TRAVEL CAMP PROGRAM
08 May // Pickup from the Airport every second hour from 8.00 to 13.00 and transfer to Hotel.
Bike unpacking, "Aperitivo", Presentation of the Camp and First Ride. We will start the ride at 15 sharp and it will be an easy 3 hours one just to evaluate the level of the guests in the group and to know each other. Dinner at 20.00.
09 May // We will climb up to Savoca, a small town famous for the Godfather movie (of course a stop at the Bar Vitelli Cafe is a must!), we continue up to the Nebrodi Mountains where we reach Limina and then up to Roccafiorita where we will have a light lunch. Finally, we ride down to Letojanni.Â
10 May // We will climb up to the Linguaglossa on the Giro 2022 climb to Etna on the South Side (Rifugio Sapienza). We will watch the stage arrival and then we go down on the beautiful road in the lava fields that brings us to Milo and Zafferana where we will enjoy some local specialties and observe life on the square. From Zafferana it is mostly down to the Hotel.
11 May // This will be a "rest day". We will ride towards Catania to watch the start of the Giro d'Italia 2022 stage. We will also visit the city center, the fish market, and then return to the hotel on the scenic beach road. On the way, we will also give a look at the Villa that was used to film some scenes from the Godfather movie.
12 May // We go up we go to one of our favorite rides along the "Secret Roads" between Etna and Peloritani. We will ride the Alcantara river and Graniti. After this small town, there is a brutal but short 18% climb and then we continue on one of Nibali's favorite training routes. After the climb from Graniti, we ride into the secret roads built by the allied soldiers during the Second World War from where they attacked the German Army. This road offers the most amazing view of Etna and the Church on top of Monte Kalfa where we will take a short break and take in the breathtaking views before we decent for a well-deserved lunch. After lunch, we descend to the coast and ride along the coastal road to the Hotel.
13 May // Today we will ride up to Randazzo and then, with one of the most amazing landscapes on Nebrodi, we will reach the old town of Montalbano Elicona with its Castle.
14 May // Ciao e Arrivederci!!! Today we bring you back to the Airport. Tell us what time is your flight or if you want to stay some extra day with or without your bike. We will try to arrange everything for you all!
Aldo TOctober 12, 2020.VerifiedWhat a ride! Challenging scenic rides, amazing food, temperate weather, quiet roads and experienced fun guides made for the perfect week of riding in Sicily. I can’t recommend Sicily Cycling Club enough. Tommaso treats everyone like family.
JennfromvanOctober 12, 2020.VerifiedTempo perso Tommaso Our second trip to Sicily with SSC so we knew what to expect , a first class friendly service and we weren't disappointed. Tommaso booked our accommodation , organised our airport transfers and when not guiding us personally ( a must do experience ) supplied us with a variety of the best best routes to do . If you are thinking about visiting Sicily for a cycling trip i strongly recommend contacting Tommaso at SSC whose local knowledge will help make you trip a trouble free & more enjoyable experience . We'll be back !!!

John MOctober 12, 2020.VerifiedExcellent cycling camp, faultless I absolutely loved every part of my trip, from being collected at the airport, right through the week of wonderfully planned rides, amazing food, fabulous knowledgable Guides, fantastic hotels, and great people who have become friends for life. The whole thing was faultless, I can't recommend Sicily Cycling club highly enough, and can't wait to return for an exciting bespoke trip next year. Tommaso truly runs and excellent service, and is extremely patient 😂

Un tour organizzato ad hoc per tutti gli appassionati di sport e cicloturismo. Consigliatissimo inoltre per chi vuole vivere un'esperienza a contatto con la natura, condividendola con persone di nazionalità differenti. Il leader Tommaso è un professionista attento ai minimi particolari, pronto a risolvere in tempi brevi possibili imprevisti e a rendere le giornate uniche ed indimenticabili.
