It had been a while since I'd ridden to Quarna Sotto. The climb is a nice 8% gradient up a series of switchbacks on the flank of the mountain which I managed at around a VAM of 735m/h. Not too bad but by the time I got to the lower village square I was done. About 7 minutes down on my PR at 38m42s. I at least managed to keep about 30kph for the flat ride from Omegna to Pettensasco.
Quarna Sopra is one of the training routes of Elisa Longo Borghini who has just wom the women's Tour of Italy for the first time.
Warm. Usual light Sunday traffic.
