A forcibly short but very enjoyable climb, in a few hairpin bends the city seems a distant memory. It is one of my favorite climbs from bologna to the hills.... read more

A forcibly short but very enjoyable climb, in a few hairpin bends the city seems a distant memory. It is one of my favorite climbs from bologna to the hills.

Salita forzatamente breve ma godibilissima, in pochi tornanti la città pare un lontano ricordo. É una tra le salite da bologna verso i colli che preferisco.

A micro-Stelvio just off Via Saragozza, a stone's throw from the Dall'Ara stadium; on the right as you go up you will see San Luca. It is a maelstrom of tight hairpin bends divided into two blocks, separated by a straighter section. It is a challenging slope, but if you have the strength to push through the hairpin bends it is a short but enjoyable climb, despite the asphalt being in poor condition.

Un micro-Stelvio appena fuori da Via Saragozza, a due passi dallo stadio Dall'Ara; sulla destra salendo vedrete San Luca. È un vortice di tornanti strettissimi divisi in due blocchi, separati da un pezzo più rettilineo. Pendenze impegnative, ma se avete la forza di rilanciare sui tornanti è una salita breve ma divertente, nonostante l'asfalto in pessime condizioni.

Very impressive climb with short hairpin bends leading to a different view of San Luca.

Salita molto suggestiva con brevi tornanti che portano a una vista di San Luca diversa.
