One of the various routes up Monte Capra, the hill above Casalecchio. Here, the climb starts from Via Leopardi, which features some truly challenging gradients, well over 15 per cent. The final section is easier (shared with other climbs), although just under a kilometre from the summit there is a steep section with gradients once again exceeding 10 per cent. The tarmac is in poor condition, but the road is still suitable for road bikes.... read more

Uno dei vari accessi a Monte Capra, colle sopra Casalecchio. Qui si sale da Via Leopardi, che presenta pendenze veramente impegnative, ben sopra il 15％. Più facile l'ultima parte (in comune con altre ascese), anche se a poco meno di un km dalla vetta c'è una rampa con pendenze di nuovo sopra il 10％. Asfalto in condizioni non buone, ma la strada si può comunque percorrere in bici da corsa.
