ジェンツァーノディローマのおすすめMTBライド

ポンテ・ロレートは、古代アストゥラ通り沿いに位置するローマ時代の橋です。最も特徴的なのは、正方形の石積みで作られた単一のアーチ、大きな台形のブロックで作られた胸壁、そして「ロバの背中」のような形状のプロファイルであり、さらに道路の軸と完全に一直線上にないという興味深い事実もあります。

神話の足跡をたどって：ジュノ・ソスピタ神殿 🐍 2500年以上前の時代へのタイムスリップ。ラヌヴィオには、「救済者」ジュノに捧げられた神殿の遺跡が残っています。この神聖な場所は、古代において聖なる蛇に関連する儀式で有名でした。ローマ時代の建造物や壮大な柱廊の遺跡の間を歩くと、このルートに壮大なスケール感が生まれます。静かで力強い場所で、思索的な休憩に最適です。

A rather scenic route, popular especially on weekends, ideal for mountain biking and gravel riding, it doesn't present any particular technical challenges. It's a great way to connect Genzano and Nemi without having to descend to lake level (which is worthwhile anyway), thus saving on elevation gain.

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.

Roman canal probably an aqueduct

The road is in poor condition, hasn't been cleared of tree stumps, and just before entering the village, it's blocked. There's a small, rugged and dangerous passageway, unsuitable for small children or those with mobility issues. You'll need to use your hands and feet to climb.

Pit stop for anyone who loves to visit the Pratoni del Vivaro by mountain bike.
