Castelnuovo Bormida

Description

The hidden gem of this territory. The Gravel bike is a tool to discover dirt roads with perfect surfaces that develop between fields and villages with linearity. You will be immersed in the countryside, on banks and mostly dirt roads for smooth gravel riding. 90 km technical route on dirt roads immersed in the countryside, riverbanks and vineyards. The straight road of 5 km before Castelnuovo Bormida is a true highlight for fast gravel bikers, with an adventurous ford over the Bormida. Getting closer to the hills of Acqui Terme the landscape changes into a world of narrow valleys and steep hills dotted with vineyards, where the scenery rewards you for all the hard work on the steep "climbs" that gratify the most technical bikers and a paved ramp unfolds on the hills among the vineyards and villages. Last highlight: the wood after Mombaruzzo, pure CX style. And, following such a demanding route, wine tasting at winery to complete the knowledge of the territory of the Aromatic Road.
