Beautiful track of StradeMontane, vaulted to the limit of MTB, the environment and the views are worth the effort

May 24, 2025,Campari Long Ride un po' più soft

Campari Long Ride by @Strade Montane a bit tamed with the continuation on asphalt after the Aiale (avoiding the offroad descent towards San Marcello that made me suffer last time) and visit to the village of Piteglio. Between Prato a Lago and the Piloni a very broken and steep descent: I preferred to do it on foot like last time
