With CYCLOsportive we will stay at Hotel Borgo Grondaie in Siena in double rooms, with two single beds. Borgo Grondaie is ideally located just 2 km from the start/finish. From the accommodation it is easy to walk to the center of Siena!

We will arrive in Siena on Thursday and fly back to the Netherlands on Monday.

Of course, there must be a good meal in the evening. A chef will prepare a real sports meal especially for the guests of CYCLOsportive. We do everything we can to ensure that you are optimally prepared at the start.

Day 1:
If you fly to Florence with KLM at 10:05 AM, you will be picked up at 12:00 PM and taken to the hotel. After arrival we get on our bikes for a short ride through the Tuscan hills. Participants who travel to Tuscany with their own transport can also join us for lunch if they arrive early and travel the first kilometers with us.
A circuit of only 40 km with an elevation gain of around 435 metres. We immediately went to see what the Strade Bianche was like and found a few nice gravel strips on a 40 km circuit! In Siena we can share our first experiences on the terrace while enjoying a cup of coffee.

Day 2:
On day 2 we will leave again at 9:30 am for a group ride. This time we ride a beautiful ride of 65 km with an elevation gain of 985 meters. Halfway through the ride we will eat the lunch we brought with us and drink coffee at a beautiful spot. After the ride, CYCLOsportive will collect the starting tickets for the participants in Siena. There is also plenty of time to visit this beautiful city yourself. There is a good chance that we will see many pros exploring the course today.

Day 3:
Day 3 is the day that the pros (women and men) ride their Strade Bianche. Everyone has the choice to watch the finish in Siena, or to watch the pros somewhere along the route. We leave at 9:30 am for a short ride of 30 km. There will then be plenty of time to watch the women's and men's races.
Group ride of 30 km with 450 meters of elevation

Day 4:
Early breakfast. At 6:30 we cycle to Siena. There we have starting tickets for the second starting grid. At 8:00 the participants of the Granfondo are shot off for 138 km with 40 km gravel. GF Strade Bianche!

Day 5:
After breakfast, the participants will be taken to the airport, where the plane will depart for Amsterdam around 1 p.m.

*Do you want to travel more or fewer kilometers prior to the Granfondo? Which can. The cycling guide is happy to go out with you for an extra tour. You can also travel alone, let us know and we will provide you with a beautiful route.

In March, most people don't have many kilometers in their legs yet. Is that necessary to participate in the trip to GF Strade Bianche? Yes and no. Do you want to go for a fast time? Then you must of course be fully prepared and trained at the start. Do you just want to enjoy a beautiful day through the Tuscan landscape and is time not important? That is possible! If you have a good basic condition, you are able to cycle the Granfondo.
