Questions

Before you book a call.

Do I need to own a Basso?

No. A Basso road or gravel bike is included for the whole stay and fitted before you ride. Plenty of guests arrive having never ridden one.

How much of the week is about the bikes?

Two parts of it: a private visit to the museum, and the factory where the frames are assembled. The factory floor is closed to the public: only guests who come with Epic Italy go inside. The rest is riding the roads those bikes were designed around, with the food and wine treated as half the point.

How many of us need to come?

Groups are six to twelve. Smaller groups are possible and we will talk it through on the call.

Shall we talk it through?

Fifteen minutes with Susi and Benji. We will ask how you ride, how you like to travel, and when you can get here. No pitch.
