Five days in Tuscany built around white roads, race atmosphere and repeated punchy efforts. At 402 km and 6140 m of climbing, this is not the hardest trip in the programme, but it is still a serious cycling weekend rather than an easy Italian escape.

About this trip
Join us for an extraordinary 5-day cycling adventure in the heart of Tuscany, centred around the legendary Strade Bianche race.
This event is designed for cycling enthusiasts eager to experience the challenge of the white gravel roads and ride through the stunning landscapes that make this race one of a kind.
Difficulty: 3/5 - Hard
Gravel sectors, sharp climbs, unpredictable spring conditions, and event intensity make this ride harder than the elevation stats alone suggest. You don't need to be a pure mountain goat, but you do need genuine fitness and confident bike handling to stay safe and enjoy the challenge.
Dining: Meals feature generous, local Tuscan flavors, but lunches and ride stops are strictly scheduled around timing and fueling requirements.
Who this is for: Best for riders who like punchy terrain, race build up and mixed road surfaces. Not for guests booking mainly for Siena, wine and gentle rolling rides.
