I recently completed the legendary Il Lombardia Gran Fondo , known as the “Race of the Falling Leaves,” one of cycling’s great Monuments.
Covering over 110 kilometers through the stunning landscapes of Lombardy, the route featured the iconic climbs of the Ghisallo, Sormano, and Colma di Sormano, with breathtaking views over Lake Como.
The legendary Madonna del Ghisallo chapel, a sacred site for cyclists, was a special highlight of the day. It was a demanding and truly unforgettable ride that combined beauty, history, and the pure essence of cycling in Italy.
