Dama Dream Ride

Ride with the Bianchi Damas on a very special private bike tour in the Le Marche Region of Central Italy, the heart of the Apennines!  From white-pebble beaches and cliff-backed Adriatic bays to medieval hill towns and snow-capped peaks, Le Marche is one of Italy’s little known treasures. Sandwiched between the Apennines and the Adriatic coast, this hilly region boasts a string of exquisite provincial towns.  Chief among them is Urbino, whose beautifully preserved Centro Storico (historic center) recalls its heyday as a Renaissance cultural center and the birthplace of the artist Raphael.  Much of the region remains relatively tourist-free and unknown, including its deeply traditional food.  Blessed with the bounty from the mountains, farmland, and sea, Le Marche produces a varied, seasonal cuisine and truly distinctive wines. For seven unforgettable days of cycling, we are led by our expert native Italian expert cycling guide, Giacomo Rossi to experience the most spectacular roads in all of Italy. Giacomo will not only teach us about the history and culture of the region but each day he will host coaching clinics focusing on cycling techniques and skills.  We guarantee that by the end of the seven days you will not make new cycling BFFs, be thoroughly inspired and transformed but you WILL be a better cyclist!
