BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTE
You begin at Vittorio Veneto, where you can park your car either in one of the several parks in the city centre (Piazza del Popolo area) or in the car park by the Ceneda cemetery.
Technical info
Follow the signs for Tarzo passing near the A27 motorway junction (Vittorio Veneto Sud). Once the route rolls under the motorway, it turns right at Cozzuolo and rises to Confin. It is a gently undulating section leading to the industrial district of Corbanese. There, the course runs for a short stretch toward Conegliano along the sp.635, which it then leaves to negotiate the Muro di Ca’ del Poggio.
It is a short, sharp climb alternating between some ramps (gradients ranging from 15% to 19%) and very short and not as steep stretches on a very well-paved and fairly wide road (local signs indicate the steepest sectors.)
Past the top, the route rolls down to Bagnolo and approaches the bottom of the Muro, but then turns toward Manzana (700m / 8% average gradient/ 15% max. gradient). Another undulating sector leads through Vittorio Veneto up to the cannon at the intersection of via della Vittoria, at the bottom of the San Lorenzo climb (4.3km / 6.8% average gradient). A fairly constant gradient characterises the initially winding road through the woods that, past San Lorenzo, becomes narrower and exposed to the sun. The descent is along a narrow road often with leaves or some gravel on the carriageway. A short ascent heads to Nogarolo and, past Revine, a fast-rolling descent leads back to Vittorio Veneto.
NOTES:
In the centre of Serravalle the pebble-paved road is not in a very good state, and you need to pay attention if you are rolling at a brisk pace after the descent.
ROUTE CHANGES DURING YOUR RIDE:
If you have any difficulty, you can always halve the route, when you roll through Vittorio Veneto for the second time.
