Dear Ivano Before we begin I would like to thank you for your cooperation. What do you think of Riccione Bike Hotels?
Its great to deal with the tourists, its a privileged report even after the outing we get together and go for a drink. We look at the fotos and the video that we have made that day, we talk about the routes for the next day ... we make friends.
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?
Yes indeed, I have heard that many cyclists have booked using internet. Most of those who have accompanied me use internet.
The Romagna, the best place for tourists on a bike holiday, the warm welcome, the routes, the fitness, the food and above all the possibility to be always aggiorned with whats going on in your world, these are the ingredients that make this place one the best tourist destinations, what do you think?
Romagna specially Riccione and Cattolica, even if Cesnatico has parted first we are out of the traffic in 500mt,at Cesenatico you have to travel 30Km. Our zone is privileged for bicycle tour in Italy.
Apart from the results obtained up until now, do you think that sympathy and wiliness have there place in your work?
Its very important, if there is no guide available its the end. I know that some cyclists have prenoted because they found out that I was still the guide for the Hotel.
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 don't like following the timetable: I make the route taking into consideration the cyclists present, I evit the heavy traffic as much as possible. As well as this I like to discover new routes and visit new places, convents, rocks etc.- with calm.
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)?
Riccione, San Clemente, Cevolabbate - Croce, Monte colombo e Monte Scudo, Gesso, Montelicciano, Montegrimano, Montecerignone, Villaggio Santa Rita, Lago di Soanne (we stop to eat) and after we take for marecchiese, villa Verucchio, Spadarolo, Riccione (125 km, 3 steep uphill)
In your opinion who are the cyclists that are better prepared\ trained? and also the friendliest ones?
The best trained are the Swiss, the friendliest are the Germans.
