July 4, 2024,da Ozzano a Mercatale
evening stroll not too demanding. Beautiful views of the countryside, and the long Idige is always a pleasure.

A short stretch between via Panzacchi and via San Giorgio is actually a very poorly maintained single track with lots of vegetation and ruts in the ground, best avoided.

Short gravel sections towards Monte Pieve, but doable with a gravel bike.
