Monte Mario

Fun carousel of the most beautiful descents in the Monte Mario area. Depart from Bologna and by bike paths and small roads to Sasso Marconi. Climb to Monte Mario by trail and then the first singletrack to Commenda and first section of Nuvola Rossa. Low trail below via delle Orchiedee and then classic loop following 110.Pass the exotic wildlife center and then short but becoming loop in front of Monte del Frate. Back to the crags and follow the new descent to the Badolo tavern: steep and steep steps!. Short stretch of asphalt and before Via delle Orchidee you take the Vagabunder to the left; a nice flowing single track but with some trialistic passages.You get to Battedizzo, climb to the crossroads and then back to the Commenda, but before you get there you take the le Gabbie trail to the right (interesting final passage) and then graft into the second section of Nuvolarossa: steep, uphill and technical passages.It leads to Battedizzo and climbs up to the crossroads and then to the meadows of Mugnano. Final descent of the 3 Cipressi; a fast single track back to Sasso Marconi and from here along the same small roads as the outward journey back to Bologna.
