Preparati per un viaggio indimenticabile! Pedaleremo insieme per 25 km attraverso il cuore della splendida campagna pugliese, dove ogni curva svela una nuova meraviglia!
Unisciti a noi mentre condividiamo i nostri luoghi preferiti, i posti che hanno un significato speciale nella vita quotidiana. La nostra avventura inizia nell’incantevole Polignano a Mare, conosciuta come la “Perla dell’Adriatico”, e ci porta a Conversano, una gemma nascosta ricca di storia e arte. Lungo il percorso, faremo una sosta in una graziosa panetteria locale, dove ci attende la focaccia pugliese appena sfornata, perfettamente abbinata a un bicchiere di vino. Prima di tornare a Polignano, facciamo una pausa per rinfrescarci con una bevanda fresca e ricaricarci ammirando lo splendido Castello di Conversano. Ci immergeremo nella vita autentica locale, lontani dai luoghi affollati, circondati dalla bellezza della natura.
