It's called "mad of lake", an urban downhill one in a kind. Date: May 24th in Toscolano Maderno (BS). Almost 3 km long, 300 vertical drops, 8 drops of different heights, 2 big drops and a wall ride over 5 meters long.
The scenery is typical of the splendid Lake Garda with its narrow and ancient streets that reach the lake. The departure is located in rosy locations, a terrace from which you can admire the imposing Monte Baldo and the whole lake in all its splendor. After a stretch on a dirt road, you begin to enter the narrow and steep streets of some hamlets, some stairways and then another dirt road. From here you enter the old part of the town, where the most spectacular stretch begins, very technical and demanding passages and the wonderful Lake Garda in the background.
The arrival is located in Piazza San Marco, a splendid square overlooking the lake. The “mad of lake” concludes a week dedicated entirely to two-wheeled pedals, the “toscolano maderno bike fest” with various specialty races and the bike trial show on Friday evening. Registrations opened on Monday 13 April and will close when the 200 registered riders are reached.
