Elbaleatico Gran Fondo

Sea, sun, gastronomy. These are not only the foundations on which a unique product, Aleatico, is built, but also the ingredients at the core of the combinations of bicycle and territory, sport and gastronomic traditions typical of the Tuscany Bike Challenge, the circuit to which the Gran Fondo dell'Isola d'Elba race belonged.

In 2015, the event was paired with one of the major local food and wine tasting events, the exhibition "ElbaAleatico, a cluster of history."

The race offered the possibility to compete on a 61-kilometer MTB route and three different road routes:

• Light, if such a term can be used for a 67 km itinerary;
• Classic with its 87 km;
• Marathon, a 101 km route for those who want to enjoy the entire island.

The very hilly and undulating tracks, both in terms of layout and elevation, with a French-style start, included alternating sections with time trials and tourist segments.

The race crossed the entire Elba island, allowing all enthusiasts to experience the island in its entirety: from the thrill of competition to the discovery of the territory and its excellences, without leaving behind the healthy competition that many love.
