Team Cyan Nord – Cyan Road Italy 2027

Cyan Road 2027 – from the Adriatic Sea to Italian medieval towns

From coastal roads to Pantani's backyard - more than just a bike ride

In 2027, Team Cyan Nord-Norge and Team Cyan Rogaland will take the Cyan Road to Italy, with Gabicce Mare on the Adriatic coast as their base throughout the trip.

From Gabicce Mare, the roads quickly lead away from the Adriatic Sea and into the rolling landscape between Marche and Emilia-Romagna. Here, fast sections alternate with long climbs, small villages, and spectacular medieval towns on the hills along the way.

This is also the territory of cycling legend Marco Pantani. "Il Pirata" trained on these roads, and several of the climbs in the area hold a very special place in Italian cycling history – not least Monte Carpegna. 

Urbino, a UNESCO World Heritage site, San Marino, Gradara, San Leo, Saludecio, and Mondaino are among the places we will cycle to or pass along the way.

A trip that requires preparation

Cyan Road takes place over several days, and some of the stages will be demanding, with hilly terrain and significant elevation gain. It is therefore important that everyone who becomes part of the team shows up at the start well prepared physically.

As a participant in Team Cyan, you are expected to have experience with road cycling, feel confident riding in a peloton, and have prepared yourself for the strain of several consecutive days on the bike.

We ride as one team, and completing the journey is therefore not just about your own capacity – but also about contributing to the team and the community.

Basecamp in Gabicce Mare

Our base for the week is the small town of Gabicce Mare, located in the far north of Marche, right on the border with Emilia-Romagna. Here we will stay at Hotel Marinella, a cozy, family-run hotel with a fantastic location just a few steps from the beach.

The hotel is well-equipped for cyclists, offering secure bike parking, a very good workbench and tools for mechanics, as well as everything we need before and after the daily ride. The rental bikes, newer Giant TCR models, are delivered directly to the hotel, ready for use. More information about the bikes can be found further down the page.

Cyan Road on Italian Roads

The landscape between Marche and Emilia-Romagna offers us varied stages. From the coast, the roads head inland between hills, vineyards, and small villages, featuring everything from fast sections to longer climbs and plenty of elevation gain.

Along the way, we ride through an area rich in Italian cycling history and culture. Saludecio, San Leo, Mondaino, and Urbino are among the medieval towns in the area, along with the Republic of San Marino.

Cyan Road is more than just a bike ride. We ride together as Team Cyan to create visibility and increase awareness around children and young people's mental health.

Also time for Italy

Once the day's stage is completed, Gabicce Mare and the Adriatic Sea await. Hotel Marinella is located right next to the beach, and the afternoons and evenings provide opportunities to experience what the area has to offer.

Having the same base throughout the week provides a great framework for the trip – while each day offers a new stage and new experiences on the bike.

Day 1-8Weekly program

Treningstur på sykkel - Italia & San Marino | Expa Travel

On the day of arrival, we gather for a briefing and review of the week's program before a joint welcome dinner.

Team Cyan Nord-Norge and Team Cyan Rogaland share the same base hotel throughout the stay, but complete their own stages each day. Each evening, the teams review the next day's stage and what is important for the execution.

The area around Gabicce Mare is hilly and offers very varied cycling – from fast sections along the coast to longer climbs and many altitude meters inland.

Just a few kilometers from the coast, the traffic decreases noticeably, and the roads take us through a varied and beautiful landscape between Marche and Emilia-Romagna.
