Roll out of Balbiano and the ride unfolds through one nature reserve after another: first Parco dei Sillari, then Parco Adda Sud, Parco del Fiume Tormo and Parco Agricolo del Moso. Along the way you pass Villa Braila, a manor that breaks up the green. The 76.1 km loop is 99% paved, with a sliver of unpaved to keep you honest. Then it's back to Balbiano where you started.
