Why this ride
Mountain switchbacks with a sea-air finish. This road trip is shaped as a ride, not as a shortcut: leave the start cleanly, use the first checkpoint for fuel and weather discipline, then ride Passo del Penice with something in reserve. The best part sits around Bobbio Trebbia road, Passo del Penice, Portofino coast, while Pavia fuel gate and the food stop keep the day practical instead of turning it into a fuel hunt. Check the selected map before departure: scenic sections, transfer sections, speed/control reminders, risk points and the GPX checkpoint order are deliberately visible so the route is understandable before the engine starts. Ride it early if the area is popular, keep the photo stops legal, and shorten the route if weather, daylight or energy stops agreeing with the plan.
