Marca Bianca – La Classica

An adventure on two wheels that will take you through history, nature, and… yes, some delicious food too!

This isn’t a race. There’s no stopwatch chasing you, no panic over “I have to finish before the last rider takes their snack break.” Here, you ride for the pure joy of discovery, without the pressure of breaking records (unless you want to set a personal best in laughter).

Marca Bianca La Classica is a French-style cycling event—no fixed schedules, free departure. You wake up, grab your bike, and go, just like when you decide to ride simply for the pleasure of it—except this time, with a GPS!

Technology Meets Adventure

Forget paper maps (too much like school). Instead, follow the GPS route on your cycling computer or smartphone. It’s like playing hide-and-seek with a treasure map—except the treasure is the breathtaking landscape of the UNESCO Prosecco Hills… and maybe a glass of Prosecco at the end of the day.

What Bike Should You Bring? Here are your options:

  • Gravel bike (for those who want to stay trendy)
  • Road bike (but with suitable tires—no thin race wheels on gravel roads!)
  • Mountain bike (for those who love off-road adventures)
  • E-bike (because who said you have to sweat to enjoy the ride?)

The Numbers of the Adventure:

  • Distance: 100 km (just a couple of extra turns… or wheels… beyond a casual ride)
  • Elevation gain: 1,330 m (yes, there are some ups and downs, but nothing too dizzying)
  • Start & finish: Santa Lucia di Piave (a name that already sounds like an invitation to get moving!)

Why Participate?

Because this isn’t just any ride! It’s a sensory journey combining:

  • White roads and vineyards straight out of a postcard (and definitely worth an Instagram photo!)
  • Delicious food stops with local specialties (from snacks to pasta—an experience that will make your foodie friends jealous)
  • A final refreshment stop that feels like a party (not just food, but great vibes, laughter, and maybe a toast with new friends!)

No competition, just sharing the road and the excitement of discovering a land where nature, history, and Venetian culture blend beautifully—without the stress of finishing first.

Marca Bianca La Classica is perfect for anyone who wants to experience cycling freely, joyfully, and yes, even in an Instagram-worthy way.

Follow your own pace. Breathe. Ride. Live.

If you’re ready to leave your routine behind and dive into an experience that will make you forget you ever left home—then this is the ride for you!

See you in the saddle! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️
