Open to all, CicloGustando is the perfect way to soak up the spirit of the Strade Bianche in the festive days leading up to the race. Join us on Thursday and Friday for an unforgettable taste of Tuscan‑style cycling culture!

Not just Strade Bianche

Ciclogustando explores other forms of discovery, for those who want to change perspective, pace or means of transport, without ever losing sight of the essence of slow travel: observing, savouring, immersing oneself.

From the tranquillity of a trekking trail to the ancient cobbled streets of the historic centre to gravel adventures: each route is a different key to unlocking the same extraordinary door to the Terre di Siena.
Siena Centre Bike Route: An urban loop through districts, squares and monuments, cycling through the heart of the city and rediscovering its soul.
CicloGustando Trekking: A journey along dirt roads, trails and gentle climbs, where every step is accompanied by authentic views and silence.
CicloGustando Gravel: an adventure on mixed roads, dedicated to those who love to push themselves further and combine the freedom of gravel with the thrill of discovery (currently being developed and coming soon).
