The most characteristic courses in Riccione
Thanks to its location, Riccione offers a great variety of courses to choose from that can also lead you to nearby areas like Monte S. Bartolo reserve, or the one that takes you to S.Marino, at the top of Mount Titan, from where you will enjoy a breathtaking landscape. In any case, you will ride trough hills as much as valleys…no change to get bored!
You can also move towards the north, through Marecchia Valley, or take Via Emilia that leads to Cesena. Those are less difficult tours which, however, lead to incredible places, worth a push on the pedals!
Main events for bikers;
-, the very famous ‘Due Passi di Matildica’, in Reggio Emilia whereabouts and another long race, the one dedicated to Marco Pantani, the ‘Nove Colli di Cesenatico’, both in May
- the ‘Gran Fondo Barilla’, Parma, in June
