This is the ultimate cycling challenge: Ride Every Kilometre of one of the Grand Tours on the same day... and the Giro d’Italia is typically the toughest!

We'll be riding on exactly the same route as the race, every single kilometre, just a few hours ahead of the pros. That's over 3,300km, and 44,000+ metres of climbing, over 21 stages.

“There is nothing quite like riding on the full route of the Giro d’Italia, with thousands of supporters on the road cheering us on and the peloton only an hour or two behind us.” – Keith Tuffley, Founder of Grand Tours Project and the mind behind the “Ride Every Kilometre” concept.

We’re offering amateur cyclists the unique opportunity to ride every kilometre of every stage of the Giro on the same day as the race. Start with the Grand Partenza in Albania, an exhilarating opening to the Giro d’Italia, before crossing to Italy to ride from the iconic Alberobello in Puglia, through the wild Apennines, and finishing in the historic charm of Siena. Continue through Tuscany, across the picturesque Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions, and into Slovenia. Conquer the renowned AOC Prosecco vineyards, tackle Monte Grappa, and navigate the breathtaking Asiago Prealps. Finally, take on the Italian Alps, with a grand finish in Rome, promising a truly epic mountain challenge.

You don’t need to be an elite athlete, but you do need to be fit and ready for consecutive long days in the saddle. Expect early starts and long rides, sometimes finishing just an hour ahead of the race leaders. There’s always time for coffee, lunch, and photo stops along the way.

Spaces are limited to two groups with a ratio of 7 cyclists to 1 guide, accompanied by a support vehicle. As an Official Tour Operator, we’ll have full support throughout, ensuring you reach the finish line each day. Riding the race course just hours before the pros is an unforgettable experience.
