After a life spent winning everything on asphalt, in recent years Paolo Bettini has discovered the joy of pedalling on gravel, especially on the many kilometres of "Strade Grigie" that run through his land, the Val di Cecina.From this passion has stemmed the idea of the first "GeoGravel Tuscany", a great event for gravel lovers that will take place over two days, on 23 and 24 September in Pomarance (PI).
As many as four routes to choose from will range from the 45-km Short Track and the 75-km Medium Track to the 120-km Long Track, up to the 250-km course of the Ultra - a real challenge for the most daring riders. It will not be a race, but an opportunity to share the pleasure of cycling together in a unique territory with other people, discovering the wonders of the warm heart of Tuscany. There will therefore be no rankings and the start will be 'French style', to embrace the gravel spirit as much as possible, which is based on sharing the emotions of a journey, much more than on performance.
