Roadbike Tour over the hills of Imola

This tour starts at the Grand Hotel Terme in Riolo Terme and brings you directly to the first challenge of the day:

 

KM 3: Cima Gallisterna from Isola which is a climb that has been used in the 2020 Cycling World Championship. It is 2.7km long and bridges 188 vertical meters with an average gradient of 7.1%, resulting in a difficulty score of 195. The top of the ascent is located at 270 meters above sea level. On an E-bike this climb should not be a big problem.

 

KM 5-14: After the climb you can enjoy a long ride going slightly up and down, ending in Imola at the famous racetrack.

 

KM 14-27: After a coffee break at the racetrack the route goes uphill again before it hits the main road between Riolo Terme and Castel Bolognese.

 

KM 27-35: While the E-Bike group continues on the main road, the road bike team can do an extra climb that is rewarded with another great view to the Ravenna region. Afterwards visit Tenuta Masselina, a fantastic wineyard where you can expect good wine and a light lunch. 

 

KM 35-47: The last kilometers are easy going and continue on a relatively flat road passing rural villages.

 

A short cut going along the main road back to Riolo Terme is also possible.  

 

Return to Grand Hotel: around 4-4.30pm
