Giro del Mito - ElectricLine
Granfondo and gravel in the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines, in Bagno di Romagna
About Giro del Mito
The Giro del Mito, two days of cycling in Bagno di Romagna
The Giro del Mito - ElectricLine is the cycling event that transforms Bagno di Romagna, a spa town in the province of Forlì-Cesena in Emilia-Romagna, into a grand celebration on two wheels every year. Organized by the River22 Sporting Club, with the patronage of the Municipality of Bagno di Romagna, the Union of Municipalities of the Savio Valley, and the Casentinesi Forests National Park, the event attracts hundreds of enthusiasts from all over Italy and abroad each year.
A weekend between gravel and granfondo
The event takes place over two days. Saturday is dedicated to the gravel ride, a non-competitive cycling tour of about 60 km and 1,500 meters of elevation gain, open to gravel bikes, mountain bikes, and e-bikes, which winds through the dirt roads and trails of the Casentinesi Forests. Sunday is the day of the granfondo, with two routes to choose from: a long, challenging one, and a shorter, more accessible one. Both share the most anticipated finale, the Selvapiana time trial, six kilometers with an average gradient of 7.8% and peaks up to 12%, where the classification is decided.
Not just a race: party in Piazza Ricasoli
The beating heart of the event is Piazza Ricasoli, which hosts the expo area with technical stands and food trucks, live radio broadcast, team presentation, and evening entertainment with music and DJ sets. The pasta party, wellness sessions at the Parco delle Fonti, and the presence of guests from the cycling world complete a program designed to engage athletes, companions, and curious onlookers.
Between sport and territory
The Giro del Mito is also an opportunity to discover Bagno di Romagna and the Alta Valle del Savio, a territory of historic thermal baths, ancient forests, and Apennine traditions. Cycling here means crossing landscapes that connect Romagna and Tuscany, in one of the most evocative corners of the Apennines.
