After 25 editions of CicloRaduni and MedioFondo, Genova1913 changes the "format" and organizes the 1st edition of GranMilàn200: a randonnée for moderately trained legs. River plain with panoramic passages along the banks of the Po on the way out and the Ticino on the way back. Tough and short climbs (Fortunago wall) and long, rideable climbs in Oltrepò. Immersed in nature all day long.
Selected "quiet and good" roads: little traffic and good road surface.
Bobbio, the historic center on the Via Francigena, after crossing just below P.sso Penice; check-points and refreshment at: Bobbio (100km) and Montecalvo Versiggia (148km)
