This 7-day Tuscan cycling camp includes participation in one of Italy’s famous Granfondo bicycle races, Gran Fondo della Vernaccia in San Gimignano. The camp also includes a visit to the finish of the Giro d’Italia stage #9 in Florence. Watch Italy’s National Tour with a former Giro d’Italia stage winner, Max Lelli!

Participants in this trip will race for the Max Lelli team in a Max Lelli Kit (included in the cost of the camp).

 

We will train in beautiful Tuscany based out of Max Lelli’s estate, Il Raduno, through secluded countryside and small historic villages such as Pitigliano and Sorano.

 

 

 

 

The end of our week in Tuscany will see us travel north to San Gimignano to participate in a classic Granfondo. Italy’s Granfondo bicycle races are known throughout the world as an exceptional experience, one that you will get to be a part of with this camp.
