After a long sequence of climbs and descents, riders eventually return to Cesenatico for the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official long-route description currently places the start at Colonia Agip in Cesenatico, with the first 28 kilometres leading toward the first climb near Bertinoro.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/parcours\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s one of the characteristics that makes Nove Colli unusual: you begin beside the sea but spend much of the day fighting your way through the Italian hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nove Colli 2027 Long Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For experienced riders, the headline challenge is the&nbsp;<strong>200 km long route<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current official route figures are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance:<\/strong>\u00a0200 km<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elevation gain:<\/strong>\u00a03,814 m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maximum altitude:<\/strong>\u00a0791 m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maximum gradient:<\/strong>\u00a018%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those numbers don&#8217;t fully explain the difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than depending on one gigantic Alpine climb, Nove Colli repeatedly asks you to climb, descend, recover and climb again. That accumulated fatigue is one of the defining challenges of the event.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/parcours\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Nine Climbs of Nove Colli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current long course takes riders over nine classic climbs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Polenta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pieve di Rivoschio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ciola<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barbotto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Montetiffi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perticara<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monte Pugliano<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Passo delle Siepi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gorolo<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official information for the most recent edition describes these as the nine climbs of the 200 km route.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/event\/registrations-for-nove-colli-2026-open-on-november-5\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first comes relatively early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Polenta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first climb begins around kilometre 37 near Bertinoro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is approximately&nbsp;<strong>8 km long<\/strong>, averaging around&nbsp;<strong>3%<\/strong>, although sections reach a maximum gradient of&nbsp;<strong>13%<\/strong>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/parcours\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That may sound relatively gentle, but the biggest mistake is treating the opening climbs as if they were the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a very long day ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pieve di Rivoschio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next major ascent arrives around kilometre 65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official route gives approximately&nbsp;<strong>8 km at 4.7% average<\/strong>, with sections reaching&nbsp;<strong>9%<\/strong>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/parcours\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ciola<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around kilometre 77 comes Ciola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official route describes roughly&nbsp;<strong>6 km of climbing<\/strong>, with an average gradient of about&nbsp;<strong>5.5%<\/strong>&nbsp;and maximum sections reaching&nbsp;<strong>11%<\/strong>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/event\/nove-colli-reaches-its-55th-edition-and-returns-to-its-roots\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, the succession of hills becomes increasingly important. Managing effort rather than chasing riders around you is essential if you want to reach the final climbs in good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nove Colli Medium Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t have to ride 200 kilometres to experience Nove Colli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official&nbsp;<strong>medium route is 137 km with approximately 1,872 metres of elevation gain<\/strong>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many amateur riders, this could be the better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It still gives you the atmosphere of one of Italy&#8217;s major gran fondos and plenty of climbing, but requires substantially less endurance than the full 200 km course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re entering your first international gran fondo, choosing the shorter route is not a failure. Finishing strongly and enjoying the event is usually far better than spending the final hours simply trying to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is There a Nove Colli Gravel Route?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current official programme also includes a&nbsp;<strong>107 km gravel route with approximately 1,798 metres of climbing<\/strong>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, gravel routes can be more vulnerable to modifications caused by road or trail conditions. The 2026 gravel route, for example, required an adjustment because of a road closure.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re specifically planning to ride gravel in 2027, check the final course information closer to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Does Nove Colli 2027 Registration Open?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of&nbsp;<strong>August 30, 2026<\/strong>, the organisers have confirmed the event date but have not yet published the complete general registration timetable for Nove Colli 2027 on the official event website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So don&#8217;t rely on unofficial registration dates yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For context only, registration for the 2026 edition opened on&nbsp;<strong>November 5, 2025<\/strong>. That does&nbsp;<strong>not<\/strong>&nbsp;mean 2027 registration will necessarily follow the same schedule.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/event\/registrations-for-nove-colli-2026-open-on-november-5\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will update this guide as soon as the organisers publish the 2027 registration details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2192 Aqu\u00ed pondr\u00eda un recordatorio editorial para nosotros: actualizar esta secci\u00f3n en cuanto salga la inscripci\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Difficult Is Nove Colli?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 200 km route is a serious endurance challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of&nbsp;<strong>200 kilometres, more than 3,800 metres of climbing and gradients reaching 18%<\/strong>&nbsp;means good general fitness alone isn&#8217;t enough.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.novecolli.it\/en-GB\/parcours\">novecolli.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to be comfortable with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>riding for many hours;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>repeated climbing;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>descending while fatigued;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>eating and drinking on the bike;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pacing yourself in large groups;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>managing changing weather conditions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>keeping enough energy for the final part of the route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rider who can comfortably complete 120\u2013150 km rides should still build toward longer days before attempting the full Nove Colli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Train for Nove Colli 2027<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your preparation should gradually combine endurance and climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build Your Endurance First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t begin by obsessing over steep climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Build a solid aerobic base that allows you to ride comfortably for several hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the event approaches, progressively increase the duration of your longest rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Repeated Climbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nove Colli isn&#8217;t simply about climbing once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defining challenge is doing it repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Training rides containing several medium-length climbs are therefore more specific than riding one long climb and going home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Eating on the Bike<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot successfully ride 200 km on breakfast alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use your long training rides to establish a nutrition routine and test the food, drinks and gels you intend to use on event day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never make race day the first time you try a new nutrition strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Ignore Descending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost 4,000 metres of climbing also means a lot of descending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being relaxed and technically comfortable downhill can save energy as well as time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing Your Bike for Nove Colli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give your bike a complete check several weeks before the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay particular attention to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>brake pads;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tyres;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>drivetrain wear;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chain;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>gearing;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cleats;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wheel condition;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bolts and cockpit;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>saddle position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid major position or equipment changes immediately before travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your gearing also matters. Even a strong cyclist can benefit from having sufficiently low gearing after several hours and thousands of metres of climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when you&#8217;re surrounded by thousands of other bikes at a major gran fondo, being able to recognize your own bike quickly is surprisingly useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n  If Italy is on your cycling bucket list, you may also want to read our\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/pegatin.com\/blog\/maratona-dles-dolomites-2027-guide\/\" title=\"Maratona dles Dolomites 2027 Guide\">\n    Maratona dles Dolomites 2027 guide\n  <\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n  Planning your 2027 cycling season?
