Riccione – Misano – San Giovanni in Marignano – Montefiore Conca – Tavoleto – Mondaino

Rising from the shoreline of Riccione, the route enters the historic hills of the Valconca, a land once defended by the powerful Malatesta family. Gravel tracks, quiet woods and broad Adriatic views accompany climbs and technical stretches that make this a medium-to-challenging ride. The trail passes significant medieval sites: the imposing Castle of Montefiore Conca, a key Malatesta residence, and Tavoleto, once a strategic stronghold controlling the hill routes. Mondaino, with its Renaissance-style circular square and ancient walls, completes the journey back toward the sea.
