In its 9th edition this classically Italian Gran Fondo was named after Vincenzo Nibali, aka ‘The Shark’ and will take you from Gabicce Monte (named the City of Cycling) with breath-taking views of the Adriatic Riviera of Romagna and Marche and the Natural Park of Monte San Bartolo.
This event has a field of circa 3000 riders and is one of Italys top 5 hidden secret gems of a Gran Fondo , which I have have personally ridden. It has a great feeling about it and with two distances there’s something for everybody and both challenging.
Our Hotel is 500 meters from the sign on and event start , with a fantastic Expo at the sign on. Our hotel has a swimming pool and is 100 meters from the beach and 100 meters from numbers shops , bars , coffee shops and restaurants , a location to keep you occupied on and off the bike.
Hotel Senior is a great three star family run hotel which I am a personal friend and can honestly say they definitely look after their customers.
