During our peak season, our Bici Love riders generally have 3 daily rides to choose from, scaled for pace, distance and level of climbing. You can feel free to change your ride level from day to day. However, we encourage you to know your abilities and think about how you ride at home when selecting a daily ride. Selecting a ride most suited to your abilities will make for a happier cycling holiday.
Every ride has at least one, but often two professional guides to lead and look after the needs of the group. You will always be in good hands. We do our best to make your rides both fun and challenging…but not overwhelming. When you sign up for a package, we will send you a questionnaire to help us recommend the best level of riding for you. And, our bike managers are available to discuss ride levels with you and help you determine if a particular ride is appropriate and safe for your level of fitness.
One of our “Pluses” is that we only offer small cycling groups. We don’t take on massive groups of cyclists, but offer a more boutique experience. We lead a maximum of 20-30 cyclists per day and every guide rides with a maximum of 8-10 cycling guests.
Cycling clothing and helmets are required for all rides, and cycling shoes are strongly suggested (rather than running or athletic shoes).
Our Bici Love rides put the focus on group cycling. For a more leisurely oriented bike holiday, with daily sightseeing and food tasting destinations by bike, take a look at our

The “EPIC” ride is available for the most serious athletes, who will tackle the longest, toughest routes, with distances ranging from 90-130 km, and typically at a pace of around 25-35kph, depending upon terrain.
• Distance: 90-130 km / 55-80 mi
• Elevation per Tour: 1000-2200 m
• Climb length: max 15 km / 9 mi
• Max. grade climbs: max 15 %
• Average speed on flat: 25-35 km/h / 15-21 mi/h
The “ENTHUSIASTIC” ride adds just a little more riding challenge to the Classic Ride. The Enthusiasts will still ride the same roads as the classic ride, and see the same beautiful scenery, but they will get a few more opportunities to test out their cycling abilities on some longer and/or steeper climbs, ride at a faster pace, and take on a few longer loops to add more Km/miles to their route. This is our most requested ride level.
• Distance: max 80-100 km / 50-60 mi
• Elevation per Tour: 800-1500 m
• Climb length: max 10 km / 6 mi
• Max. grade climbs: max 10/12 %
• Average speed on flat: 25-30 km/h / 15-18 mi/h
Our Classic ride is for experienced cyclists who ride at a moderate pace, and are comfortable in various terrain, including longer hill climbs, riding in a group and who are confident in traffic (though we seek out the quiet roads we do sometimes have to encounter some busier city and village streets).
Our Classic ride will generally take the group on a 50-60 km (30-40 miles) ride with hills that might extend for 3-4 km (1.5-2.5 miles), and smaller undulating terrain. Cyclists should expect to be on the bike between 3 and 5 hours, including stops.
Cycling clothing and helmet are required, and cycling shoes are suggested (not just running or athletic shoes)
• Distance: max 50-70 km / 30-40 mi
• Elevation per Tour: 200-500 m
• Climb length: 5-6 km / 3-4 mi
• Max. grade climbs: max 5-6%
• Average speed on flat: 20-25 km/h / 12-15 mi/h
These are the minimum levels requested to take part in our guided group tours. If your riding ability is slower and you are a beginner, we suggest to reserve an exclusive guide who can organize tailor made tours according to your training level or you can book our special DOLCE VITA package (click here) with the possibilities to rent a new Pinarello road e-bike.
