January 26, 2025,Gravellura bello ma se piove anche no!

Very beautiful route initially following the Villoresi canal then crossing the center of Saronno then the Lura then a nice stretch in the Pineta Park and finally the Olona valley and then Castellanza, Legnano and finally taking the Villoresi again, the only relevant aspect is the ground which in case of rain is certainly challenging

Following a trail and discovering different paths from the usual ring. A bit of an exaggerated difference in altitude but the 550 were reached.

Departure immediately after the storm at 9 (in January 🤔). We go up from Lura park, pine forest and then down from Olona, challenging mud but beautiful! We also do an hour in the pouring rain...only for 45 braves 🤭
