Asprevie - Anghiari Gravel Roads

Cycling through the white roads of the Valtiberina

Asprevie - Anghiari Gravel Roads is a gravel cycling tour held every year in Anghiari, a charming medieval village in the Valtiberina area of the province of Arezzo, in eastern Tuscany. Organized by G.S. Fratres Dynamis Bike, the event invites amateur cyclists and enthusiasts to discover the region by riding on a mix of white roads, dirt tracks, and some paved sections, immersed in hills, forests, and ancient villages.

An event for every level

The format includes several routes of varying lengths and difficulty, allowing everyone to choose the challenge best suited to their legs: from the shorter route, designed for those new to gravel, to the long and demanding track that tests even the most trained cyclists with significant elevation gain. Gravel bikes and mountain bikes are allowed, including pedal-assisted e-bikes on certain routes, provided they have tires with a tread suitable for dirt roads.

Not a race, but a celebration

Asprevie is not a timed point-to-point competition, but a day of sport, conviviality, and fun. Along the route, participants will find numerous refreshment points set up in the local hamlets and villages, offering coffee, sweets, savory snacks, cold cuts, and drinks. Upon arrival in the center of Anghiari, the event concludes with a convivial lunch featuring local specialties and music, in a festive atmosphere that involves the entire community.

Anghiari and the Valtiberina

Anghiari, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, is famous for its history and the 1440 Battle of Anghiari, immortalized by Leonardo da Vinci. Cycling from its medieval walls means crossing a territory where nature, art, and tradition merge: the Tuscan Valtiberina, a borderland between Tuscany, Umbria, and the Marche, offers authentic rural landscapes, historic villages like Sansepolcro and Monterchi, and genuine gastronomy. Asprevie is also a way to promote this corner of Tuscany through sustainable cycle tourism.
