Monte Osero in senso antiorario

Nice ride up Mt Osero counterclockwise, in this sense it is a ride with climbs all rideable and with nice views.

Start from Perino on asphalt then climb to Pianelli on nice dirt road in the pine forest then asphalt until after Gavi. Now left to enter the pine forest of Sant'Agostino, first dirt road then nice little path to the church. Now asphalt to Angelone then nice detour into the large meadow.

Continue on the dirt road to the Cappelletta pass where the climb to the Cogno and Osero mountains begins, final steep section. Descent by CAI trail to Montosero, stony sections but nice. Now road to Cerro Pass then on to Pia Pass and down on very direct but not difficult trail to Pillori then asphalt to Perino.

Water in Gavi and at St. Augustine's church.
