What has made Siena so famous in the world of international cycling?
Come discover it with us in… A WEEKEND BY BIKE IN SIENA!
Is it perhaps because of the most exciting race that opens the season on the first weekend of March: Strade Bianche?
Or maybe it’s for the famous Eroica, held on the first weekend of October, which recalls the greats of cycling?
The fact remains that, in recent years, they have become unmissable events for all cycling enthusiasts who, unlike many other competitions, have the opportunity to ride on the same routes through the lands of Siena all year round.
So? There’s nothing left to do but organize a weekend by bike in Siena.
Spring is definitely the best time, when longer days combined with not-too-hot temperatures make the adventure easier to accomplish.
And if we add the beauty of the Crete and the Val d’Orcia during this season, even the souvenir photos will have an extra sprint!
Choosing the right hotel is essential to optimize your time and fully enjoy a weekend by bike in Siena.
