E(9Km)
From Sansepolcro it is advisable to climb upwards to Monte Vicchi following Viale Michelangelo, along the outside of the commercial center uphill until it reaches the Casa  Buitoni, a beautiful villa which many would recognize as the standard emblem of the makers of Buitoni pasta. This road is perfectly tarred but very steep, in fact in the following 5 kms it rises to 950 m starting from 330 m.l.s. . Follow this road which in certain tracts reaches a steep incline of 18% and arrives naturally onto a beautiful country road through woods and natural landscape. Once at the top of the climb (not far from the start of the unturned path ) the road goes downhill gently until the "Passo della Calla".
G(9Km)
here must be careful to follow the exact directions. After approx 2.5 km of country road are will find a road that is easily visible on the left that climbs uphill. Follow it for approx 50 mt. where one will meet a gate and the road continues straight on, downhill towards a chain that bars the road from cars. Here onwards the terrain worsens  but is very pleasant, down for hundreds of meters through woods and meadows. The surrounding landscape is beautiful and wild and quite often it is possible to see roebuck, deer, wild boar and falcons. After another climb of 200 mts. on the left of the road side there is a farm house (Pra' del Volpe) and continuing on the left we arrive at the lovely little church of Aiola, at the side of which there is a space equipped with tables for picnics for public use. Continuing straight from the front of the church the road goes steeply downwards through the woods and arriving once again on the tarred road until the locality of Aboca with the restaurant "Osteria  di Aboca" .
B (1Km)
the moment we arrive on the state road, always on the left we will see the firm called "Aboca Erbe" (Herbal remedies).

 

A (6Km)
continuing along this state road we will arrive at Sansepolcro with the landscape of Valtiberina spread out below.

 

This road also may be ridden in the opposite direction through it is extremely demanding from Aboca to Calla .
