Groppello Water Wheel on the Martesana Canal

Highlight • Monument

Once you arrive in Cassano d'Adda, you can't help but admire the "rudon," a perfectly preserved and fully functional wooden wheel.
The ancient washhouse nearby is also beautiful.

Very nice stretch of cycle path that passes near the Paderno d'Adda dams. Asphalt road that becomes dirt in the direction of Brivio, while attacking a very steep straight road towards Paderno d'Adda.

Miki Manu Flavia Mara Beppe Fede Pietro Roby Matteo Stefano Enzino. Beautiful route, beautiful landscape with long stretches of invigorating freshness. Dirt surface sometimes grueling... at least for my hands

December 5, 2021,Un po' di casino.. ma va bene cosi. Ciclabile Lecco.

Today, in reality, the path had to be another. I had drawn myself a Martesana Van Vlaanderen at the end of autumn but the garmin left me on the ground at Trezzo d'Adda. I didn't have a bike mount for my mobile and therefore couldn't follow the track on the Komoot app. So I decided for a classic to continue …

November 19, 2022,Martesana + Adda

Nice autumn ride, a period in which the Adda and the surrounding landscapes seem to give their best. The tour, which I hadn't done for a long time, through places that are known by heart by now. Compared to the last laps it is the reopening of the passage under the Paderno bridge, which allows you to avoid the mythical …

the return was done on the normal road because after a few km from Trezzo it was dark, the road was icy and I thought that if something happened to me no one could help me

Classic nice ride with return by train.
The section in Paderno reopened after years, then ascent and descent of the rest. Tuscan avoided.
Warm but bearable in company.

July 9, 2023,Adda, Lecco e Trenord... 😝🚄

Classic nice summer ride with Ste (for a while), Paolo and Silvia on Martesana, then the Adda gravel cycle path and return by train.
Hot day but excellent coolness from the river and the trees along the entire suburban part.

Traveling along the Adda is always a spectacle! Unfortunately, the rains of this period caused several landslides which forced some "intense" changes in route, between asphalt and push (both uphill and downhill)...
Stopping in Crespi d'Adda for coffee and Stallazzo for lunch always has its reasons!
