Cycle The Queen of Granfondo

The Gran Fondo Nove Colli is one of the oldest and biggest cycling events in Italy. Every year there are over 12,000 riders who want to complete the ”Nine Hills Gran Fondo”. It’s a must-do event for every cyclist. Now that the single registrations have sold out, there are still registrations available with a hotel package.

You’ll be able to enjoy beforehand the panoramas and the old villages scattered in the hills. Discover views and hidden corners that on the day of the race you’ll probably not appreciate. It will also be great to see other towns, that are not included in the itinerary of the race but have contributed to making Romagna famous. Hard training moments will be followed by culinary moments where you’ll enjoy the typical kitchen of Romagna, and you’ll be able to restore strength and “feed” your legs. The training programs have been studied in a way that you can participate even if you’ve enrolled in the short race. The 3-star Bike hotel offers all cyclists excellent facilities for the Gran Fondo Nove Colli. The hotel has safe bike storage.

Day 2
Thursday
Your first training ride around Cesenatico! The region is a land of cyclists and the birthplace of Marco Pantani, the great climber, who trained in the hinterland hills and got 46 career victories! The hills in the backyards of Cesenatico are sometimes gentle and sometimes steep. You’ll ride among olive groves and vineyards.

Friday

Day 4
Saturday
Last ride before tomorrow’s big ride! Cesenatico is a tourist resort town right on the Adriatic coast of Italy. It is located in the Emilia Romagna district. Cycling around the beautiful resort town of Cesenatico goes back a long way. Many professional cyclists have trained in the hills around the town; including the iconic Italian hero Marco Pantani, who was born in Cesenatico. From the hills to the sea: you can find out all about the inland and the traditions of local Romagna cuisine. Check your bike before also there will be a short briefing and hand-over of the bib numbers. Perhaps you have questions left so don’t hesitate to ask the guides for any information you need! In the evening a pasta dinner will be provided.
Day 5
Sunday
Finally, the day of the race! After an early breakfast, this is your moment! It's time to use your energy and replace it with the emotions of the race. The competition is the most famous in Italy. There is an average of more than 12 thousand participants each year. There are two different course lengths:
  • You can choose between 3 routes:
  • The long route (189 km, with an ascent of 3.265 metres) has a big change on the last hill, which will no longer be the Gorolo, replaced instead by the Sogliano climb: 4 kilometres of hard work with stretches at 10% and then down the Cioca with 18 hairpin bends - known as the "Little Stelvio" - in one of the most beautiful downhills in Romagna.
  • The medium route (132 km with an ascent of 1.827 metres) instead will stay more or less unchanged with the only difference after the Barbotto climb where at kilometre 95 there will be the gate with the splitting between the two routes.
  • To finally please even the most enjoyable , possibly untrained, there will be a 60 km "The other ride", with an ascent of 438 metres and a maximum height of 363 metres.No timing chips, several refreshments with typical products and a more leisurely pace. Even the start will be quiet, you can enjoy the bed a little longer!
