The Crazy
Bike Club began 10 years ago, when club president Galizio Caracenai
and vice president Giancarlo Ramazzotti began inviting others to
join them on their weekly rides.
Eventually the small group of seven or eight bikers decided to get team jerseys to wear, and chose the name Crazy Bike as their title, to distinguish themselves from other regional groups that had begun to crop up. Both Caracenai and Ramazzotti took up the sport as a way to become more physically fit, and to enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings. |

bike trails of Mount Conero.

In addition, the sport offers them a chance to meet other riders who share a similar passion for biking and reverence for the outdoors. Castellani joined the club through mutual friends, and quickly established herself as a contender. “When people see women riding, they think it is an easy sport. But it isn’t true. The first time I raced, Olivia passed me,” says Caracenai.
