Famous water wheel of Groppello d'Adda built around 1600 and probably designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The locals affectionately call it 'el rudun', that is, the big wheel.

Adda Cycle Path at Paderno d'Adda

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice stretch of cycle path that passes near the Paderno d'Adda dams. Asphalt road that becomes dirt in the direction of Brivio, while attacking a very steep straight road towards Paderno d'Adda.

When traveling along the cycle path that goes up from Trezzo d'Adda towards Lecco, it is mandatory to pass through this point. Here you have the opportunity to admire the San Michele di Paderno bridge from afar and also the barrage locks for the management of the waters of the Adda river

The road that passes under the S. Michele bridge, which was closed for some years for consolidation works, has finally been reopened to transit!!

The Alessandro Taccani hydroelectric power plant is a work of architectural art located in Trezzo sull'Adda, along the right bank of the Adda river. Founded by industrialist Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, the plant has been generating clean and sustainable energy for over a century. Every year, it produces around 60 million kilowatt hours, equivalent to the average annual consumption of 24 thousand families. Behind her, the medieval castle of Trezzo, with its 42 meter high square tower towering above it.

About 30 klm long, the Martesana is one of the most beautiful cycle paths in Italy

Martesana Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Nice gravel ride, from Gessate to Cremona. 95% on paved cycle paths and dirt road in the woods along the Adda. The first stretch from Cassano to Lodi is very nice, all in the woods, several single tracks with tall grass or "cycle path" but with a dirt surface. The river is almost always nearby. From Lodi to Cremona all on paved cycle path, elevated on cultivated fields and more exposed to the wind. Stops in Lodi, Pizzighettone and Cremona for visits. Return by train.

As usual, Komoot, doesn't get it right with the altimetry...😞

Tour around well-known places with particularly beautiful light during the Golden and Blue hours in the final stretch. I arrive as far as Paderno with the doubt whether to go to Lecco and return by train. The return more or less on the same route prevailed, but it was also the opportunity to take roads that I hadn't traveled for …

On a day of respite from bad weather - finally - the most natural tribute could only be for the Ronde van Vlaanderen, i.e. the Tour of Flanders, scheduled for Easter Sunday. The idea of this Saturday which preceded it was to repeat the route of the Martesana van Vlaanderen 2019 this year too and thus redo all those beautiful …

Usual tour with homage to Padernmuur. Upon return, unexpected transhumance in Groppello. This transhumance has been discussed in recent months famigliacristiana.it/article/il-passaggio-delle-pecore-a-milano-diventa-uno-spettacolo-en-plein-air.aspx. Truly spectacular, even if the least pleasant aspect was seeing the legacy of sheep poop on the wheels and chassis, but every now and then it fits

Usual ride for some time now - you have as much fun as you can: some with rollers and some with cold straights - but with some differences mainly concerning the goal. Compared to other times, I choose to make this lap public, because today was worth the day anyway. Clear day initially, but not as cold as one would …
