For the Randonnée Appennini Rapha have researched a new and exciting route, giving you a unique chance to experience the regions that constitute the heart of Italy. Our route is a very tough but incredibly scenic journey through historical landscapes, from the bare rock faces of Abetone to the rolling hills of Le Marche and into the Monti Sibilini National Park. And in cycling obsessed Italy, it is only natural that the Apennines have come to host some of the great road racing events in the international calendar; the classic spring stage race Tirreno – Adriatico, the epic L’Eroica in Tuscany and of course the Giro d’Italia. A route which is soon to become a classic of its own on the Randonnée calendar.
