Km town/village notes 1. Along the ridges of the Gothic LineThis bike trail runs along the Gothic line where so many bloody battles took place and leads through the territo-ry of Coriano, San Clemente and Montecolombo. The course is all ups and downs and starts on Mazzini square in Coriano, at the Castel-leale castle of San Clemente which you leave on your right hand side. Follow the dirt road to the castle of San Savino. Then, through vine-yards, grain fields and groves of olive trees, ride to-wards the road from Croce to Montecolombo. From here, you descend for about 1 km, and then the road goes up and down until it reaches Coriano after less than 8 km. The castles of Montecolom-bo and Montescudo are well worth a visit.

Km town/village notes 2. Albereto CastleThis trail runs along the crest from the park of the river Ma-rano to the restored castle of Albereto, almost on the bor-ders of the Republic of San Marino. You start off going to-wards San Marino, actually, riding through olive groves and vineyards, horse pas-tures and with a breathtaking view of the Riviera. The course rises continually for the entire first leg, and then you descend again and fol-low a bike path along the Ma-rano river to the park where the tour ends. This course runs through the municipali-ties of Coriano and Montes-cudo along the Marano val-ley and is rather short, though challenging in the first part and almost com-pletely off-road.

Km town/village notes 3. Through the vineyardsThis tour is one of the most beautiful and difficult in the province of Rimini. It starts on Mazzini square in Cori-ano, goes through the village of Montecolombo past its castle and ancient restored washhouse and ends at the starting point after about 35 km. This course with its con-tinued ups and downs leaves you little time to catch your breath. Part of the way leads through well-kept farmland. The tour should be undertak-en by fit and experienced cy-clists because of the very steep passages up and down. It should take at least 4 hours to complete this trip due to the difficulties it presents, but the beauty of the land-scape make it well worth it.

Km town/village notes 4. Towards San MarinoThis trip runs exclusively through olive groves and vineyards on the hills of the Riminese hinterland to the foot of the majestic Monte Ti-tano (Republic of San Mari-no). Starting at Marano park you set out towards the coast and, after only a few kil-ometres, encounter the first difficult stretch, a small rise near Vecciano lake and then onwards up another very steep hill. At the crossroads to Torraccia you have a fan-tastic view but continue up-wards until you get to via Montelupo. From here you continue on a path along the Aeroclub San Marino area dropping down to lake Fae-tano, then cross the provin-cial road and follow the bike path towards Rimini.

Km town/village notes 5. The an-cient roads of MontefioreA trail that follows ancient roads used until the Middle Ages. You start in Morciano and set out towards Monte-fiore, then Saludecio. After a slight slope you take a side road and climb up towards San Teodoro. The track ar-rives in Montebaiacane where, staying on the hill crest, you pass Cabianco and reach the castle in Cerre-to. A track with ups and downs takes you to the vil-lage of Castelnuovo, with a very demanding downward stretch and a rise up to the fortress of Montefiore. You pass the village and from the crossroads with via Forca go up to the highest point of this tour. After some more ups and downs you negotiate a bump and prepare for the fi-nal descent on this tour, on gravel and stones, towards Morciano.

Km town/village notes 6. The Onfer-no nature reserveThis tour starts at Osteria Nuova and goes in the direc-tion of Montefiore. Once you’ve crossed the bridge over the Conca, your go on up until you reach the cross-roads towards the village where you turn right onto a dirt road. You go in and out of a little forest and then con-tinue upwards to Castel-nuovo. From the top, you can overlook the entire trail to the church of Piandicastello where the descent starts down to the castle of Onfer-no. The area is very attrac-tive: we are, as a matter of fact, inside a nature preserve and you might want to take the opportunity to visit the fa-mous caves. From here you continue towards Gemmano to “via Conventaccio”. After another short climb on a grav-el road, you start the ride downwards into the valley proper. The road is paved un-til the bridge of the Conca.

It runs along the dam of the Conca river, fol-lowing the bike path follow-ing the river. Follow the indi-cations to San Giovanni in Marignano. From San Gio-vanni you go towards Monte-lupo hill and, after Fanano hill, you have a great view of the fortress of Gradara. From here, you actually go through the fortress, enter-ing through the main gate and exiting onto a path that runs along the bottom of the valley. From Colombarone you rise up onto the hill on trail no. 2 of the Nature Re-serve of Monte S.Bartolo which opens up onto a beau-tiful view off the cliffs falling sheer into the sea. The trail then goes down to Baia Val-lugola, towards Gabicce /Cattolica and ends at the park.

Km town/village notes 8. The wine cellars’ tour:S.Clemente“Città del Vino”We start from the outer Malatesta city wall in San Clemente. The tour goes downwards, alternating be-tween paved and dirt roads until you get to S.Andrea in Casale. Here you cross the district road and continue to-wards the Conca river going down via Pian di Vaglia until you reach the ford through the river. Just before that, turn left and you reach the dam via paths along the river surrounded by greenery. Once you've crossed the bridge, go back onto the bike path and follow it to the former oil mill of Pianvente-na. Continue on the bike path on the other side until you reach Morciano. Just af-ter the bridge, go 100 m to-wards S.Marino to the bike path winding away from the street to Ca’ Menghi. Follow the panorama road to Croce and then S.Savino. The last leg rises up along the street

Km town/village notes 10. The two valleys tourMercatino Conca was built by the Malatesta family dur-ing the Middle Ages as a sen-try point overlooking impor-tant traffic hubs. Start from Rossini square, then the tour really takes off once you have left the village via the bridge. It first rises gently un-til you get to Ripalta, then on-wards to the tiny village of Monte Altavelio. Various ups and downs of the road take you to the church of Piandi-castello. Going downwards now, you leave the Conca val-ley and enter the Ventena val-ley instead. After a stretch on a dirt road, you get to a medieval stone road that ris-es up to the medieval village of Castelnuovo, then on to Pi-andicastello. From here, you descend to the Onferno caves with the museum, then to Molino Renzini. A dirt road along the Conca river takes you back in the other di-rection, once again to the bridge of Mercatino Conca and thus back to your start-ing point.

Km town/village notes 11. The tour of the two mountainsThe fortress of Monte Ceri-gnone was built in the 12th century by Buonconte di Montefeltro. Our tour starts from F.lli Cervi square just underneath the fortress and first leads down towards the village to then rise up again to the sanctuary of B. Do-menico. After ascending on a forest path, you reach the mountainside of Villagrande. From here you travel on the road to Magnone valley where you commence a tech-nically very demanding de-scent to the Conca river. A little further on is a ford un-derneath a bridge. A ramp takes you to Ca’ Secco and further to the mountain of S.Lorenzo. A few more ups and downs and you arrive at the path called “Strada Vici-nale della Serra” which runs along the crest of the moun-tain. At the peak, the district road joins the Faggiola street. You follow first a path, then the district road for a lit-tle while and then descend on a dirt road that takes you back to Monte Cerignone.

Km town/village notes 12. From the Marecchia Valley to San Leo FortressThis time we leave from Pie-tracuta, from the car park that is parallel to the SP Marecchiese and turn to-wards S.Leo. After the café at the petrol station, contin-ue across the crossroads, then after a few couple of me-tres turn left to leave the paved road and go onto a farm road. You reach the crest of the Case Belvedere and then continue to climb up on a paved road to Tausa-no. Now the tour continues on dirt roads until you get to Varco. Turn right and follow the dirt road to the next crossroads where you go up on the left and you reach an-other crest that you follow un-til you descend at the ceme-tery of S.Leo and the village there. Now the tour goes down towards Secchiano/ Novafeltria and then you turn right on a little path until you get to the Franciscan monas-tery of S.Igne. Continue be-low the monastery until you reach the Marecchia road at S.Maria Maddalena and con-tinue towards Rimini until you get back to Pietracuta.

Km town/village notes 13. From village to villageStarting point is the wooden footbridge across the Marec-chia river in Rimini. Set out towards the hills on the grav-elled strip along the banks. During the trip, you will en-counter some digging and construction work, chipping, gravel patches and transport as well as river sand. Follow-ing the main path you reach - after almost 8 km - a clearing with an abandoned olive press. Further on you arrive at a Mutoid camp (nomadic foreign artists), and leaving the camp behind, you then turn off to the right on a paved road towards Santarcangelo to then contin-ue on the bike path to the centre of the town. After crossing the Marecchia river you once again follow a dirt road to Rimini. In the histori-cal centre of that town the Augustus Arch, Tiberius bridge (both from the Ro-man ear) and the Malatesta fortress are well worth a visit.

Km town/village notes 14. The cradle of the MalatestaThe start is at the historical centre of Santarcangelo. Leaving the central square and going towards the stadi-um, you arrive at the first roundabout which you sim-ply cross and continue straight on. At the second roundabout, turn left, then right at the third roundabout and continue straight on un-til you get to a dirt road on your right. After the gate, the actual off-roads part of the tour begins. Take the path on the banks of the river and continue along towards the hills keeping the river on your left hand side until you get to Ponte Verucchio. The path is ideal for short stops to observe the geological characteristics and the wa-ter fowls populating the river. From Ponte Verucchio you might also choose to visit the fortresses of Verucchio, Torriana and Montebello. From Ponte Verucchio you return on the bike path on the right bank of the Marec-chia until you get back to your starting point.

Km town/village notes 15. In the chestnut woodYou set off from Ponte Veruc-chio towards Madonna di Sa-iano. A first leg on a paved road and a steep ascent take you to the fortress of Torri-ana to the "I Malardot" res-taurant. Then keep left on a disused road (blocked off with a rope) and continue on a steep descent on the path until you get to the Uso river where you turn in the direc-tion of Masrola-Ponte Uso. After a couple of kilometres, there is a dirt road on your left that takes you up to Gi-nestreto. Pass this, and then ascend on a narrow crest path towards the Giungla dei Castagni, the "top" part of the trail. Now turn left onto a narrow crest path again and go down to the trail after a couple of metres. Turn off at the third left turn and you get to a panorama point; then keep right when the road forks off. After passing Mon-te Matto, a few ups and downs in the road take you to the fortress of Montebello. Go down towards Torriana to Madonna di Saiano and then to the Marecchia river. A few kilometres more and you are back at your starting point.
