Milano-Sanremo Season Opener Weekend
March 21st - March 24th, 2019
A special long weekend with some epic pre-season training rides ... from the classic climbs of il Lombardia to the Milano-Sanremo, the 2019 season opener. Enjoy a warm-up day on Lake Como to see the Madonna del Ghisallo, followed by the main adventure of the weekend: the Milano-Sanremo! Experience the course as the pros do—we will depart from Milan before dawn on March 23rd and ride the entire course to anticipate the arrival of the racers in Sanremo. We’ll be in the best company of a local and beloved Italian cycling group. There will be different pace options available and a follow van that will give you the option to take a break, if needed. We’ll spend the final night on the seaside in Liguria, celebrating our accomplishment and the start of the 2019 cycling season!
