We start with the accelerator pointed and keep the gas open until the finish line. The Extreme route requires training and a pinch of madness to tackle the more than 90 km and 3000 meters of elevation gain, but if we weren't a little crazy, we probably wouldn't be bikers.
We pass from rolling hills, riding on dirt and dusty roads, to lands of stone where the athlete will test his driving skills. There will be sudden walls, which will make your muscles burn, to arrive at the pastures located inside the Lessinia Regional Park which, established in 1990, contains a surprising variety of naturalistic, historical and archaeological testimonies of inestimable value: from karst phenomena to various natural monuments such as the Spluga della Preta abyss, one of the deepest in Italy, the Covolo di Camposilvano and the "city of rock" such as the Valle delle Sfingi. The Park also includes a large network of paths to be covered on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback.
To give gastronomic prestige to Lessinia we think products such as wines and various cheeses from malga and farmed, numerous fruit trees such as cherry and chestnut, the cultivation of strawberries, aromatic-officinal herbs, the precious honey, as well as beef, various cured meats and cured meats.
This is what will frame the 24th edition of Lessinia Legend.

If Saturday will be dedicated to the competition, on Sunday we will enter Lessinia "on tiptoe" with the Coffee to Ride, a friendship ride on Gravel bikes for a completely relaxing ride. The departure will be from the Olimpia sports center at 9.00, not before having drunk a coffee with old and new friends: you will pedal for some stretches on the Legend route to then arrive at Malga Vazzo, where a refreshment with local products awaits you. Participation is free and membership must be made on the site www.lessinialegendbike.it up to a maximum of 100 people.
