Track 1 - Ring "Gli Orti"

Km
indicates the total length of the route from the starting to the arrival point.
Duration
indicates the time needed to complete the route considered an average (in motion) of about 10 km per hour for the mtb routes and 20 km per hour for the road bicycle routes, as well as a tolerance depending on the type of the path.
Elevation gain uphill
this is not the difference between the highest and lowest points reached during the journey, but the elevation gain uphill.
This is the sum of all altitude differences from the point of departure to the point of arrival. In other words, the greater the elevation gain uphill in height and the greater the number of climbs that must be faced, then the path will be harder.
Difficulty
Difficulty is always a very subjective parameter. We tried to give an assessment that considers a level of intermediate training and a good propensity to ride on dirt roads or long climbs sometimes challenging.

The path's graph, indicates the highest and lowest points reached during the itinerary, in addition to the mileage (in km), the various locations touched and where there is the possibility of obtaining water. In the latter case, Montaione Mtb Trail Area relieves itself of any responsibility in case of lack of water supply.
Starting from "Piazza Gramsci" in Montaione, we immediately turn right into "Via Giovanni XXIII" which shortly afterwards will become "Via Santo Stefano". After about 800 meters at the first junction (recognizable by an iron Cross) turn right and go down to the valley of the stream "Orlo". After crossing the stream "Orlo" turn right and climb up following the gravel road. After passing through "Borgo degli Orti" we reach "Via delle Colline" and we turn right towards Montaione.
After covering the asphalt road for about 1 km, keep left at the first junction and then take the path on the right after 200 meters.
Climb up to "Podere Moricci" and then again on asphalt to the starting point.
