Here, in the “Nove Colli Granfondo<\/strong>” area and land of great champion cyclists, we have discovered a new dimension for those who love pedaling: adequate time and space to enjoy exciting bike hikes, discovering the best of the countryside and the local landscape. We\u2019ve gone on a two wheel journey with Wendy Carter<\/strong>, owner of an important British travel agency dedicated to \u201cgentle cycling\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Romagna<\/strong> region is the land of \u201cbike discovering\u201d, tank to its soft rolling hills, favorable climate for most of the year, great environmental diversity and the always present sea view. Here, even the most slow-paced cycle traveler will be able to carry out high quality sportive and tourist routes. With Wendy we visited the various Unesco sites<\/strong> in Ravenna<\/strong>, and to reach them we chose an all nature route through the pinewoods; a close encounter with the local products of the area, like for example the Salt of Cervia and Extra Virgin Oil from Longiano. Along with the exclusive and refined hospitality of\u00a0 the Batani Select Hotels<\/a> it all comes together in a well balanced mix, where your bicycle plays the leading role.<\/p>\n

Here are the trails that we tried out together, all with less than 40 km mileage:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 from Cervia<\/strong> to the mosaics\u00a0 in Ravenna<\/strong> through the pinewoods and the Ortazzo natural reserve;
\n\u2022\u00a0 from Cervia to Cesenatico<\/strong>, pedaling around the salt ponds and continuing through the coastal pine woods;
\n\u2022\u00a0 from Cesenatico to Longiano<\/strong> amongst vineyards and olive groves , after covering the calm streets of\u00a0 the ancient Roman land division;
\n\u2022\u00a0 from Rimini<\/strong> to Santarcangelo<\/strong>, from the Roman ruins to the artistic treasures of the most creative town of the Riviera: \u201cMutonia\u201d the artistic park, the local artisan printing houses, the \u201cTonino Guerra fountain\u201d, the medieval center.<\/p>\n

In just a few days we have discovered some of the many interesting venues that the Romagna region can offer its visitors. Wendy picked the Cervia \u2013 Ravenna trail as her favorite, which is yours?<\/p>\n
