The longest climb of the Bolognese Apennines, scene of a stage of the 2004 Giro: Gilberto Simoni won solo that day.

The longest climb of the Bolognese Apennines, scene of a stage of the 2004 Giro: Gilberto Simoni won solo that day.
The first 22 kilometres, until after La Cà, are very easy, pedalable, in a pleasant pre-Apennine setting: the crossings of the towns (Lizzano, Vidiciatico) offer some distraction from fatigue.
In the last five kilometres, the gradients become steeper, especially once past the village of Madonna dell'Acero: from here it almost always stays above 10％, and a particularly poisonous final ramp risks disconcerting those who think that once they get to the cable cars the most is done.
For Apennine cyclists, this is a climb to have on the CV.

La salita più lunga dell'Appennino bolognese, teatro di una tappa del Giro 2004: quel giorno vinse in solitaria Gilberto Simoni.
I primi 22 chilometri, fino a dopo La Cà, sono molto facili, pedalabili, in un piacevole contesto pre-appenninico: gli attraversamenti dei centri abitati (Lizzano, Vidiciatico) offrono un po' di distrazione dalla fatica.
Negli ultimi cinque chilometri, le pendenze diventano invece più aspre, in particolar modo una volta superata la località di Madonna dell'Acero: da qui si resta quasi sempre sopra il 10％, e una rampa finale particolarmente velenosa rischia di spiazzare chi pensa che arrivati alle funivie il più sia fatto.
Per i ciclistici appenninici, una salita da avere nel curriculum.
