Day 1 – Dublin to Bologna

Fly from Dublin to Bologna. Transfer to your hotel in Riccione, in the beautiful cycling region of Emilia Romagna. Check-in, dinner and overnight.

Day 2 to 6 – Cycling

Breakfast at your hotel. Cycling tours accompanied by professional cycling guides with packed lunch included. We know that when you’re cycling it isn’t great to be left behind or to have to wait for those who aren’t as fit as you either! That’s why we always organise 5 groups for different preparation levels, each with a maximum of 15/18 cyclists. Cyclists can thus choose the right group for them, ensuring everyone gets the most fun from this great sport. Choose your favourite group for your bike holiday in Italy. Each group has its own professional cycling guide.

• • • • GROUP 1: LA DOLCE VITA BIKE EXPERIENCE – Participants in the Bikeness® La Dolce Vita programmes use their bicycles to help them discover the territory with itineraries of circa 35km a day. That’s why we cycle in tranquillity, admiring the surrounding views and without worrying about the kilometre indicator, the average speed or the total distance covered uphill. Easy and fun trips during with plenty of time to take a break or a photo or have a coffee and lots of laughs. Naturally, we also tackle some climbs, but at our own pace.
      • GROUP 2: CAPPUCCINO LIGHT – Itineraries of 55/90 km per day, average speed 17-19 km/h. For cyclists who are not so well-trained and enjoy climbing at a lower and less intensive speed. The distances are shorter and the average speed is moderate.  
      • GROUP 3: CAPPUCCINO – Itineraries of 70/100 km per day, average speed 20-22 km/h. For cyclists who not only love to cycle but also to enjoy nature and landscapes. Recommended for fairly well-trained cyclists.
      • GROUP 4: CAPPUCCINO SUPER – Itineraries of 70/100 km per day. Driven by the same philosophy as the Cappuccino group, but a little more “sporty”. The same distance is covered but at an average speed of 23-25 km/h. Recommended for well-trained cyclists.  
      • GROUP 5: LIMONCINO – Itineraries of 90/120 km per day, average speed 26-28 km/h. For cyclists who love a challenge and want to suffer a little. Designed for sports enthusiasts or well-trained cyclists who have already covered between 2,000 and 2,500 km and want to really enjoy some of our great climbs.

If you are not going cycling you can spend the day at the hotel where there is a small pool, wellness centre and other activities. Riccione is a seaside resort and is one of the most popular destinations on the Adriatic Coastline of Northern Italy. The area offers an array of activities and attractions to enjoy at leisure. You can explore dozens of fashionable boutiques, cafes and bars and take in some warm sunshine on Riccione’s stunning beach, only a few minutes walk from the hotel. You could also book tours or excursions locally.

Dinner and overnight at hotel.
