gain of 1,500-2,000 metres. That requires good preparation. But don't be afraid to take on the challenge either. We have all day and along the way we will stop for a nice cup of coffee and enjoy a nice lunch!
