A challenging route of about 120 km, in a constant alternation of climbs and gentle slopes, leads to an enormous stretch of water immersed in luxuriant vegetation: the suggestive spectacle of the Ridracoli Dam will repay any effort.
From Castrocaro Terme follow the signs for Dovadola and Rocca San Casciano. In Rocca San Casciano, before the bridge, turn left towards San Zeno and Galeata; after a few hundred meters, face a climb of just over 5 km that leads to the top of the Colle delle Centoforche (551 m above sea level).
Descend to join the SS 9 ter; at the crossroads, turn left, after 700 m you will reach San Zeno: at the crossroads, turn right towards Galeata and after 2.8 km uphill you will reach the top of Monte delle Forche (444 m above sea level). From here, descend to the center of Galeata, turn right for Santa Sofia and, after the bridge, follow the signs for Campigna and Florence.
Continue along the state road for a few km, then turn left for Ridracoli and follow the tourist signs until you reach the dam. Arriving at the gate delimiting the dam area (at km 55.2), face a 3 km climb. Once in Galeata, follow the outward journey in reverse. In Galeata, follow the signs for Forli.
At 100 km you arrive in Meldola, cross the town and reach the hamlet of Para. Here, turn left for San Martino in Strada in via Monda and at the crossroads turn right for Forlì.
After 2 km, at the traffic lights, turn left for Vecchiazzano and continue to Castrocaro Terme.
