CITATION OF (BREVETTO DI) MONTE NERONE<br />
THREE ASCENTS, 45 KM OF ASCENDING IN ONE DAY!<br />
Giordano CASTAGNOLI<br />
If you love to ride up with the<br />
wind in your face and see<br />
splendid vistas at the same<br />
time, this is your challenge!<br />
1. The Brevetto <strong>of</strong> Monte<br />
Nerone is a citation for touring<br />
cyclists who use either a road<br />
or mountain bike. Participants<br />
will scale three separate routes<br />
up Monte Nerone (mt. 1,500<br />
slm) on three asphalt roads that<br />
rise respectively from the<br />
Italian cities <strong>of</strong> Appechio,<br />
Piobbico and Pianello di Cagli.<br />
Cyclists who satisfactorily<br />
complete the itinerary in one<br />
day can apply for the citation<br />
<strong>of</strong> their participation in the<br />
Brevetto di Monte Nerone.<br />
2. The Brevetto di Monte<br />
Nerone is simply <strong>of</strong>fers a<br />
cycling tourist’s itinerary; it is<br />
not a sports demonstration nor<br />
an athletic event and does not<br />
predict the amount <strong>of</strong> time it<br />
will take for each ascent.<br />
3. Participation in the<br />
Brevetto di Monte Nerone is<br />
absolutely free and remains the<br />
exclusive responsibility <strong>of</strong> each<br />
cyclist. The Libretto di Viaggio<br />
(Trip Notes) will be given to<br />
only the cyclists who declare<br />
themselves to possess a<br />
medical certificate attesting to<br />
one’s fitness to practice<br />
sporting activities.<br />
4. In consideration <strong>of</strong> the<br />
climbs’ level <strong>of</strong> difficulty,<br />
foreseeing a long time to finish<br />
the itinerary and the variability<br />
<strong>of</strong> possible weather conditions,<br />
and the height <strong>of</strong> the summit,<br />
the itinerary discourages<br />
nonexpert cyclists, including<br />
those who have not prepared<br />
adequately beforehand.<br />
Cyclists affected by chronic<br />
health issues and/or conditions<br />
that are exacerbated by<br />
prolonged exposure to the<br />
elements should consult a<br />
physician now and right before<br />
their departure date. The two<br />
medical visits will help the<br />
physician compare normal<br />
fitness to trained fitness level.<br />
5. Those who intend to<br />
attempt the Brevetto di Monte<br />
Nerone can request a set <strong>of</strong><br />
training exercises when they<br />
apply. This personal record <strong>of</strong><br />
training and the actual riding<br />
up the three separate ascents to<br />
Monte Nerone costs 10 euros.<br />
