On a fully loaded touring bike, the climb was harder than expected, but beautiful. The gravel is really perfect to ride on and the surroundings are beautiful. We also didn't encounter a single car during the entire ride. It could always be like this!... read more

Auf einem voll beladenen Tourenfahrrad war der Anstieg schwerer als gedacht, aber wunderschön. Der Schotter ist wirklich perfekt zu fahren und die Umgebung wunderschön. Während der gesamten Fahrt ist uns außerdem kein einziges Auto begegnet. So könnte es immer sein!

Great climb; maybe because it was my first 'Strade Bianche' strip of the day, but maybe also just because it is a fantastic setting. From San Rocco, things start to get fun early on; as soon as you turn onto the long gravel strip with iconic cypress trees you get goosebumps for the first time. The climb starts out steep and then keeps going briskly but consistently.
On Thursday 9 May 2024, the Giro d'Italia will tackle this strip.

Geweldige klim; misschien omdat het mijn eerste 'Strade Bianche' strook van de dag was, maar misschien ook gewoon omdat het een fantastische omgeving is. Vanuit San Rocco begint het al vroeg leuk te worden; zodra je de lange gravel strook met iconische cipressen opdraait krijg je voor het eerst kippenvel. De klim begint stijl en blijft daarna stevig maar constant doortrekken.
Op donderdag 9 mei 2024 doet de Giro d'Italia deze strook aan.
