Sunday, September 16: Departure time at 11.30 covered very bad everywhere, but we leave for a ride between the valley and the Val Maggia Vigezzo to go up to Lake of the Elder.
It starts as usual Gozzano after recovering from the girlfriend, and as usual up through Vigezzo you around the lake Orta until Omegna, Gravellona pass by and take the freeway to get boring in Masera .... for a change and a little water keeps us company in the transfer.
Once in Masera Vigezzo climb immediately to stop eating in the woods in S. Maria Maggiore. One bite and the flight path to Cento Valli road that will lead us almost to the King in Ascona. Having reached the end of the Hundred Valleys Val Maggia we take the characteristic because in the end the Maggia river has dug a veritable canyon in soft rock and easily malleable.
After about twenty miles you will arrive at Bignasco, thus far the road is very wide and in excellent condition with almost brand new asphalt, but now it starts to rise, the back and begin to peep some goats on the road you parry claiming ownership of land.
The road can not go wrong: there is a need to do and you go up and climb up to Mogno which has a particular structure 'll understand that after being a church , and then again on up to Fusio which is the last village before the dam Elder you like forehead.
The time is not optimal and we can not tell if the Naret can then go down to Airolo, so we ask for information motorcyclists indigenous confirm our doubt to Naret the road ends, and not only the slope has gradients of 15% on roads with no protection and the bottom very often in a poor state .
The mist does not abandon us and also starts to feel a little cold so we decide to descend to the valley going from Ascona and closing the day with the inevitable coastal road of Lake Maggiore.
