Roll out of Pedrignano and let the ride unfold: past the castle of Montechiarugolo, then by the manor Villa Paveri Fontana, before the Taro nature reserve opens up the middle of the route. The river Parma crosses your path, and two castle towers, Baganzola and Vicomero, mark the way home. It's 88.0 km with 280 m of climbing, and the surface is almost entirely paved.
