Cactus cycling rides Italy

It’s all here bundled in a magnificent package at the Belvedere bike hotel in Riccione, on the Adriatic sea, the Italian Rivera. Four rides to choose from daily of varying levels, distances and mix of climbs. Fantastic scenery, riding with companions from all over the world.

And the food…veggies and more veggies, lean protein, pasta, and crusty bread dipped in locale olive oil…did I mention the deserts! Oh yes, the wine with dinner is also included!

Then there is the wine tasting, cooking class, Italian lessons, a barbecue at Marina’s country’ estate…and they do your bike laundry every night. Mama Mia! I have been dropped into bike nirvana, an exclusive cycling camp for adults, you become one of the familia as Marina’s staff embraces you.
