Fun single track a little crowded on weekends by hikers

Very fun trail, quite technical and panoramic enough to round off your tour before returning to Bolo. Starting from via Madonna dei Boschi, go through the green iron gate and make the first stretch with two beautiful plaster slabs. The wheel holds, but don't be too stupid because falling up here shouldn't be a good experience... Subsequently the path descends in single track along the fields and then reaches a series of steep slopes with chalk "cliffs" emerging. Here too, you need a head and telescopic seat post, which is impossible to tackle at speed. The path then resumes with a couple of bumps that can be skipped and then runs alongside some very suggestive sunflower fields (if you're cycling with the girl, this is the time to be romantic). finally, the path goes up on the right quite wide, with a gravel surface in the middle of the woods. The trail then tells you to turn left onto a small path that you could barely see and, when I did it, immersed in brambles. If like me you don't want to sand yourself, go straight on the little strip and you will arrive safely in via Benassi, otherwise I think you can go back and continue along the field. At the end of the path there should be a quite challenging passage with some stairs (I didn't do it, I returned from via Benassi).
