August 13, 2022,2022-08-13 17:00 Riolo - Casola - Mte Mauro (Parco vena del Gesso) - Riolo

First stretch from Riolo to Casola on the state road then from Casola go up towards the Zattaglia pass, then deviation towards Mte Mauro ... spectacular! ... if you've never been there it's worth it;
Monte Mauro ring, vein of chalk and Carnè park is highly recommended
