Program
FIRST DAY
Arrival in Ussita in the early morning. Meeting with the guide for an initial technical briefing with explanation of the route, test of the bikes and loading of luggage on the support vehicle.

We will then continue towards the Piani di Ragnolo with an unforgettable panorama that ranges from Monte Conero to Pizzo Tre Vescovi and reaches the blue of the Adriatic Sea! Dinner and overnight stay planned in the Sassotetto area.
SECOND DAY
After breakfast we will continue our tour in a south-easterly direction to reach Pintura di Bolognola, the Campolungo plateau and gradually the small hamlets of the Municipality of Amandola. The itinerary includes a visit to the Sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Ambro in the Municipality of Montefortino. This locality is located in a gorge right at the foot of the mountain that gave the chain its name: the Sibilla. Every km of this ring is full of legends and stories that we will be able to tell you and we can't wait to lead you to discover them day by day. Dinner and overnight stay planned in the area of Montefortino and Montemonaco.
THIRD DAY
An unforgettable day awaits us! From the valleys of Vallegrascia, to the ruins of Santa Maria in Pantano we will go up along the path of the Reapers up to Forca di Presta towards the plateau of Castelluccio suspended between Umbria and Marche: the Piano grande and the Piano Perduto will embrace you in a riot of flowers and colors. The stage is quite demanding but the scenery is worth every effort. The descent towards Ussita begins at the height of the church of the Madonna della Cona severely damaged by the recent earthquake, we will cross the small town of Castel Sant'Angelo sul Nera and thus we will end our adventure, but we are sure that it will only be the beginning of your experience in the Marche .... you will come back and we will be happy to welcome you again!
