Set against the timeless backdrop of Pisa, Italy, Smile & Ride offers a premium six-day road cycling journey that merges high-performance technology with the distinct terrain of Tuscany. Known worldwide for its iconic Leaning Tower, Pisa is more than just a historic city; its surrounding landscapes provide a dynamic canvas for cyclists craving both challenge and exhilaration. The Ride is centered around the Wilier GTR TEAM bike—a precision-engineered, carbon frame road bike outfitted with Shimano Ultegra components—balancing speed and comfort for those long rides through rolling hills and rustic villages.
Cycling enthusiasts will find themselves navigating a patchwork of cobblestone streets, vineyard-lined country roads, and gentle Tuscan slopes, where the air carries the scent of cypresses and wildflowers.

This experience stands apart by blending expertly maintained equipment with a deep connection to local culture and geography—making it ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who appreciate both the machine and the scenery. Beyond the rides, participants can savor local Tuscan flavors and historic hamlets untouched by mass tourism, delivering an authentic immersion into this region’s outdoor lifestyle.
