Piancavallo MTB

MTB’ed up through Madonna delle Monte and Bornas to Castaldia and Candaglia.  Left the paved road at Via delle Malghe and climbed past Casera Val Fredda to the pass by the microwave relay towers.  Descended to near Forcella di Giais and explored the gravel road/hiking trail toward Rifugio Monte Lungo.  Eventually this became too rough and I pushed/carried the bike briefly then turned back.  I’ve bike-hiked it in the opposite direction, so will try again another day.

Returned to the junction and turned onto the wonderful gravel road to Collalto.  This trail is also great for snowshoeing in a few months.  Rode back down to Castaldia and home.  Fantastic workout.
