Superenduro EXperience 3 Monteriggioni (SI) - Trail and fairytale location for the new stage of the Experience circuit
An almost heavenly location, which adds to the other goals reached by the Superenduro Powered By SRAM throughout the Italian territory. After the second PRO stage of Punta Ala we stay in Tuscany, this time in the province of Siena, in the splendid Monteriggioni. A medieval village rich in history, appreciated by Dante Alighieri, so much so as to be mentioned in a passage from the Divine Comedy, which will be the heart of the event organized by Ciclo Sport Porciatti and the Grufoli Bike Team. The Superenduro is ready to discover a new destination, in one of the most popular areas of Italy worldwide. Once a defensive bulwark of the Sienese state, which had to defend itself from Florentine attacks, today a historical and cultural heritage that will welcome the hundreds of bikers from all over the nation. Monteriggioni is ready for the third stage of the Experience calendar, consisting of eleven appointments.
Theater of battles in the more and less recent past, today the hills surrounding Monteriggioni are among the favorite destinations for trekking and mountain biking, which can count on a network of magnificent trails, suitable for bikers of all levels and above all fun. Fund in compact and clayey earth, a feature particularly appreciated by riders, who are ready to tread the trails run by the local Grufoli group.
The crosscountry was tight for the boys of the group, so here is the birth of the first gravity trails, used and appreciated in the past years on the occasion of the first enduro rallies. The third Experience of 2014 is therefore the culmination of a journey undertaken several years ago and mainly guided by the passion for mtb.
Thirty-one kilometers in total, with three special stages and a total elevation gain of 1100 meters. "La Polemica", "I Grufoli" and "El Cabron" are the trails chosen for this first edition of the Monteriggioni race, which will not lack some prominent names in Italian enduro. Appointment for Sunday 18 May in Monteriggioni, we are waiting for you! For all information, please visit the event sheet.
