Day 3 – Riccione, Italy Group Ride: Long Inclines & Hill Towns Today’s ride takes us deep into the picturesque countryside of Emilia-Romagna and the Marche region, tracing a stunning loop through hill towns, ancient villages, and winding country roads. This route features longer inclines, hairpin turns, and scenic descents—a rewarding challenge for any rider who enjoys elevation and views. We'll roll out from Riccione, heading inland toward San Clemente and Morciano di Romagna, before climbing toward Falda and San Felice. The roads narrow and begin to twist as we ascend into the hills, threading through Tavoleto and Montecalvo in Foglia, where sweeping views of the valley open up beneath us. The route continues through San Giorgio and Mondaino, with their medieval architecture and quiet cobbled streets, before descending slightly into Saludecio. We'll climb again toward Santa Maria del Monte and Monte Lupo, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. The ride then winds down through San Giovanni in Marignano, Montalbano, and Misano, before looping back to Riccione by the Adriatic coast. Expect a mix of technical climbs, fast descents, and plenty of moments to pause and soak in the rolling hills, rustic charm, and local flavor that define this region. A perfect day to test the legs—and enjoy the ride.
