DAY 1 - Milan to Arona | 166.0 km | MAP | GPX FILE

We’ll set off from Mileway, Milan shortly after 08.30 am.

As it is day 1, there are frequent stops and the pace is gentle, allowing us to get into the challenge. It won’t take too long for us to wind our way north out of the city and enter the quiet of the countryside.

The morning ride is sometimes described as hilly, we’ll be honest, it is, but this is the toughest section of the whole ride. After regular stops to recharge, we’ll stop for a well-earned lunch.

After lunch, we will continue our journey to Verviers, the route is up and down. Our snack stops will keep you going, and upon arrival in Arona, we’ll check into our hotel.

After a bit of time to freshen up, we will meet for our evening meal, where we will be able to reflect on the fist day of our Italian cycling challenge.

DAY 2 - Arona to Como, 176.1 km | MAP | GPX FILE

After a light breakfast to get us ready for day 2 of cycling, we’ll soon be continuing our journey north towards our destination for Day 2, Lake Como. You’ll be pleased to hear that the route on Day 2 is considerably flatter.

Cycling starts early so everyone must have working lights to see whilst riding. There is a short section on the road before we join the cycle path, a flat cycle route.

After several short stops in the morning, we will stop for lunch having covered just under 55 miles. After lunch, we will be back on the road for the final stretch. Again there are plenty of snack stations along the beautiful route.

Upon arrival at our hotel, you will have time to relax, freshen up, and reflect on Day 2. Later we will meet for an evening meal and you’ll also have the chance to reflect on day 2, before our final day, the ride back to Milan.

Save the celebrations to the final day!

DAY 3 - Como to Milan, 108.9 km | MAP | GPX FILE

By now, your legs may be aching and fatigue may be setting in, so we won’t get you out of bed too early. We’ll gather after a full breakfast and aim to set off by 9.30 am. There are a few hills to conquer on this leg, but after it will be a nice leisurely ride to Milan.

After a well-earned breakfast and lunch stops, Milan will soon be in our sights. Savor that triumphant feeling as you cycle towards the city where the fizz will flow. You can invite friends and family to join the team cheering you safely into Milan.

On the following day, we will return home. If you are staying longer, let us know as soon as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements for you. (charges may apply).
