Tipi Percorsi
**Update on 22nd September 2020**
The following text and the linked "hikes" routes are part of the Gallo Nero Bike Day event on last 20th September 2020. Together with the organising body we decided to let the routes be available all year round, hoping that more and more people decide to cycle on our roads. If you want to visit wineries, restaurants and businesses who joined the event, please call in advance because special menus and prices and opening times may vary without notification.
The two routes, the Granfondo (135 km, elevation difference 2621 m) and the Mediofondo (83 km, elevation difference 1526 m), offer breathtaking views of our countryside, the ultimate iconic Italian landscape. Starting in Radda in Chianti, where cyclists can admire the old city walls, and ending in Greve in Chianti, the birthplace of explorer and navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano, the route breezes by vineyards in the sunny Golden Basin of Panzano in Chianti, cuts through San Casciano and then dips down towards Castellina in Chianti, chosen by Michelangelo Buonarroti as his personal retreat. The long route meanders through the southernmost part of the territory, among lush vineyards and breathtaking hills, like the ones of San Regolo and Castagnoli. Both routes descend and rise several times, but don’t include highly technical incline climbs, allowing participants to enjoy the amazing landscape in its most glorious moment – the end of summer.

The ride is easy: starting from Greve in Chianti, the route passes through the hamlets of Greti- Passo dei Pecorai- Ferrone. Leaving behind the last houses in Ferrone, cyclists will then turn left to tackle the one and only climb, the uphill road of Luiano (length Km 3,500; elevation difference 3%), which offers a truly classic view of the territory, with vineyards and olive groves. Mercatale is the halfway mark and as the route continues towards the four roads, riders will enjoy panoramic views of the Val di Pesa valley (with San Donato and Tavarnelle) on the right, extending all the way to the countryside surrounding Siena. As the route descends on the downhill road of Leccia, it embraces the traditional Florentine Chianti landscape and participants will take in amazing views while pedaling on vineyard-lined roads, admiring Impruneta, Chiocchio and Strada in Chianti in the distance. A right turn at the end of the slope will bring participants to Greve in Chianti, and back to the beginning of the route after 9 Km on flat roads.

This route stands out for its scenic beauty and easy ride: the road that goes from Radda to the Pietrafitta fork is one of the most spectacular in the entire Chianti territory. For approximately 9 km, this itinerary rises and falls along the ridge, providing views in the distance of Monte Luco, Panzano, Castellina, as well as of the hills that divide the three provinces of Siena, Arezzo and Florence. The route then dips towards Pietrafitta: the descent is challenging and long. Once in Molin Lungo, riders will cross the bridge that divides the territories of Florence and Siena, and then go slightly uphill towards Panzano (1,5 km; elevation difference 3/4% ). At the Volano crossroads, follow directions for Radda – Lucarelli: Radda is about 10 Km away. The first stretch is gently downhill towards the hamlet of Lucarelli, followed by 5 km of flat ride along the Pesa river. The last 4 Km start at the base of Radda and slightly climb until finally entering the town.

The 8th edition of the Gallo Nero Granfondo race has been postponed to 2021. This year, bicycle enthusiasts will not take part in the usual Gallo Nero race on September 20th, rather they will have the opportunity to embark on a special ‘food and wine’ cycling tour for the day. Bike aficionados will be able to test their skills on either of the two Granfondo courses starting from any point of the itinerary. Whilst enjoying a ride through natural scenic beauty, they can stop along the way for a visit to the Chianti Classico cellars - many of which will be open for guided tours and tastings - or take a longer break in one of the several restaurants near the route, delighting in dishes specifically created for the occasion and dedicated to cyclists. Several Gallo Nero statues will mark the path and represent the focal point around which musical entertainment and other performances will take place.
