Alessi

Ciao! I'm Alessi. I’ve been riding Italy’s roads for over 20 years, from quiet countryside loops to the iconic climbs that feature in the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. If there’s a switchback with a view, I’ve probably been on it!

Cycling here isn’t just sport, it’s culture. I can help you choose the right cycling region for your level, the safest and most scenic routes, when to go (and of course- when not to). I reccommend where to stop for the perfect espresso or mid ride pasta - yes this is allowed! I’ll also point you toward the best local bike shops for rentals, tuning, or the emergency tube you didn’t know you needed.

Whether you want to do a famous alpine pass, ride through rolling Tuscan hills, or enjoy a coastal ride with incredible views, I’ll help you plan it properly — so you spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the ride.

And yes, I’ll also tell you what to eat along the way. Carbs are not optional.”

My specialties are: Road cycling, a bit about gravel cycling, mountain passes, Giro & Tour routes, local trattorias, cycling culture, espresso stops.
