Dear Davide before we begin I would like to thank you for your cooperation. What do you think of Riccione Bike Hotels?
Its one year that I'm working with the bike Hotels and I have noticed that these hotels act as a point of reference for these groups of cyclists, they have professional guides in every period of the year. The group functions because the bicycle business is involved with the bike hotel providing them with a service of high quality. There is also a fitness sector and an area spinning, things that in other places you cannot find, these services are greatly appreciated by the cyclists.
We have noted a lot of interest for the web site Riccionebikehotels.it, the public have taken us by surprise mostly the younger people, don't you think that its a positive factor that the cyclists are interested in using internet?
It is very useful for the tourist to find information about the countryside and about services available, and all this he can do from home without having to telephone. As well as this I know that the web site is regularly aggiorned the activities and the photos from year to year are always more complete.
The Romagna, the best place for tourists on holiday with the bicycle, the warm welcome, the routes, the fitness, the food and above all the possibility to be always aggiorned with what's going on in your world, these are the ingredients that make this place one the best tourist destinations, what do you think?
I am a sail boating instructor and I realize that Romagna is Known only for its coastline. Our job is to bring the countryside under the spotlight which unfortunately up until now has been forgotten. I love the mountain bike and I have to say that the routes between the Marche, Romagna and also Forli and Cesena are truly lovely.
As a cyclist guide , what is your stile? Do you choose your routes with the guests, decide at the moment or do you follow a timetable? Do you like to follow your natural rhythm or do you adapt yourself to the capacity of the other tourists who want to enjoy the Romagna and its land scapes?
I decide together with the guests, it depends on the speed that they hold and the job they want to do. I don't always run faster but with the mountain bike you always need someone to head the group so you don't get lost. I agree with the idea that each group should have two guides, one at the head and one behind.
Would you like to tell us about an outing \ route ( in Romagna, ndr ) that you like particularly ( that is not one of the usual ones)?
The run in mountain bike that I like the most is the one that takes you to Benedetto in Alp, also known by the name Acquacheta. Its one hour in car from Riccione and it arrives to the waterfall of Acquacheta, a beautiful place that I would advise for everybody.
In your opinion who are the cyclists that are better prepared\ trained? and also the friendliest ones?
The Swiss and the Austrians are the best trained while the germans prefer a slower pace for enjoying the land scape.
Have you any curious stories to tell in regards to the outings with the guests of the riccione bike hotels ?
It was the beginning of spring time. We were projecting a short run (40-50km) at a certain point we saw four wild deer, so we stopped to admire them. Then somebody moved and the deer ran away. Overcome with surprise on seeing these wild animals I didn't realize that half the group had overtaken me and were caring on by themselves. The result was that I lost them, I found them after a few hours. I'll just say that we did more km's than planned.
