DIFFICULTY LEGEND
The legend refers to some sections of the route that require good driving skills, but which, if desired, can be overcome in complete safety on foot and continuing the route subsequently on horseback. Our legend "technical difficulty" and "technical preparation" refer to journeys with Gravel type bikes on roads/paths (they do not refer to physical effort, which varies based on your training conditions). The levels of technical difficulty refer to the classification C.A.I. (Club Alpino Italiano ).
(*) LEGEND TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY
TC (Tourist): route on dirt roads with a compact and smooth surface, suitable for carriages.
MC (Medium Technical Capacity): route on dirt roads with a slightly bumpy or slightly irregular surface (sheep tracks, cart tracks...) or on paths with a compact and smooth surface.
BC (Good Technical Ability): route on very bumpy dirt roads or on mule tracks and paths with a rather bumpy but fairly smooth surface or compact but irregular, with some natural obstacles (e.g. rock steps or roots) .
OC (Excellent Technical Ability): as above but on paths with very uneven and/or very irregular surfaces, with significant presence of obstacles.
(**) PHYSICAL PREPARATION LEVEL
OPF: Excellent physical preparation
DPF: Discrete physical preparation
SPF: Sufficient physical preparation
Whether you run at full speed fighting against your stopwatch, or as an explorer tourist, or as a simple enthusiast... someone will be there waiting for you!
DISCLAIMER REGARDING THE USE OF THE ITINERARIES
All the routes have been tested several times by us and our volunteers, verifying all the information on this site, but we cannot guarantee its accuracy or precision. We will therefore thank in advance any report for the management of any problems encountered along the itinerary (to be sent to abruzzogravle@gmail.com). Please remember that some sections/itineraries are open to vehicular traffic, therefore they must be traveled in compliance with the highway code and current territorial laws. The author declines any and all civil and criminal liability for any damage suffered or caused to people, animals and things that may occur along the journey. Furthermore, the author assumes no responsibility for any topographical variations in the proposed itineraries, which are traveled at your own risk. In all the routes we have tried to avoid passages through private properties, but this does not exclude the possibility that there may be situations that we are not aware of which require authorization from the respective owners for transit. The travel times and difficulty levels of the various itineraries are based on medium-level cyclists, they are always chosen with subjective criteria and these data can vary significantly depending on the climatic and environmental conditions. We advise you, before departure, to check the information on the site as it may vary along the route.
