The Gaggio road was for a long time one of the most important communication routes between the inhabited areas of the high plain and the Ticino Valley, as it connects Lonate Pozzolo with the river, with the first industrial establishments that settled at the end of the 19th century, with the Gaggio mill where in the past wheat was ground for the population. The first stretch of the route, up to the "Ex Dogana Austroungarica" Park Center, is wide and flat and crosses forests of common oak, black locust and Scots pine.

Panperduto Dam — Start of the Villoresi Canal

Highlight • Monument

The Villoresi canal: It originates here from the Panperduto dam in the Maddalena area (Somma Lombardo), a hamlet of Somma Lombardo, and flows into the Adda river or, alternatively, into the Martesana canal near Cassano d'Adda at the end of a long route 86 km which qualifies it as the second longest artificial waterway in Italy, after the Emiliano Romagnolo canal and in front of the Cavour canal.
The canal, which runs horizontally from west to east, in the upper plain of Milan, was completed in 1890.

The Industrial Canal: also known as the Vizzola canal, is an artificial watercourse that derives its waters from the Ticino river, through the Panperduto dam near Somma Lombardo, where the waters of the Villoresi canal are also derived[1]. The canal was inaugurated in 1900, with the name of "Vittorio Emanuele III industrial canal", its construction was due to the production of hydroelectric energy. In fact, the industrial canal drives the turbines of three hydroelectric power plants: the Vizzola power plant, the Tornavento power plant and the Castelli di Turbigo power plant. Just beyond this facility the canal branches into 3 channels: on the left most of the water (64 m³/s in summer, 35 m³/s in winter) flows into the Naviglio Grande, which receives its effective flow here; [2] in the centre, however, the Turbighetto discharger originates, having a flow rate of approximately 50 m³/s. This flows into the Ticino, after having activated the turbines of a fourth hydroelectric power plant: the Turbigo Inferiore power plant. The regression channel originates on the right. This third branch flows into the Ticino in the Casa delle Barche area. Through a gravel dam on the Ticino its waters are conveyed into the Langosco canal, activating the Varzi hydroelectric power plant.

Ticino as I have never cycled it, a marvel, a technical track with many segments to ride with experience and safety especially using a Gravel, an open-air bike park, a mix of fast dirt roads and single tracks to paint

How to travel around the continents....
From the forest with carpets of green grass to the purple and white of the flowers to the blue and clear water of the river with its islands of very white stones....
Spring has put its magic on us, our eyes are amazed...

A very well-known but beautiful dirt road ride on the Piedmont coast of Ticino, to let Roby test and become familiar with the new Gravel handlebars. Strangely, even though it was Sunday, we saw almost no one.

Yesterday nice outing on the Ticino with Stefania (@Stefania Zamperlin) . We anticipated today's Ticino Gravel Coaster because we had commitments. A big applause to the Gravelland team, always impeccable in developing tracks and routes even with some gems such as the constructed wetlands of S. Antonino Ticino. Departure from Tornavento the ritual passage to the beautiful Piazza Parravicno, certainly …
