ITALY & THE GIRO D”ITALIA WITH STEVE LEHMAN TOURS May 16 – May 25, 2025
January 19, 2024 | Posted in General | By Steve Lehman
OUR VIP GIRO D’ITALIA TRIP TO ITALY IS ON!
JOIN US THERE MAY 16 TO MAY 25, 2025 FOR THE ITALIAN CYCLING EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
2025 we will be back in Modena for the start of Stage 13 of the Giro d’Italia and our exclusive VIP experience Nothing can prepare you for the party, pageantry, and unique access we have to the riders. If you are a fan of cycling, especially the Grand Tours, this is truly an opportunity of a lifetime!
Again, in 2025 I have to ask, when or where could you do the Giro d’Italia VIP experience better than with Steve Lehman Tours!?! Add to this our included visit to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello on the same day amd could May 22, 2025 be any more memorable?
In our 17th year in Italy we have been operating out of the Rimini area (Cattolica, specifically) We selected this region for a number of reasons. First, it is known in Italy as the Cyclist’s Paradise where the culture of bicycling has been nurtured for decades. Second, Marco Pantani was born and learned to become a Grand Tour Champion in this region and on the very roads we will ride and explore during our stay here. And, finally, there are many “non-cycling” reasons for our choice of this area.
We we will be operating out of Cattolica, near the border of Emilia-Romagna and Marche, two beautiful Regions of Italy and close to the Republic of San Marino. With its extensive network of wonderful roads winding through and climbing stunning landscapes of ancient medieval fortresses and rolling hills, the riding here is as good as anywhere I have ever ridden in the world. Emilia-Romagna is also known as the “breadbasket” of Italy with its lush vineyards and olive groves, and renowned for its agriculture, seafood, processed meats, cheeses and wine. You may ride 300-400 miles during your stay, but you may also gain a pound or two. And as important, surrounded by all this art, history and tradition is our host, Kelly Gerla, and the beautiful, “4-Star” Hotel Kursaal in Cattolica overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Even after a hard ride it is difficult to resist the temptation to lounge in the pool, walk on the beach right in front of the hotel or down the street for a refreshing gelato. After all, this is where Italians come for the family vacation!
