피스토이아 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

I had high hopes for this stretch. But I have to say I found it in terrible condition, and I'm very disappointed, because I could have promoted it on my tours and brought my clients there. I'm very disappointed that the much-hyped Via Francigena isn't kept in good condition. Just before Galleno, I also found a fallen tree that I had to climb over with my bike, and a second one is about to fall. After that? It's not much better.

Le Piastre is located in the municipality of Pistoia at about 740 meters above sea level. It has about 300 inhabitants. The annual "Sagra della Bugia" (Lie Festival) takes place here, and if you'll notice, there are several humorous road signs. You can visit and see the Campari Fountain, the Cerro springs, the Three Fountains, the Campanelloni (Big Bells), the Fontanelle (Fountains), the Bellino (Bellino), and the Serripozzo (Serripozzo). Pratichele, the Fontana Vecchia (Old Fountain), and the Il Cerbiatto Fountain. The state road connects two strategic points for off-roading, both by bicycle and off-road motorcycle. The section that connects Prunetta Momigno, descending to Cireglio, etc., and the other section that connects the Reno with its icehouses, Pracchia Biagioni, etc., Maresca, Gavinana, Pratorsi, are some of the most beautiful routes.

well maintained path, be careful when it rains, there are puddles to avoid

Rest stop along the Via Francigena

A nice stopping point

a fixed point for breakfast for the many excursions that start, arrive and pass through that Pass

Unfortunately the bar/restaurant is closed due to illness

In summer, the town is crossed by regional road 66, which, after 3 km in La Lima, intersects with the SS.12 towards Abetone, where many people head on weekends in search of cool air and the many marked trails on the ridge.
