Technical info
A very easy route along the Ciclovia Adriatica on the exact section which will be covered in the first individual time trial of the Giro d’Italia 2023.
The route is about 15 km of flat, well-paved (green coloured) cycle path with a few non-dark tunnels along the way.
At the end of the cycle path at the Port of Ortona (at the time of writing this text, the path does not continue any further), we enter the normal roadway skirting the port for about 1 km and then ride up into town with a short climb with gradients ranging from 4 to 8%. Once in town, we can easily cycle around it, pausing on the eastern promenade with its view of the sea and the Aragonese Castle.
Return via the same route.
NOTES:
Along the cycle path, beware of the connections with the Trabocchi, where it is possible to run into people on their way to them.
Be careful at the two crossings in the Ortona harbour area, especially on working days, for the possible presence of heavy vehicles just after the end of the cycle path.
