80 Voglia di Gravel

80 Voglia di Gravel is a slow ride in the original sense: no race, no timed sections, just the white roads of the Siena countryside and the food stops along them. Gravel Bike Siena, the local club that created it, redraws the routes each year so returning riders find new stretches and new views.

The base is the Parco dell'Acqua in Rapolano Terme, an old spa town facing the Antica Querciolaia baths, and the loops roll out across the Crete Senesi towards the Val d'Orcia and the edge of the Chianti on quiet unpaved and secondary roads. Tuscan produce fills the feed stations, and the evening before turns the park into a street food and live music gathering for riders and friends.
