Breakfast in the hotel. Everyone will gather at the starting line for the race, both those who will be pedaling and those who will be cheering. Winning is not important, but rather being able to admire the unique scene that unfolds before your eyes. Therefore, we recommend that you raise your eyes and enjoy a particular Granfondo. Even if you aren’t participating, don’t think that you will get out of pedaling! After the start of the race, the town of Ferrara, the city of bicyles, will be waiting for you! Your bicycle awaits you along with a guide who will accompany you through the city while explaining the history of all of the monuments. For the smaller children, the adult bicycles will be equipped with a child’s seat, whereas there will be a child’s bicycle for the older children. You will then return to the race area where there will be some refreshments, and then you will go to lunch with “your champions” who have just finished the race.
