First ride to the Carpegna's Cippo, the longest one, pretty much demanding, but very nice. That is the Marco Pantani hill with a hard elevation: 7 km with the 14% adv going to the top of the hill: 1450 meter up to Gabicce where you can touch the sky! It would be amazing to arrive there: 138km to go and come back an the sensation to do a real enterprise! 

2) Urbino - Panoramic Tour 105km

What the best way to reach the wonderful the city of Urbino? From Gabicce you are going to join another fantastic ride: 106 km towards one the most famous historic and artistic place of the Marche Region.

Five hours ride to the Valconca green valley towards the beautiful villages of Montecerignone and Montegrimano back of the San Marino rock. This is a perfect tour to admire the hinterland Gabicce scenary following the road to Monte San Paolo and his top to 850m up! 

The way back from Montescudo would be good for a deserved coffee break before the last 30km to the Alexander's lunch in Gabicce!

What about seeing the beauty of the oldest republic of Europe? This bike tour is 80km going to the top of Monte Titano in the state of San Marino.

Before San Marino and the coffee break in the famous "Piazza della Libertà" where is placed the government palace we are passing from the village of Montescudo and the beautiful road toward Gesso and Montelicciano. 

6) Candelara/Novilara km 70
http://connect.garmin.com/course/6048887
Riding on the hills up to Pesaro going back from the Panoramic Road. This is one of the best route (70km) we suggest in Alexander Bike experience. Nice roads, not so tough going to the wonderful old villages of Candelara (with his famous romanic church) and Novilara. On the way back we have the unique possibility to join the panoramic road, the famous "green highway" from Pesaro to Gabicce, 20 km up to the coast for a stunning view at Fiorenzuola and Casteldimezzo.
