The ride
Roll out of Catenanuova and let the road carry you to the Fiume Simeto, a river that sets the tone for the day. Next up is the Castello Normanno, a castle that anchors the middle stretch before you spin on to the Oasi di Ponte Barca, a nature reserve where the ride turns back toward home. With 72.2 km under your wheels and 811 m of climbing, the loop rolls out and returns to where it began.
