Hey folks,
I wanted to share a ride I did this summer, covering about 72 km and climbing roughly 2,000 m of elevation. I adapted an existing route for the ride.
The route I followed (and slightly modified) is based on the Verona & Lessinia Loop.
Their original version is longer (~145 km, ~3,400m ascent) — I scaled it down to match my time constraints and adapt to what I wanted to accomplish.
The exact track I rode is here:
I trimmed some segments and made sure the stops and camping spots fit what I could do in two days.
The terrain type is mixed — paved roads, gravel tracks, some single tracks.
The first day had a significant climb portion, and I knew from the start it would be the harder day.
We spent the night at the top of Monte Sparavieri 1800m, which offered 360° views over the surrounding valleys.
The second day was mostly downhill, with just a few smaller climbs and some single tracks along the way.
For the ride, I was on a Surly Ghost Grappler, while my friend rode a Surly Karate Monkey.
Cheers!
