Very fun ride, with some particularly technical and narrow points that require more attention. Very beautiful views, in summer you can also bring your swimsuit to go for a swim.

July 9, 2024,appia antica lago di albano e sentiero del diavolo

Medium demanding gravel tour, I had decided that I wanted to do two things, one was to try the alternative of the Appia Nuova, which turned out to be interesting even if steep and then I wanted to do the devil's path in reverse, climbing up from Lake Albano. Done but not very feasible 650 MT to push the bike …

Continue on the Via Francigena which climbs sharply up to Castel Gandolfo. This is the most challenging stretch. It is not very long but requires good training. Finally, you can go down to the lake …

September 25, 2024,Italientour Ettape 13 Rom - Lago Albano

Via Appia Antica is very impressive, but the last section is barely rideable (I mostly pushed) and just before Frattochie everything is covered in broken glass.

Oh yes, a warning about the Hotel Excel Roma Ciampino, because even the 3.3 star rating from Google is overrated when the mold jumps out at you in the shower.
