Granfondo Via del Sale
The 28th edition of the Granfondo Via del Sale Fantini Club is one of the most important granfondo cycling races. With new adrenaline-filled routes and the Formignano hill-climb, it is a must if you love riding on the road with your bike.
A race that combines fatigue, the thrill of putting yourself to the test, and that of challenging yourself on the legendary Pantani climb.
From the sea to the hills, through breathtaking views to be covered with energy and enthusiasm, with new adrenaline-filled routes and the Formignano hill-climb.
Two routes are planned:
- Riopetra of 147 km
A route with four climbs, an altitude difference of 1773 metres, dedicated to those who have their legs ready and want to test themselves to the limit. Thrills guaranteed in a truly unique natural environment. A trial that, after an unchanged first part, offers a new, challenging, but truly fascinating experience.§ - Montecavallo 102 km
An agile, fun route, but also suitable for legs that are not too well trained. An elevation gain of 991 metres, for an itinerary that promises fantastic landscapes in the Romagna hinterland.
For the sixth year running, the Granfondo will be open to all types of e-bikes, not only racing bikes but also mtb, gravel and all types of pedal-assisted bikes. A choice to truly involve everyone, even those who, despite health problems or inadequate training, want to participate. Due to the amateur nature of the participation, for those taking part with e-bikes, no ranking will be drawn up, however, a list of finishers will be drawn up, which will also show the time achieved.
Along the route you will find various refreshment points and at the end a pasta party to celebrate together.
On the occasion of the race, an Expò will be set up on the seafront with all the novelties of the biking world, where you can exchange ideas and advice with the guest champions on the stands.
The Cervia Cycling Festival will be a true festival celebrating cycling, with three days of events, meetings, and initiatives designed for all athletes and their families. An event that is much more than a race!
