Usual low-altitude tour around the Cà Carnè refuge, in the regional park of the Romagna chalk vein.
Pleasant, but I have to study routes with fewer driveways (or at least fewer asphalt roads). Recommended with temperatures not too high, given the low altitude.
Always splendid Brisighella (remember to take

Nice ride, but bad day: too much traffic and temperatures still too high.
The uphill and downhill sections are beautiful, easy, just the right amount of challenging and fun.
Santa Sofia is beautiful, with its park along the Bidente stream. Nature, artistic installations, many areas for picnics.

This year I managed to do little or nothing, but at least on August 15th I allowed myself a little trip.
Mantua is always very beautiful, and walking a few routes along the banks of the Po is very relaxing.
I wanted to do a stretch of the trail in the Forte di Pietole area, but I turned back because the

Part 1 of 2.
Nice ride, but don't take the track as an example because in fact it's a concentration of mistakes and attempts to do something terrible.
The area itself is splendid, but be careful that the area is still suffering from the 2023 flood.

evening stroll not too demanding. Beautiful views of the countryside, and the long Idige is always a pleasure.
A short stretch between via Panzacchi and via San Giorgio is actually a very poorly maintained single track with lots of vegetation and ruts in the ground, best avoided.

Evening tour entirely on the road.
Very beautiful views around Varignana, interspersed with some ups and downs that won't be impossible, but won't be a given either (especially in this heat).
Downhill, in the vineyard area, the midges situation is catastrophic. I would have preferred to be chased by a herd of horny rhinos.

Evening ride mostly on not too busy roads.
Be careful that the steepest stretch has a surface of large stones and very fine dirt; doable on MTB, less so on gravel (I went down for a few hundred metres).
No photos as the sky was an existential grey; even a few drops of rain, however more pleasant than the midges. 🪰

Simple tour, along the Santerno valley. Easy climbs on roads that are not too busy.
In several places, for those who want, there is a way to cool off in the river bed.
