This narrow forest lane meanders up and around through logging waste to 757 meters. A man driving a tractor pulling a large tree trunk stopped to tell me to "sta attento al lavoro." Very nice of him to stop and warn me; further up the road some men had the road half-blocked chopping tree-falls.
The lane is paved for the most part until near Corona, where it turns to dirt, though still road bikeable. Some nice restored stone farmhouses surround a grassy meadow at Corona, then you arrive at the paved road from Vito d'Asio to Madonna della Neve which I climbed last year. Lovely ride home on this sunny fall day, though I was tired from the climb.
Note: Installed the 1995 Campagnolo front brake on the Merckx last night and ops checked it on these descents. Works great.
