The Experience

Before You Go

Charge & size your bike

Confirm e‑bike battery and bring height info so the operator can fit the correct frame; assistants reduce effort on the steeper stretches.

Bring hydration and snacks

Carry at least 1–1.5 L of water and a light snack—tastings are later in the ride and won't replace steady hydration.

Sun and wind protection

Coastal stretches get exposed; use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light windbreaker for late-afternoon breezes.

Footwear and handling

Wear closed-toe shoes with decent grip—gravel and short technical sections benefit from stable soles.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Panoramic terrace above Sirolo for sunset views over the Bay of Portonovo
  • A small coastal footpath to secluded pebble coves near Numana for short swims and cliffs views

Wildlife

  • Mediterranean gulls and cormorants along the cliffs
  • Occasional foxes and songbirds in the park's oak woodland

Conservation Note

Conero Regional Park protects coastal habitats and restricts off-route travel; stick to marked trails and support local wineries that practice sustainable viticulture.

The Conero promontory served as a natural shelter and lookout since antiquity; local towns grew around fishing and viticulture, with terraces visible on many slopes.
