In the morning, after a good breakfast, we will ride to the hills overlooking Foligno. We will visit the Abbey of Sassovivo and then we will reach the ancient village of Rasiglia, known as "Borgo dei ruscelli", due to the waterways that run through the small center of the village. It's the Umbrian Venice, enchanted with its streams and channels that feed the ancient mills that operate the weavers' looms. The great abundance of water in the internal channel was exploited to develop the economy and also led to the formation, along its course, of numerous factories: fulling mills, grain mills, woollen mills and dyeing mills that worked on fine fabrics. These factories remained active throughout the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. We'll have a guided visit. We'll leave for Sellano, where we will have lunch. The return trip can be made by bike or by van. In the evening we will have dinner in one of the most beautiful cellars of Sagrantino with an unforgettable wine tasting at the Dionigi Winery.

Ital Cycling Bike Tours offers you a road bike rental which is at a professional level.
The Superstar is Cinelli’s cutting-edge carbon fiber re-interpretation of the mythical Italian stage-racing bicycle that is the brand’s heritage and DNA.
Unlike other brands who each year offer bicycles with ever increasingly narrow scope of use, Cinelli, when developing the Superstar, obsessed over the way in which the inherent qualities of carbon fiber and its manufacturing processes could be employed to produce an aggressively contemporary version of the legendary versatility of the Italian Grand Tour ride quality i.e. the intelligent balance of low-weight, aggressive handling over highly varied terrain and long-distance riding comfort.
The K60 is the ideal model for those who switch to a carbon frame for the first time and wish to do so while being careful to optimize the quality / cost ratio. Also designed for cycle touring, the reactivity and stiffness of this bike will amaze you! The monocoque carbon frame weighing about 990 grams, is characterized by modern lines, in the name of cleanliness and elegance.
