I was think about a day off, but the weather was good - a little hot, but not too hot - and tomorrow I do a van supported tour, which is a whole day of work, but not much riding, so I thought, how about a couple of hours close in. Not too fast, I thought, not too much climbing, but that changed with the route. I rode out through Le Cure, the up Via Faentina to Olmo. I decided to ride over to Bivigliano, then down / over / up through Viliano and Casellina to the road to Pratolino. When I got there, I did not really want to descend on Via Bolognese, so I took the road over toward Monte Morello and turned off to descend on the tiny, slightly rough road to the church above Cercina. From there, a favorite descent to Carigge, then around Carigge to Piazza Giogini and home. Fun ride and good to get out there.
2 hour ride in the hills North of town - perfect. by ridingwithcosimo at Garmin Connect - Details
I have always loved this road over to Bivigliano from Olmo. Today,
part of the hillside was covered in yellow flowers.
The little piazza as you come into Bivigliano has a nice water
source, and this nice view to the west.
Today, I took this little road that drops down to the church above
Cercina from the Monte Morello road. At one point there is a
little climb, then the road drops and you see this view of the city.
