벨린자고 노바레세 최고의 라이딩 경로

올레지오의 역사 중심지는 티치노 계곡을 내려다보는 언덕에 자리 잡은 매력적인 중세 마을로, 밀라노 말펜사 공항에서 약 10km 떨어져 있습니다. 좁은 자갈길과 고대 건물들이 특징이며, 심장부는 19세기 아케이드와 상점들로 둘러싸인 마르티리 델라 리베르타 광장입니다.

Domenico Piemontesi, known as the "Boca Cyclone," was born in 1903 and raced professionally from 1922 to 1938. During his career, he won eleven stages in the Giro d'Italia out of twelve editions, and in 1927 he took third place at the World Championships, sharing the podium with cycling legends such as Alfredo Binda and Costante Girardengo. He also achieved first-place finishes in the Giro di Lombardia (1933), the Giro della Provincia di Milano (1934), the Tre Valli Varesine (1922), the Giro dell'Emilia, and the Milano-Modena (both 1927). He participated in the Tour de France twice, but withdrew both times before the finish. He passed away in 1987. Ermanno Vallazza raced professionally. Born in 1899, he became Italian amateur champion in 1923. His professional career began the following year. In 1926, he won the Placci Cup and participated in every Giro d'Italia between 1924 and 1929.

Cycling feels like Paris-Roubaix! But worse...

Directly across the street from a typical Italian bar. Very good coffee - €3.40 for a cappuccino + latte macchiato :-)

A beautiful town near Lake Orta.

Nice bar, worth a short stop before the steeper parts of the Mottarone climb

We need more cycle paths like this and some nice well-maintained dirt roads...but we wouldn't be in Italy anymore.... unfortunately 🤣

Fantastic, unfortunately short but better than nothing!
