The Sunnyside Ride
43km 200m elevation gain

​The road between Lecco and Varenna has a special microclimate: sunny and warm from the morning until evening, it’s the classic winter training ride for most of the local cyclists…but not only in winter! Piazza San Giorgio is full of local cyclists every Sunday morning! Riders stop in the piazza for a quick coffee break, or to refill their bottles at the fountain, and then off they go back home! We suggest doing this ride after having completed the first two legs of the lake: Villa Vistas and the North Face. Only ride this branch of the lake if you are comfortable riding through tunnels (there are a few) and on the 2km freeway section (there is a shoulder but fast traffic).
