The Randonnee offers two distances and is a very laid back event , it’s probably best classified as an endurance event , with finishing position and times not being the key issue.

200km – 2100m elevation with refreshment stops en-route with control points to pass through the start and finish is at DESENZANO DEL GARDA

144km – 825m elevation with refreshment stops en-route with control points to pass through the start and finish is at DESENZANO DEL GARDA

Gravel riding is becoming more popular , it maybe fair to say the fastest growing area in Cycling.

The Colnago Garda Gravel experience is one of a kind. To make the weekend enjoyable and relaxing, the three routes  start and finish from Piazza Matteotti, on the lakefront of Desenzano del Garda, with the chance of cycling one day, two or all three. The three routes will cross unique locations and panoramas, where history and nature merge into three itineraries close to each other but at the same time with completely different landscapes and totally unique and spectacular features.

Friday 5th April:  Terra del Garda – departure along the Cesare Battisti Lake at 9.30. 75,7 km with 1100 m of elevation gain – possibility of covering a shorter itinerary of 49 km per 500 m

Saturday 6th April: Sentieri della Battaglia – departure along the lake Cesare Battisti at 9.30. 70 km with 600 m of elevation gain – possibility of covering a shorter itinerary of 48 km per 350 m
