What is a Gravel Clinic?
It’s easier to start by saying what it isn’t: it’s not a race, and it’s not just a gathering or a training camp.
It’s an educational and immersive experience: three days of riding, improving your technique, and truly understanding how to handle a gravel bike—and yourself.
It’s a “clinic” in the true sense of the word: you learn, you try, you grow.
We offer this clinic for those who have a goal: to improve.
For beginners and experts alike: our coaches will be at your disposal to help you take a leap forward in bike fitting, riding technique, (emergency) mechanics, nutrition…
Why participate in a
Gravel Clinic?
Each of you has a goal to achieve on the bike, whether it’s reaching a destination or the pleasure of riding at a leisurely pace.
At the Peccioli Gravel Clinic, we want to support you in achieving your goals.
Often, the biggest mistake isn’t technical—it’s cultural. We tend to overcomplicate things: too many charts, too many numbers, too much information without a clear thread.
But there are three key factors that make all the difference: not paying enough attention to your riding position; managing intensity without much awareness; and difficulty interpreting your own sensations.
At a Gravel Clinic, we address these issues through hands-on practice and instruction.

Dedicated to gravel, but not only.
Gravel has established itself as the most open and versatile discipline, capable of combining sport, tourism, culture, and education. It is precisely from this vision that the Peccioli Gravel Clinic was born.
But what we learn on the dirt can also be applied to the road.
