Granfondo Colnago 2010: routes

Gran fondo (long distance)

The Gran Fondo course is characterized by three main climbs and the final steep stretches of Bagnolo.
To make it easier to overcome the several stretches at a gradient over 10%, we suggest using at least a 27-tooth cog, or a Compact crank set.

Medio fondo (medium distance)

The Medio Fondo course is 1,000 metres less steep because it skips the Passo S.Barbara. We still suggest using low gears as stretches over 10% are frequent.

CicloturisTICO (short distance)

The Cicloturismo course is characterized by a lot of valley tracts, two slopes of medium speed, Momeliano e Bagnolo, of about 3,5 km and gradients of about 5-6 %.
