How Our Guides Bring Energy And Passion To Every Tour

Every spring the Ciclismo Classico guide team gathers together in a new location for pre-season updates, trip discussions and review, and a few awesome bike rides.

These meetings allow our talented guides to bring their endless creative and innovative ideas to the table. Their unmatchable expertise in Italy alongside their magic touch on our other European tours is a richness we never lose sight of.

This year the team, led by Ciclismo Classico Director and Founder, Lauren Hefferon, huddled for four days in the gorgeous hills along the Tuscan Coast.

Here are just a few snaps from the event:

Paola Secco, our new spirited Italian base manager, is ready to start the season.

Lauren leads the colorful gang on some great local coastal rides. A post-ride photo of the gang!

Massimo Marenco – always our resident beach photo bomber! His creativity and sense of humor is limitless.

Sergio, Massimo, Isacco and Cristina: a few of the guides hover around the bar, discussing new ideas for a new season while enjoying numerous espresso breaks!

Massimo, Paola, Frank, Dana and Massimo stop for a mid-ride refresh.

All smiles from Alessandro and Sandro.

Never a dull moment!

Of course tasty Tuscan meals are shared over great brainstorm conversations as the team gears up for spring.

Gorgeous rides weaving in and out of tiny hilltop villages and down along the Etruscan coast and out to the sparkling Mediterranean sea (and empty beaches!)––were a perfect start to each day.

Energy and Passion in every pedal stroke.
