About

Part of the Bike Festival Riva del Garda, one of the largest cycling events in northern Italy, this gravel ride offers a guided cicloturista experience with gastronomy stops around Lake Garda and the first alpine foothills of Trentino. The 65 and 100 km routes accumulate 1,750 metres of climbing through scenery where the lake's Mediterranean microclimate gradually gives way to steeper alpine slopes. Non-competitive in nature, the focus is on landscape enjoyment and local food. Particularly suited to cyclists who want to combine festival attendance with an active day at controlled intensity, which can also serve as a useful unloading session within a more demanding training week. In Push Training 360, the coach identifies where this event sits within the 12-week plan and integrates it as a zone-2 session with moderate elevation, ensuring it does not interfere with tapering or scheduled load blocks.
