From here begins a long climb that takes about three kilometers up to Pizzo Dipilato (1130 meters), the bumpy sections with really challenging. And to say that Dominic had warned me, but I could not hold back my desire to explore new places.
the end of the last climb we are rewarded with truly breathtaking views of both looking towards the sea, as Pizzo Carbonara or the other peaks. I had never climbed this mountain in watching from afar because I found it barren and very few trees, but after today I think I go back often (maybe on foot).
Unfortunately, the surprises were not over, because reached the top, I expected to find a path that takes me back to the water near Gratteri , and indeed perhaps there is, but the problem is that it was hidden from the tall grass, that nasty full of thorns, and often could not even see it, let alone ride. When we got down our legs seemed exits from a industrial grating.
However, as I often say, this is mountain bike . And then look at the photo below and tell me if it was worth it, of course live is better, but I wanted to point out the same winning combination in the sights of Madonie , sea and mountains.
After we (finally) managed to take the dirt roads, we cleaned all the pins stuck everywhere, even in her hair, and we enjoyed the descent into Collesano almost totally immersed in the forest San Giorgio, where you can see the ruins of the old Abbey.
After the woods we came to town, we passed the ice cream, we put the bikes in the car and go home. I do not dare to recommend it to all of this around, given the high rise (which in any case you can always push the bike) but above the path hidden by grass. I have helped a lot with gps, then I have no problem doing some km with the bike on his shoulder. There are beautiful views of the San Giorgio and the forest with its abbey.
Until next time, bye ..
