After arrival in Treviso and bike set up, there are multiple options for loop rides leaving from Treviso. Route A - Heading West there is the loop ride out to the market square of Badoere called "La Rotonda", a unique circular structure that once housed local merchants, and now hosts a monthly artisans market. The route is pretty much completely flat, and mostly on quiet country roads.

Route B - Heading Northeast another flat ride that passes through Maserada and skirts the Piave River.

Route C - Heading Northwest, this loop takes in the Montello, a favourite with locals for its quiet roads and varied terrain. There is one medium climb up the 'Dorsale', before the route continues along the edge of the Montello and returns to Treviso

After breakfast, a short van transfer touches you down in the small town of Pieve di Cadore. From here there are three ways to get to our base in Cortina d’Ampezzo: Chill, Challenging, and Epic.

-The Chill option follows the dedicated bike path created from the old train route. There is climbing to be done, but it's fairly harmless. This is the perfect option for those wanting to have an easy day and spend the afternoon exploring Cortina.

-The Challenging option heads up the Cadore Valley through Auronzo and climbs steadily up to the highest point at the Tre Croci climb, before concluding with a spectacular downhill into Cortina.

-The Epic option starts easily enough on the same bike path as the chill option but then heads into the hills, tackling first the Passo Cibiana, followed by the Passo Staulanza, and finally the infamous Passo Giau before descending into Cortina. This is a beautiful but challenging route with over 3000 m of climbing.

Whichever route is chosen, the quaint chic of Cortina’s town center will offer a variety of options for an evening Aperitivo and dinner.

Leaving Cortina, it's time to head into the heart of the Dolomites. The climbing starts shortly after leaving town as the route heads in the direction of the Passo Falzarego.

Those who like it short and challenging can descend down to Cernadoi and take on the legendary Passo Giau before a long downhill delivers you back in Cortina.

For a longer but slightly less intense option, continue climbing a bit more to the top of the Passo Valparola before descending into La Villa and on to Corvara. The twisting switchbacks of the Campolongo pass and descent are followed by one more ascent of the Falzarego, this time from Cernadoi, then a well-earned descent back to Cortina.

Lastly, for those with epic on their minds, from Corvara it's possible to join the famous SellaRonda route that includes the Passo Gardena, Passo Sella, and Passo Pordoi.

This wonderful loop allows a lot of flexibility depending on how ambitious you are. Leaving Cortina, the route heads North on undulating terrain towards the Pustertal Valley. The first decision comes at the intersection in Carbonin.

You can head directly uphill towards Lake Misurina, or first continue further downhill to the valley town of Dobbiaco (Toblach). Either way, after the uphill to Lake Misurina, a harder choice presents itself.

Return directly to Cortina, or muster all your remaining strength for an attempt at the mythical Tre Cime di Lavaredo climb, which starts tamely enough, before heading skyward with gradients well into the two digits. Whichever option you choose, only one relatively minor climb to the Tre Croci pass remains, and it's a wonderful final downhill back to where you started in Cortina.

Starting from charming Conegliano, the route heads North to the first challenge of the day, the Ca del Poggio, a short but steep wake-up for the legs. The route then continues through the vineyards to the town of Rolle and descends down to the valley road connecting Vittorio Veneto and Valdobbiadene.

The more ambitious have the option at this point of taking on the Passo San Boldo, a breathtaking 7 km climb carved into a cliffside of the Belluno pre-alps.

The route then continues through Cison di Valmareno, and climbs up to the town of Santo Stefano, before descending into Valdobbiadene and crossing the Piave river to enter the Colli Asolani area. The last climb of the day is up to the town of Asolo; from there it's a (relatively) easy final push to Bassano.

The first option for this day is heading East into the Colli Asolani around Monfumo.

Reaching Semonzo, it's time to decide: battle up the 18 km and 1500 m of altitude change that is the Monte Grappa, or head directly back to Bassano.

Alternatively, head West through charming Marostica and up the San Luca and Rosina climbs before returning to Bassano.

A short early morning ride has us at the start just outside of Bassano. This unique event allows you to both challenge yourself on the uphill sections, and chill and socialize on the flatter bits.

Having Fabian Cancellara, Davide Cassani (Italian National team coach) and other celebrities of the bike world on hand gives the VENEtoGO event an additional character that will surely be both challenging and memorable.

After a last breakfast, it’s time for the transfer back to Venice for your trip home or further explorations in the area.
