E-Bike 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: After a 5km meter along the main road the third climb of the day brings you directly to 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
