With the bdc you really have to go after it. I tackled it descending into the Agogna valley from Ameno. After the bridge over creek, it immediately starts hard (peaks even at 17-18％ in the second hairpin bend) and stays that way for about 500m, until the third hairpin bend. Entering Milanetto the gradient drops dramatically and stays close to 10％ and then becomes very challenging again after Tabarino until a junction with a wash house and fountain on the left. The road continues much easier ... read more

Entering Milanetto the gradient drops dramatically and stays close to 10％ and then becomes very challenging again after Tabarino until a junction with a wash house and fountain on the left. The road continues much easier until the fork for Pecorino or Cassano. Opting for Pecorino, the road is downhill to end unpaved near the church. If you choose the road to Cassano, the asphalt ends shortly after near a hairpin bend to the left. It's a challenging but not impossible climb. In any case it is better to face it with appropriate ratios. With 34 better a 28 (or as in my case a 30), at least for the first stretch,

Con la bdc bisogna proprio andare a cercarla. L'ho affrontata scendendo nella valle dell'Agogna da Ameno. Dopo il ponte su torrente, inzia subito dura (punte anche al 17-18％ nel secondo tornante) e si mantiene tale per circa 500m, fino al terzo tornante. Entrando in Milanetto la pendenza scende drasticamente e si mantiene prossima al 10％ per poi diventare ancora molto impegnativa dopo Tabarino fino ad un bivio con sulla sinistra un lavatoio e una fontana. La strada prosegue molto più facile fino al bivio per Pecorino o Cassano. Optando per Pecorino, la strada è in discsa per terminare sterrata in prossimità della chiesa. Se si sceglie la strada per Cassano, l'asfalto termina poco dopo in prossimità di un tornante verso sinistra. E' una salita impegnativa ma non impossibile. In ogni caso è meglio affrontarla con rapporti adeguati. Col 34 meglio un 28 (o come nel mio caso un 30), almeno per il primo tratto,

Ascent through the woods on roads without traffic and immersed in the nature of Ameno. From the bridge, the road begins to climb steeply towards the houses above and leaves no room for breath until its conclusion. If you wish with a gravel bike (or even a racing bike for the more adventurous) you can continue for another 1.5 km to the Cappella del Vago

Salita nei boschi su strade senza traffico e immerse nella natura di Ameno. Dal ponte la strada inizia a salire subito decisa verso le case sopra e non lascia spazio di fiato sino alla sua conclusione. Volendo con bici da gravel (o anche bici da corsa per i più arrembanti) si può continuare ancora per 1,5km fino alla Cappella del Vago
