Monte Gorzano

Loop tour starting from Capricchia. We proceed pedaling toward Preta. We decide to climb not from the classic Pane e Cacio but from the Tronto springs. Unfortunately, trail 364b after an encouraging start forces us to reverse course causing us to lose quite a bit of time, we still decide to climb to the springs from the more obvious Italia trail. From this point on forget about pedaling. The ascent to the summit will be with bike on your back quite challenging all the way to the source. Once reconnected to the trail to Cima della Laghetta the climb becomes slightly gentler but you will still proceed pushing and carrying your bike on your back. Upon reaching the summit, the view is 360 degrees across the Apennines. The descent from the west ridge is MTB anthology. First steep and exposed section all strictly on fixed rock. Once we enter the woods the music doesn't change and countless passages on rock keep us busy until we reach the cars. We arrive down in Capricchia tired but happy to have closed a super ride.
