So, for the Mille Curve, the advice is clear: a good mountain bike, perhaps with grippy tires, given the occasional mud. Being in the Alban Hills—or rather, Castelli Romani—the park is always open, but trust me: daylight is your best friend. At night? Well, it's fascinating, but maybe leave that to adventure stories! In short, appropriate gear, plenty of light, and off you go: the curves await!

The Mille Curve, from Colle Giovannone toward Via Veda dei Corsi, is one of those trails that make you smile just by its name... and then it keeps its promise. Continuous curves, a fast pace, trees passing so close that they remind you that here you ride with your head and cool head. It's not extreme, but it must be respected: even at 10–15 km/h, bumping your shoulder against a tree trunk isn't exactly a relaxing massage. You need agility, a forward-looking attitude, and a desire to have fun. Uphill, everything changes: the thousand curves remain, but they become an exercise in fluidity. In mud (like yesterday), you need to lighten the load, use agile gears, and use the e-bike's motor sparingly: too much assistance and the rear wheel loses grip. It's only technical in the last section (uphill, the reverse is true downhill); the rest is pure flow through the woods. A trail to do, do, and do again.

The Madonna della Tivora (or Madonna of the Snow) usually refers to the venerated image of the Madonna present in the small sanctuary, also known as the Madonna della Neve, located in the Rocca Priora area, near Colle di Fuori, in the Castelli Romani region. Rocca Priora has supplied Rome with snow and ice since imperial times, and the population prayed to the Madonna for good snowfall, essential to the local economy. The August festival in honor of the Madonna is still deeply felt today, culminating in a nighttime procession and a suggestive artificial snowfall.

Technical routes, but doable for an intermediate level biker recommended full but also doable in front with a few more jolts absolutely to try
