Waterside between Casalincontrada and Cepagatti

The ride

This loop sets off from Serramonacesca and rolls out to meet the Pescara river, then follows the water toward the Alento river before turning for home. Along the way you'll climb steadily, gathering 1368 m of elevation gain across the route. The surface is 99% paved with just a sliver of unpaved to keep things interesting. Back into Serramonacesca you roll, with the rivers and the climbing behind you.
