Roll out of Mancasale and let the ride unfold: first past the castle of Castello di Albinea, then on through the Boschi del Rio Coviola nature reserve. The Fontanili di Corte Valle Re nature reserve follows, and the route keeps winding through the Fontanili media pianura reggiana nature reserve before heading back to Mancasale. Of the 79.0 km, most run unpaved, so expect a mixed day of paved and unpaved riding with 506 m of climbing along the way.
