In Brief		This beautiful and unspoilt region of Italy comprises the Adriatic and a grand backdrop of hills in the province of Rimini which merge into the Apennine chain which runs the length of Italy . It is at a similar latitiude to the French riviere and enjoys a similar climate. In September and May you can expect warm sunny and mainly dry weather – perfect for cycling.         We fly to Rimini Airport on the new Easyjet schedule which is just 3 miles from the superior 3* Poker Hotel in Riccione where we will be based for the duration.          The ride will feature 4 days cycling.It is particularly geared for cyclists and features a safe bike storeroom and workshop, changing room where you can keep your shoes, clothes and helmet , a laundry service for cycling clothes, medical aid and optional physiotherapy and massage, an energy charged food menu especially geared to cyclists; a swimming pool on site and use of a gym –if cycling does not tire you out; and rental of the best racing bikes if required.      The hotel is particularly geared for cyclists and features a safe bike storeroom and workshop, changing room where you can keep your shoes, clothes and helmet , a laundry service for cycling clothes, medical aid and optional physiotherapy and massage, an energy charged food menu especially geared to cyclists; a swimming pool on site and use of a gym –if cycling does not tire you out; and rental of the best racing bikes if required.         Each day's ride will be guided by  our local Italian expert and triathlete.
