ancient mining road near the coast that can be traveled by any bike with covers with a minimum of gusset

Initial climb to Monte Calamita then descent on the mule track and followed by the single trek "la valle di fosco" which is very technical at times... you can always get off the bike... once you reach the mining museum you enter the RED LE MINIERE route and then continue until returning to Capoliveri.

Apart from a few 🇨🇭 bike …

🏞️ Trail adventure on Elba – with history and adrenaline! 🚵‍♂️💥

Everything went smoothly today – even the loop over the fresh enduro trails from last Saturday's race was easy to ride and a real highlight! 🔥

An absolutely dreamy loop over the Calamita Trails near Capoliveri – 44km, over 1,100m elevation gain, and plenty of flow! 🙌
