La più popolare tra le molte salite dei colli bolognesi, nota come salita di Casaglia, è anche la più lunga e la più pedalabile: a parte un breve tratto intorno ai due terzi del percorso, si resta sempre intorno al 5％. In questa variante, arrivati all'incrocio si gira a destra, percorrendo ancora qualche centinaio di metri fino allo scollinamento di Monte Albano. Da qui si scende per circa un km, per poi risalire a San Luca.
