Waterside route via Barisano

The ride

This 58.5 km loop rolls out of Ragone and back again, with the route unfolding past the river Fiume Montone first. Next you follow the Canale Emiliano Romagnolo, then the Fiume Rabbi, before turning for home. The surface splits between paved and unpaved riding, so expect the character of the route to shift along the way, and the elevation gain stays modest at 83 m. It's a straightforward day out from the village, river to canal to river and back.
