Anello Valrossa-Colle dei Paste-San G. delle Formiche-Gandosso

I am already on the road and still haven’t decided which route to take. Where will I take my mountain bike today? I have no idea! One thing is certain: enough of Lake Iseo! So I’m heading in the opposite direction, towards Bergamo. Then I improvise: the Valcavallina cycle path to Endine, a tough climb to Ranzanico and a gentler one towards Bianzano. At this point, I can only go down to Cene, take the Valseriana cycle path and arrive at Gavarno. I inevitably have to climb back up to Colle dei Paste and descend to Gorlago, to reach Zandobbio. Yes, because in the meantime, I came up with the great idea of going up to San Giovanni delle Formiche: in the sense of 'let's inflict more pain on ourselves'. From there, to get back home, I have no choice but to descend to Villongo and, to complete the massacre of my calves, the only thing left is to tackle the ramps of Gandosso. So today it went like this: 86 km, 1114 meters of elevation gain and quite a few steep sections between 15 and 18%. I really seek this out :)
