ROSSI ANDREA

SPORTS EXPERIENCES:
Cycling has been my great passion for 34 years. I started mountain biking for about three years, then moved on to the road, where I devoted myself for a long time to circuit racing.

After a period away from racing, in recent years I have returned to cycling regularly, dedicating myself to various cycling activities, including many Granfondos. My luggage also includes travel experiences, both on road bikes and on Gravel bikes, and knowledge of the area, especially Tuscany.

CREAZIONE DI ITINERARI
I designed personal trip. Recently I designed a Gravel Trip that start from Volterra: towards Gambassi Terme, pass by an amazing part of Via Francigena, arrived to San Gimignano and then arrived again in Volterra.

In each of my runs I try to discover a new Gravel route, then I can use it to project a new journey with different skill levels and different distances. I use this route in collaboration with hotels, B&Bs, and agritourism businesses, so you can leave your booked hotel, enjoy the trip with my guide, and return to the hotel after a beautiful day exploring new places, new cities, new small villages, and after trying new experiences and sampling local products.

"Wanderlust By Bicycle"

Wanderlust By Bicycle

My mission is not to sell a pre-arranged trip, but to provide you with my experience to accompany you on a discovery of an Italy that is not found in guides.
I want to take you where the land is still authentic, away from mass tourism and congested routes, to breathe in the beauty of hidden and silent places.

More than a guide, a companion of adventure.
I firmly believe that the quality of an experience depends on the people you share it with. For this reason, on our journey I will not only be your technical reference, but a friend.
Imagine going on an adventure with your best friend: the effort is divided, the discoveries multiply, and each stop becomes a moment of spontaneous conviviality.

Ideation and Scouting: I put my knowledge of the area at your disposal to draw unique and off-the-radar routes.

Human Connection: We transform every kilometer into an authentic group experience, based on trust and sharing.

We're not just following a GPS track. We are having an adventure, side by side.
