Bike ideas for the “festive bridges” in the later part of the year
Are we in the mood for a bike ride during the remaining festive bridges and long week ends from August through December? Then here are some ideas to combine the desire for cycling, nature, art and beauty.
Tuesday, Aug. 15
Closest of the bridges, the August bank vacation is quintessentially the “vacation” bridge. But not everyone is already on vacation and there are those who still want to unplug maybe just a few days. For this day dedicated to the Assumption of Mary we propose three ideas. The first in Sicily to discover ancient villages, archaeological sites, glimpses of the sea, 200 kilometers for mtb or e-mtb, the Via Francigena, starting from the
cathedral of Palermo to reach that of Agrigento, with the possibility of doing stretches by train.
In Maremma between Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala
along the Cavalleggeri road to be done by MTB. 40 km from the pine forest of Rocchette pedaling among centuries-old maritime pines we climb to the Cala Galera Tower, then passing through the Strada della Santa.
We also offer you a “tasty” itinerary in the land of Valpolicella. A tasting not only of the famous wine, but also of oil, honey or cheeses such as Monte Veronese. Traveling the 44 km of the Valpolicella loop you will have a chance to enjoy yourself along this food and wine tour.
Wednesday, November 1
Change the weather from the summer heat but we often find pleasant days even on days dedicated to remembering All Saints. For this date we recommend two pleasant cities to get to know anyway throughout that part of the year. In Turin there are many routes to choose pedaling to discover Piazza Vittorio, Ponte Vittorio Emanuele I, the Mole Antonelliana and along the banks of the Po River. To get around the city you can use Cityaround, a free app that will reveal the mysteries of the city of the Egyptian Museum.Starting from Milan’s Navigli, you can follow the bike path to Abbiategrasso (Naviglio Grande), but if you want to enjoy the city you can choose the route that goes to Castello Sforzesco, and then to Corso Sempione. If instead you want to follow the Naviglio Piccolo after 38 km you will arrive in Trezzo sull’Adda along the Martesana bicycle path.
Thursday, December 8
For the bridge of Immaculate Conception we invite you to get to know Florence, where the whole area around the historic center is served by bicycle paths, and the pedestrian areas and city parks are connected with the cycle paths through via Cavour. The best organized area is Campo di Marte, with the bike path running
from Viale Don Minzoni to Via XX Settembre.
Among the routes not to be missed are the Parco delle Cascine and the Giro ai Renai, suitable for families with children in tow.
And for those who love the mountains, have you ever thought of trying a snowbike? In the hope that there is already snow, follow in Andalo the paths that go to the farms, or choose the roads where in summer it is the mt that is themaster. Here you’ll ride your bike through the forests of the Adamello Nature Reserve Park.
