This should be fun: The snow-covered Vermiglio cross-country ski centre.
This Saturday will be a very enticing UCI World Cup Cyclocross race in Val di Sole, Italy.... with plenty of snow!
"Compared to last year, we have created two snow hills that the athletes will have to ride over. In addition, the loop will ride closer to the forest, but the elevation gain is pretty much fed unchanged. The result is an even more challenging route, one for the specialists.
To tame this course, you need legs, lungs, and lots of power. When it's hard, the snow is smooth, but where if gets softer it is like riding on sand, and it poses a much steeper challenge to the athletes."
-Sergio Battistini. Local organizer. Forecast expected 1 C.
