Every cyclist has heard of the iconic Strade Bianche—that thrilling, dust-filled race across the historic white gravel roads of Tuscany. It’s a modern classic, blending professional racing with the soul of cycling’s golden era.
But what if you could experience it yourself—not from the sidelines, but from the saddle? We’ve created a unique cycling holiday based in the heart of the Chianti region, designed specifically for riders who want to immerse themselves in the magic of Tuscany, challenge themselves on the same gravel sectors as the pros, and ride in one of the most atmospheric amateur events in Europe: the Gran Fondo Strade Bianche.
The events have two routes for you to choose from: the ‘Gran Fondo’ and the ‘Medio Fondo’.
The ‘Gran Fondo’ is 139km with 31.4km of white roads.
The ‘Medio Fondo’ is 86km with 26.6km of white roads.
The start and finish of both routes is the same, with the finish in Piazza Del Campo, the main square of Siena.
We are PARTNER of the TOUR OPERATOR for the Gran Fondo Strade Bianche – Ride Like into the legend!
