The classic "Nord" del Roccolo is one of the most famous climbs in the Euganean Hills, often ridden by professionals during the Giro d'Italia or the Giro del Veneto.
The starting point is in front of La Cicogna restaurant, on the road from Torreglia to Castelnuovo. So you set off already with a few metres in your legs.
The profile is rather irregular, alternating between resting stretches at 4-5 ％ and merciless but short bursts over 15％. Of particular note is a "S" at the halfway point and the last few hairpin bends that offer the steepest gradients. The asphalt is mediocre and the setting is wooded for long stretches, so care must be taken when descending in winter. The pass is not a viewpoint, but the presence of a restaurant is tempting.
La classica "Nord" del Roccolo è una delle salite più famose degli Euganei, molte volte percorsa anche dai professionisti durante il Giro d'Italia o il Giro del Veneto.
Il punto d'attacco è di fronte al ristorante La Cicogna, sulla strada che porta da Torreglia a Castelnuovo. Quindi si parte già con un po' di metri nelle gambe.
Il profilo è piuttosto irregolare, alternando tratti di riposo al 4-5 ％ a strappi impietosi ma brevi oltre il 15％. Da notare in particolare una "S" a metà percorso e gli ultimi tornanti che propongono le pendenze più aspre. L'asfalto è mediocre e l'ambientazione per lunghi tratti boscosa, quindi occorre fare molta attenzione in discesa d'inverno. Il valico non è un punto panoramico, ma è allettante la presenza di un ristorante.
If you want to go from north to south through the Colli Eugani, this is a quiet road between Monte Venda and Monte Rua. A pass, the Rocollo pass. After 200 metres, while you are still cycling between the farms, there is already a nice bump of 12 or 13％. At the end of the climb there are three hairpin bends, and of course they are there for a reason. When you reach the top, you can take a rest between the trees and look at the view. And then quickly on to the next climb.
Als je van noord naar zuid door de Colli Eugani wil, is dit een rustige weg tussen de Monte Venda en de Monte Rua door. Een pas dus, de Rocollo-pas. Na 200 meter, als je nog tussen de boerderijen fiets, is er al een lekkere bump van 12 of 13％. Aan het einde van de klim heb je drie haarspeldbochten en die zitten er natuurlijk niet voor niets. Als je boven bent kun je even uitpuffen tussen de bomen en naar het uitzicht kijken. En daarna gauw verder naar de volgende klim.
