Davide Marchegiano

Davide Marchegiano

An innovator at heart, at age 12 Davide converted his mother's bike into a mountain bike – a two-wheeler virtually unknown in Italy at the time! Hailing from Piedmont, Davide studied philosophy at college in Torino and then went on to serve in the army as an officer in charge of training programs. He has completed semi-pro road races and says he likes to repair and assemble bicycles as much as ride them. With his passion and knowledge of great Italian cycling and his natural leadership skills, Davide ensures that all aspects of your tour are top notch.

Gelato of choice: stracciatella (chocolate chip)
Favorite cycling website: SportPro

“Davide was exceptional, friendly, helpful, courteous and competent.” – Michael of Grand Rapids, MI

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
