The first part is beautiful with a nice village and nice views. After that, the road surface is often poor. Until you get halfway to the SP13, the road surface is dramatic and it is also very steep. Climbfinder indicates 12％ but Garmin says 15％! In the second part of the climb, the road surface is even worse! The descent you have to do really slowly. Back to Sarzana we went via Fosdinovo, the road is better there.... read more

Back to Sarzana we went via Fosdinovo, the road is better there.

Het eerste stuk is mooi met een leuk dorpje en mooi uitzicht. Daarna is vaak het wegdek matig. Het stukje tot je halverwege de SP13 is het wegdek dramatisch en het is ook erg steil. Climbfinder geeft 12％ aan maar Garmin zegt 15％!
In het tweede deel van de klim is het wegdek nog slechter ! De afdaling moet je echt langzaam doen.

Terug naar Sarzana over Fosdinovo gegaan, daar is de weg beter.
