Interesting route for training with long stretches of gentle uphill gradient and some short stretches to force the leg uphill! Cold winter and hot summer but with many shaded areas! There is little traffic even if the road is not very wide. You can reach Quinzano and Loiano if you want to tackle long uphill stretches.

valley floor among the most traveled by Bolognese and non-Bolognese cyclists. suggestive and always fresh, it doesn't seem to be within walking distance of the city
