I rode it in the 1980s on a Wolsit 52 fixed-gear bike with rod brakes and a 43 x 16. I rode it in 28' 40'' which for a bike of that type weighing around 20 kg was an Olympic time. I rode it 118 times without ever putting my foot on the ground. I also remember once with a Graziella in about 40 minutes. Other times, other heroism. Pietro... read more

La percorrevo negli anni 80 con una Wolsit 52 scatto fisso freni a bacchetta con un 43 x 16. La percorsi in 28' 40'' che per una bicicletta di quel tipo circa 20 kg era un tempo olimpionico. La percorsi 118 volte senza mettere mai il piede per terra. Una volta ricordo anche con una Graziella in circa 40 minuti.
Altri tempi altro eroismo. Pietro

Bella salita esposta al sole in ogni stagione, arrivati al paese di Castelluccio si può godere di un ottimo panorama e trovare un ristoro per poi proseguire oltre seguendo le indicazioni per "casette del doccione" per arrivare in una foresta a 1000 MT s.l.m dove terminerà l'asfalto.
