It’s possible to arrive today but we don’t offer airport transfers. After breakfast and preparing the bikes, Andrea will take you on a supported ride that takes in the route of the Strade Bianche. En-route we will watch the riders of the pro peloton as they take on the white roads. We’ll be back at the hotel in the afternoon after watching the finish for you to rest and get prepared for tomorrow. Hospitality at the start and/ or at the finish or a day on the course in an official race car are available to book today at an additional cost starting from £70. Dinner at the hotel.

You were able to see how the riders of the Men’s and Women’s cycling elite handled the white roads yesterday. Today it’s your turn. Ride either the 139 km route with 31 kilometres of gravel roads or 86 kilometres with 21 kilometres of gravel. The race largely shares the course with the Women Élite event. The route is twisty and undulating, with no lengthy climbs, but with punchy hills, especially on the unpaved parts. Private feed stop on the course and we’ll assist with packing bikes after the race. Dinner at the hotel.

After breakfast we offer our optional transfer back to Florence and Pisa airport. We will depart Siena at 08.00. Our airport transfer arrives in Florence at 09.00 in line with flights that depart after 11.00. We will arrive at Pisa for 10.30, in line with flights that depart after 12.30. Private transfers can be booked on request.
