Cycle-touring routes
There is nothing better than to cycle around in order to thoroughly discover this enchanted mountain that plunges into the Adriatic Sea, so rich in charm and with gorgeous landscapes.
To travel Gargano by bicycle is totally different! It enables you to go straight into the hidden heart of the “sun mountain”.... Gargano and cycling are a natural winning combination.
“SEA & MOUNTAIN” route:
The route: The promontory with its endless variety of landscapes. Two days for those who love cycling but also diving into the wildest and most uncontaminated nature.
The technique: Over 200 km split into two stages and two days. The starting point is at sea level and after continuous ups and downs you reach the heart of the mountain, the Umbrian Forest (80 km). The second stage takes you to Rodi Graganico, along an almost all sloping route, a healthy ride. The second stage is less challenging. Recommended speeds... 42 * 21-23.
Food Supplies: During the first stage you can stop in the Umbrian Forest, a not-to-be-missed stop, where you can have a picnic or a packed lunch. During the second stage the supply depends on what time you leave. On arriving we recommend you have lunch at one of the excellent restaurants in Manfredonia.
“CYCLING WITH FRIENDS” route:
The route: You leave from Peschici and arrive at Peschici after travelling along the most charming and fascinating 40 Km of the whole Gargano: a wonderful sea, fragrant hills, evergreen pinewoods. Your partner should follow you by car and enjoy such beautiful landscape as well; you will also have the chance to have a happy picnic together. The view from Torre Monte Pucci is outstanding: it is one of the several coast towers of the promontory.
The technique: The route was designed also for those who just have a sport bike and want to do some sport. Some slight difficulties may be encountered within the first few kilometres but the rest of the route is as smooth as glass and gives you the chance to fully admire the landscape beauties... 42 * 21-23 for the first few kilometres but then you have to use 52.
Food Supplies: This short route is ideal if you want to have a picnic with your friends. You can choose among a number of different places, fun is guaranteed.
