About this trip
Scenic riding among vineyards, hamlets, and along the Adriatic Sea
Black Girls Do Bike NYC has partnered with Tourissimo to present to you Cycling Emilia Romagna. It’s the opportunity to cycle in an Italian region renowned for its history, art, traditions, food and wine, and fascinating itineraries between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains.
We will ride ancient routes between fortresses, castles and abbeys leading through valleys, open plains and ancient forests. And of course, at the end of the rides we get to enjoy the magnificent Adriatic coastline and the lively Italian atmosphere. Joining Tourissimo on this social vacation is a unique chance to improve your cycling skills and fitness and to discover the traditions of this underrated region which is a true cyclist’s paradise. The area is also famous for its cycling champions. Above all, the unforgettable Marco Pantani, known as 'Il Pirata' because of his shaved head and the bandana and earrings he always wore.
Emilia-Romagna is renowned for its soul-satisfying food. To Italians it is known as the “home-cooking capital of Italy.” To others, it is known as the birthplace of many of the foods that lie at the heart of Italian cooking- lasagna, tortellini, prosciutto di Parma, balsamic vinegar, and “The King of Cheeses,” Parmigiano-Reggiano, to name a few. Hey, we need to fuel those rides!
The price includes accommodation, all meals with soft drink and wine, group transfer from and to the Bologna airport (BLQ), all rides, and access to the hotel's pool. Our partner hotel is located on the laidback Adriatic coast. It features a secure bike room and beach access (seasonal and at an additional price). The staff are extremely accommodating with riders and they will work with Tourissimo to make your vacation unforgettable.
