Pontassieve-Lastra a Signa_2^ parte Anello Rinascimento

MTB route – 2nd part of the Renaissance loop

It starts from Pontassieve station and almost immediately begins climbing towards Semprugnano. The ride continues along a challenging dirt climb for about 3 km until crossing Via di Castigliomchio. There's a moment to catch your breath at the Castello di Poggio a Luco, then about 2 tough kilometers (fortunately on asphalt) to San Francesco all’Incontro. Now a descent begins, with an initial dirt section, down to San Donato in Collina. Again, a demanding climb of about 2 km leads to the Fontesanta refuge and spring. Then comes a long descent of about 9 km on mixed dirt and asphalt terrain down to the Mulino di Castel Ruggero. About 8 more kilometers, mainly uphill on mixed asphalt/dirt, to reach Impruneta. From there, the route heads toward Galluzzo with a short detour to visit the Certosa. The ride continues mainly on a dirt climb for about 10 km, then begins descending (with just a short ramp) towards Lastra a Signa.
