North of Marostica, foothills and steep climbs galore for the cyclist desiring to challenge themselves. South of Marostica, abundant flat roads and farmlands. In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist rides a course his own design that traverses quiet farmland paved roads, gravel tracks and paths. This was the perfect ride after flying into Italy a day earlier.
