Roll out of Carate Brianza and into the green of Parco della Valle del Lambro, a nature reserve that sets the tone for the day. The route links manor and castle stops like Villa Reale and Castello di Carimate with more green at Parco delle Groane e della Brughiera Briantea, and the Seveso river runs alongside part of the way. With 73.1 km ahead, you'll spend roughly half of it on unpaved tracks, so the mix keeps things varied before the loop brings you back to where you started.
