READ THE FULL GRANFONDO NOVE COLLI REVIEW →
Nine Romagna hills, Pantani's hometown, since 1971.
Granfondo Nove Colli opens with a flat 28 km Adriatic coastal run before nine named Romagna hills in succession — Barbotto's 18% finale, Monte Pugliano's 791 m summit, Gorolo's 17-20% closer. No single climb is alpine, but 3,814 m over 200 km adds up fast.
For the rider with eight focused weeks and seven to eleven hours a week, this plan concentrates on the repeated hill climbing the nine-hill course demands.
INSIDE THE FINISHER PLAN — 7–11 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat protocols for when your race calls for them, peloton skills workouts, and nutrition and hydration guidance.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
