    Salve di nuovo, da Gattaiola, dalla bella chiesa che si trova sulla strada, sono circa 2,5km con 400 metri di salita. La prima parte su strada sterrata e la seconda su sentiero. Per me un giro tranquillo da inizio di stagione. Saluti

    Grazie mille di avermi risposto, se posso le chiederei un'ultima cosa. Salendo da Gattaiola quanto tempo ci mettiamo? È faticoso? La ringrazio ancora e le auguro una buona serata
