Director of European Operations

Davide Marchegiano

After he started riding on a traditional banana-seat cruiser, Davide has been on a personal journey through virtually all types of bikes: trial bikes and bmx first, then mountain bike downhill and cross country during the “good ol’ days of pioneer mtb in Europe.

He eventually committed to road racing for several years, including two seasons as a semi-pro in Italy during which he entered criteriums, stage races and even a few laps of track racing: as long as they have wheels and pedals, Davide loves them all!

Besides biking, his background is varied: a Scoutmaster for 10 years, Davide studied philosophy of language at college in Torino and served in the army as an officer at the Alpine Military School in Aosta, where he was in charge of scheduling and coordinating the training programs.

Native of Ivrea, Piedmont, he spent 4 years in Toscana before moving back to his hometown, where he still lives and rides with his wife and three kids.

Our Director of European Operations also oversees the Research & Development and coordinates our team of amazing Tour Guides.

All Levels

You’re potentially interested in any level of trip and don't want your site experience tailored to any specific level.

Easy

You’re new to biking, or you just want to take it easy with lots of stops to take pictures and explore and no one hurrying you along. Expect a leisurely pace over generally flat terrain.

Average distance per day: 18-35 miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Athletic Beginner

You’re not a fanatical rider, but you exercise regularly and enjoy a leisurely day’s spin on your bike. You might want to graduate to “intermediate” one day, or not. The pace is relaxed but the terrain gently rolling, more ups and downs, more vistas and valleys than Easy tours.

Average distance per day: 35-45 miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Intermediate

You’re active on your days off, and recreational biking is most likely your weekend sport of choice. You love to ride and it shows in your endurance and strength. A steady but active pace, with opportunities to push yourself and some challenging climbs, with great descents over rolling terrain. (These folks ARE cyclists, they are usually pretty serious cyclists but do not train at the expert level.)

Average distance per day: 40-50 miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Expert

You crave vigorous pacing, challenging climbs and thrilling descents. You crave longer mileage with lots of hills and descents, varying terrain, and a mountain pass or two only makes it better.

Average distance per day: 45+ miles.

Make This Your Default Level

Family

If you have kids under 16, we have great options for you! With fewer hotel changes, easier biking and wheels for all ages, we've got your ideal active family holiday.
