    Total Bike Tour of about 2h : The departure time varies from 6.20pm to 7.30pm depending on the season. An Experience full of 'Good Vibes'. The energy of sunset and the return to dusk. The unspoilt nature, the non-existent traffic (we are in the middle of Mount Calamita with the 1st village, Capoliveri, spaced by 7km of dirt road), will make everything really special. The tour will take place on Mount Calamita and then head, for bikers with a minimum of experience, to the Innamorata beach. Technically easy but unpaved route that therefore requires a minimum of cycling experience. Return at dusk, turning on the light on the bike (if necessary), towards the starting point (Elba MTB Capoliveri, in the center of Tenuta delle Ripalte) via a dirt road of about 30 minutes. Possibility, after the tour, to eat something at the bar or restaurant of the Tenuta delle Ripalte.
