Giuseppe "Beppe" Salerno

Giuseppe "Beppe" Salerno

Giuseppe or “Beppe” hails from Torino and perfected his English while living in the U.S., namely Reno Nevada, San Diego California and Seattle Washington. Not surprisingly, he loves the outdoors and biking all over Italy. Beppe has been a guide with Ciclismo Classico since 2000. He describes traveling by bike to be "addicting." This "addict" lives in anticipation for each bike trip as every one has its own adventures and new experiences, even for this seasoned guide.

When it is too cold to cycle, Beppe pursues his favorite wintertime activity: nordic skiing in the Italian Alps! He is a mountain bike instructor with the Italian Cycling Federation and runs a MTB school to teach kids how to ride. His best ride ever was when he completed the Transrockies Mountain Bike Stage Race in Canada--he had a perfect ride on a tandem! "Soooo smooth," he says of the ride. Also smooth are many of the wines he introduces guests to on tour. He is a wine sommelier and loves to educate guests on wine and wine making.

Your Level is currently set to: All

To change your default trip level please select a new level from the list below.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Average distance per day: 20–30 miles.
