Gravel path along the Adda between Lodi and Rivolta

Highlight • Trail

beautiful completely dirt stretch that runs alongside the Adda.

Groppello Water Wheel on the Martesana Canal

Highlight • Monument

Once you arrive in Cassano d'Adda, you can't help but admire the "rudon," a perfectly preserved and fully functional wooden wheel.
The ancient washhouse nearby is also beautiful.

Fara Gera d'Adda footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

May 7, 2023,Verso Lodi lungo l'Adda dalla sponda sx alla sponda dx.

A nice ride along the banks of the Adda. From Cassano it's all dirt road up to Lodi. The initial return from Lodi is all single-track and in this period there is a flood of poplar quilts. From Zelo BP cycle paths and secondary roads.
