      Pendenza regolare ma decisa.
      Il fondo peggiora mano mano che si sale
      adessoomaipiu adessoomaipiu
      Si tratta di una strada, non un singletrack, interamente selciata con piccoli sassi. Una prima parte presenta il fondo rimesso a nuovo, poi questi diventa più usurato dal tempo e la pedalata è decisamente più faticosa. Con una e-bike è una passeggiata, ma con una bici è un bel viaggio nel mondo del fiatone e dei battiti ad alto regime perché non molla mai fin dopo il rifugio Caviano...

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
