Elba is gorgeous for cycling.
Done this climb in September and to the highest (bikeable) point on Elba is well worth the effort. Clearly, the climb has two parts. First part with hairpin bends goes up gradually on good tarmac. After the turn-off, it gets steeper and the tarmac worse. Between the two turns along the tower is the toughest part of the climb. After that, it's a bit of a stretch to the top and the beautiful view.
Elba is schitterend om te fietsen.
In september deze beklimming gedaan en naar het hoogste (fietsbare) punt van Elba is de moeite waard. Duidelijk is dat de beklimming uit twee delen bestaat. Eerste deel met haarspeldbochten gaat geleidelijk omhoog over goed asfalt. Na de afslag wordt het stijler en het asfalt slechter. Tussen de twee bochten langs de toren is het zwaarste stuk van de beklimming. Vervolgens is het nog even doortrekken tot boven en het mooie uitzicht.
