Beautiful tour guided by my friend Massimo, a super cyclist and MTBiker, who adapted to my tourist pace in his Apennines of Modena. Very hot, but the area is rich in fountains, essential on a day like today. Excellent mixed route of asphalt/gravel/natural terrain (in the woods: the "aviator's" descent is super).

I arrive at the legendary Pieve …

May 22, 2023,il giro riproviamo

a simple tour also suitable for gravel ... be careful, however, the first ascent is for Colombian climbers (over 18%) or for e-bikes! also watch out for post-rain landslides... (they made me vary the lap several times)
