Takes place from 10 to 12 March 2023 the sixth edition of "L'Ardita" the historical bike race of Alpe di Poti and “Bicinfiera” the Arezzo Bike Fair.

Originally conceived as a side event of the “Antique Fair of Arezzo”, which takes place a week earlier, “Bicinfiera” is a vintage bike festival with a great programme of events for vintage cycling enthusiasts and bike collectors. The event will take place in Arezzo’s beautiful Piazza Grande providing a perfect location for the three day vintage bike fair.

Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to see some fine examples of bikes and spare parts  from yesteryear while it will also be possible to visit stands where local bike shops will present the latest bikes and cycling equipment available in 2022.

At the heart of the festival is the “L'Ardita” a vintage bike event  which takes place on Sunday 12 March 2023 and gives vintage bike enthusiasts the opportunity to take on the famous Aretine climb of Alpe di Poti which featured in last year’s edition of the Giro d’Italia 2016 as well as other important races down through the years.

The 2021 edition of the L’Ardita, together with the classic Alpe di Poti route, will also offer other two route called the Gourmet and Classic ride which offers the less experienced rider the possibility to experience the charm of a vintage bike event for the first time. Featuring rolling terrain and without any major climbs this route will give the vintage cyclist the opportunity to discover the classic Tuscan beauty of Arezzo and its nearby villages as well as the chance to savor some fine food and wine of this beautiful part of Tuscany. As of this year this ride will be part of a series of events for bike tourists promoted by the Historic Bikes Register “Il Registro Storico Cicli”.
