A Perfect Gravel Itinerary
Thanks to our constant commitment and the meticulous work carried out in recent months, we ensure a safe ride along an itinerary designed to help you discover the best of this region in a memorable way.
Along the way, you will be able to admire enchanting places such as the famous beach of Cala Violina, where the sand seems to sing under your steps.
Crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, ancient villages that seem suspended in time, hidden bays between rocky promontories and dozens of kilometers of dirt roads await you, perfect for exploring on your bike
Cala Violina
What if we told you an even more surprising secret? During your ride, we will take you right next to Cala Violina, an enchanting beach that defies the imagination.
But this is no ordinary beach, it is a marvel of sound. Its name, Cala Violina, comes from a detail that makes it one of a kind: the tiny grains of quartz that make up the sand. Every step you take on this beach releases a sweet and harmonious melody as if nature itself were playing a symphony just for you.
Cala Violina is a true jewel hidden between two mighty promontories and is located within the Scarlino Nature Reserve. This earthly paradise is accessible only on foot or by bicycle, making the experience even more exclusive and memorable.
Puntala Camp & Resort
The event will be based at the renowned PuntAla Camp & Resort**, a property nestled in a lush pine forest and facing a beautiful beach.
This enchanting place offers much more than just a location. In addition to the warm welcome of its attentive staff, you will be able to enjoy a fully equipped bike center for all your cycling needs. Plus, for those who love adrenaline, there is even a pump track!
It will be the perfect starting point for an unforgettable gravel bike adventure, where you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Tuscany and enjoy every comfort upon your return
Beyond the bicycle
After an exciting cycling adventure, there is no better way to end the day than to delight in the authentic flavors of this area. Here you can taste dishes that represent the culinary excellence of the region, satisfying every palate.
We will delight you with a selection of typical and high-quality dishes, which you can taste at the refreshment points along the route or at the final refreshment point. Dishes are prepared with skill and local ingredients, but also delicious cold cuts from local farms.
You will live a complete experience which involves not only the passion for gravel cycling but also the immersion in the flavors and aromas of the local tradition. Let your cycling adventure end with an authentic culinary experience that will leave you with a smile on your face.
No Race No stress
We believe that cycling offers much more than just a competitive race. For this reason, we want to let you know that our event does not have a final ranking. If you are looking for a Gravel event to try to come in first, Unpaved Roads is certainly not the event for you. Our mission is to offer something different.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for an experience that allows you to raise your head, admire breathtaking views and share the love of cycling with a community of enthusiasts, you are in the right place.
We believe that cycling is a way of discovery, exploration, escape from the daily routine, friendship and freedom. Precisely for this reason we created Unpaved Roads, an event that offers you the opportunity to ride along the most spectacular Gravel roads, surrounded by hundreds of other enthusiasts like you.
Unpaved Roads is much more than just a race. It is an invitation to live the adventure to the fullest, to create special connections and to enjoy every single moment on your bike.
Ci impegniamo al messimo per te (e ci peace)

We are people like you, passionate about cycling, who have decided to commit themselves to those who love to pedal. For us, it is essential to enhance the territories in which our events take place, creating unique routes that can surprise you. Each route is the result of careful planning, studied in the smallest details to offer you an exceptional experience while you are in the saddle of your bike.
But we do not stop at just creating the routes. We collaborate closely with the local people, promoting local activities and specialties. We want you to experience unique sensations and emotions, immersing yourself in the authenticity of the local communities and the beauty of their landscapes.
