Roll out of Brugarolo and the countryside opens up, with the Parco Adda Nord nature reserve and the Oasi Le Foppe setting the tone early. You pass Villa Cavenago, a manor on the route, before the Adda river joins the ride. Then it's on through the Parco dei Fontanili e dei Boschi nature reserve and past the Castello di Lurano castle, all on paved surface the whole way. The loop brings you back to Brugarolo after 77.8 km.
