After seen the video of the single track on the route number 3 and the video of the route number 5, VisitMontaione.tv is pleased to present a new video of mountain biking. This time it’s a variant of the track number 4 seen from the video camera mounted directly on the bike, just to have the idea of how exciting is this track which is also suitable for those who do not have a great training, thanks to the length of only 6 5 kilometers, and a fairly gentle climb on asphalt. The starting point is in the village of Iano, and from there we go up to San Vivaldo. The climb is gentle and interspersed with short runs. After a few minutes we get San Vivaldo, and after passing some houses, you get to Via Ecce Homo, passing in front of the Holy Mount of San Vivaldo. (that worth a visit, perhaps with more calm).
We continue to climb until we meet on the right the junction to the farm of Pian delle Querce. From here the trail becomes a dirt road and began a wonderful descent into the forest that you can deal with medium speed. At about mid-way on the right you can admire one of the two quarries of Iano. Towards the end of the trail the path becomes rocky and require greater caution until it again reaches the paved road that will bring you back to Iano ready for a new ride.

After seeing the video of two riders that cross the route number 5 from Iano to Castelfalfi, this is the time of the single track. The single track, winds from the top of the Poggio all’Aglione – which offers a splendid panorama over the hill of Montaione and the Tuscan countryside – up to the road connecting Montaione to San Vivaldo. To get an idea, watch out the video in which Alessio falls into one of the most fascinating and fun single track of the circuit paths of Montaione.
