the climb is also known as the Salita del Cane ... the first section of about 1.5km up to the state road is terrible with gradients that, in spite of the altimetry shown here, in my opinion exceed 20％. Then the road joins the state road and the gradient becomes normal. We could put this Salita del Cane among the "ignorant Apennine pieces" to put in the palmares.... read more

la Salita è anche detta Salita del Cane ... il primo pezzo di circa 1,5km fino alla statale è terribile con pendenze che, a dispetto dell'altimetria qua esposta, secondo me superano il 20％. Poi la strada si unisce alla statale e la pendenza diventa normale.
Potremmo inserire questa Salita del Cane tra i "pezzi ignoranti appenninici" da mettere nel palmares.
