The Chianti Classic, now in its 16th edition, is a non-competitive event. Beginning and ending in Castelnuovo Berardenga(Siena)on June 6th it offers four distances:
-"Gourmet" of 42 km, suitable for everyone and especially to those with a sweet tooth, and also offering an opportunity to visit some of the most famous vineyards of Chianti.
-"Slow" of 73 km and 1050 m of elevation gain, a route for an easy ride.
-"Ciclotour" of 126 km with 1900 m of elevation gain, quite challenging.
-"Rando" of 195 km with 3050 m of elevation gain, a challenging, difficult route mitigated by the extraordinary beauty of the area traversed.
The registration fee is only 7 euro. A French start permits riders to begin anytime between 7am and 9am.
