Sun 8th March 2020

Organiser's Description

Our packages include return airport transfers, half board accommodation, guided warm up ride & sportive entry. 3 night trips available.

One of the modern classics of the sportive calendar and the first classic pro race & Granfondo of the season - an undulating route on the famous white roads of Tuscany. Take on the gravel, with a killer finish into stunning Siena.

The pro race stems from a sportive set up in the late 90s in this region called L;Erioca, which celebrated the golden age of cycling where amateurs would ride old bikes in retro kit over stunning Tuscan roads. This became so popular the pros wanted a race on the same terrain, and to come full circle there is now a granfondo for the pro race, which is based on a sportive.
