As summer fast approaches, the call of the wild can be heard, and if you're anything like us here at Bike Perfect you'll be getting your best gravel bike ready and planning some bikepacking adventures. We've recently published a series of features highlighting some of the best Scottish bikepacking routes and others from across the UK too. However, if you feel like heading to warmer climates we've found a cracker in the hidden Tuscan region of Maremma, Italy.
The Maremma Challenge is a 500 km bikepacking adventure featuring around 1000m of off-road climbing. It was created by Giovanni Pettinari, founder of the Maremma Challenge, who has worked for years to develop and fine-tune the Maremma Circuit route.
