They left the station in Genoa Voltri with the intention of making a winter Sgambati Aurelia, as is common practice. My goal was Borghetto Santo Spirito . I will not describe its strengths and weaknesses of this well-trodden path for winter training for cyclists. The large number of enthusiasts who meet, exceed or are exceeded by which it is difficult to look elsewhere. After the delightful stretch Voltri-Arenzano, Plans and stroke Invrea Varazze-cells (with the release overview from Varazze and thrilling ride on cells) is found Savona, which deserves attention for crossing traffic, but raises emotion for the move to a big step from the ferry moored and next to some emergencies the city's historic (the towers and the fortress). A Vado Ligure intense sunlight and strong winds have made clear view of the gulf and unexpected beauty. Passed Cape Vado to tract meets the sea more exciting Bergeggi! Bergeggi, Spotorno, Noli : the ride was now relaxed and satisfied the eye from the landscape, so much so that I did not notice until the last signs that warned of the interruption dell'Aurelia! What to do? A n addition there are no roads to cross Cape Noli?
I asked a very kind gentleman who advised me excited to do the detour behind the head, the way of mania. A tough climb? I was out for a Sgambati training and nothing more ... I asked him what was a long way but did not know. I checked: 3.5 km climb to the castle of initial Noli and beyond (photo) , spaccagambe, especially if out of practice like mine, but then within 6 km of breathtaking plateau, between silence and without crossing the green car and almost 3 km down to the sea to Finale Ligure! Indescribable, Highly recommended! The section is also affected partly by the Milan-Sanremo this year!
Despite the detour off the path I have finished the program in Borghetto after 78 km.
