Start your racebike journey from Brescia and climb into the lush wooded slopes of Monte Maddalena. This moderate route covers 14.5 miles (23.4 km) and gains 2437 feet (743 metres) of elevation. You can expect to complete it in about 1 hours and 33 minutes. As you ascend, the city views give way to green hills, leading to the summit where you'll see Brescia's cathedral dome and castle. On clear days, you might even spot Monte Rosa and Lake Garda in the distance.
This demanding climb requires good fitness, with some segments reaching a 10% gradient. While the main asphalt road is mostly well-paved, be aware of potential potholes, especially on the descent. Monte Maddalena is a popular spot for cyclists, particularly during summer months. You will find a small restaurant near the summit, perfect for a break and a refuel after your effort.
