ADDED FALL DEPARTURE
UMBRIA GUEST CHEF BIKING ADVENTURE
OCTOBER 2-9, 2005 - GUEST CHEF RON SUHANOSKY
(June 22, 2005) Boston, Mass. - Bike Riders, the adventure travel company offering distinctive adventure vacations, has announced an added departure to its 2005 season. Due to the popular demand of our Guest Chef Biking Adventures, Bike Riders is happy to announce an added departure this fall. Join award-winning chef, Ron Suhanosky of Nantucket's Sfoglia on Bike Riders' Umbria Guest Chef Biking Adventure, October 2-9.
Ride through the green heart of Italy with Chef Ron Suhanosky of Nantucket's rustic and intimate Trattoria Sfoglia on our Cycling & Cucina Guest Chef Biking Adventure in Umbria, Italy from October 2-9. Bike along quiet ancient footpaths that wind through silver-green olive groves and lush vineyards, opening up near tiny hamlets and quaint villages rich in both culinary delights and remarkable Renaissance frescoes. Ron, whose passion for pasta began by spending childhood Sunday mornings with his great-grandmother, teaches us how to roll out delicious Umbrian pastas such as stringozzi and umbricelli. Chef Suhanosky knows the back roads of Umbria well, and shares his knowledge and love for the Umbrian way of life as we sample organic olive oil, create authentic game dishes and taste the excellent Sagrantino di Montefalco, Umbria's most distinctive wine.
Of all the active travel companies, only Bike Riders offer Guest Chef Adventures. Unlike other biking and walking outfitters, Bike Riders limits its Guest Chef Adventures (and its other trips) to no more than sixteen travelers, ensuring that each food lover enjoys personal, first-hand experience of cooking with the guest chef, and a rich give-and-take with local producers and restaurateurs.
Cost: $3480/person
Date: Oct. 2-9, 2005
Guest Chef: Ron Suhanosky, Chef/Owner of Sfoglia, Nantucket, MA

Ron & Suhanosky - Umbria: Cycling & Cucina
Ron is a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America. He has held positions at restaurants such as The River Café (NYC) and Park Avenue Café (NYC). After an eight month excursion of cooking through the backroads of Italy, he returned to become the chef of Alloro (Boston), Galleria Italiana (Boston) and Il Buco (NYC). Ron's romance and devotion to pasta began as a child when his great grandmother would cook for the family every Sunday. Ron and his wife own Sfoglia, named after his true passion. Sfoglia refers to pasta sfoglia, a sheet of uncut pasta.
