Mountain bike trails: the mini

Posted on Sat Jul 22, 2017

Around Cremona there is a small number of small MTB trails, connected by a narrow asphalted road; they cannot be compared with the beautiful trails we see on YouTube; but that is the way it is here, where only small woods are present. The trails are managed by the Club Ciclistico Cremonese and are used for an MTB race.

As far as I know: the trails have no official name, with the exception of the Parco al Po. So I’m going to make up names, mostly dumb.

Today it is the turn of the mini trail; very short but fun, with a “long” downhill at the beginning; good for a small excursion out of asphalted roads. It is here, in the woods at the right:

There is also some Nature.

01: this is the entry point, it goes downhill and we get pretty fast for a beginner biker.

The trail goes on in the woods for a bit.
