REPETTI M A U R O - 23-03-2025:
Long climb, but quite challenging. You can divide the rise in two pieces. The first part from San Biagio up to Novara di Sicilia (beautiful country at 650 meters above sea level)
The second from Novara to the top (m 1.125)
The first section climbs gradually along a river without a drop of water (as all the rivers in Sicily in the summer) and reaches Novara that you can see already a few km before climbing.
Cross Novara for about 1 km on a bed of stones squared pretty rough. Immediately after the bridge out of the town begins the second part, the most difficult to the top Mandrazzi, you go through a forest with a few bends.
Traffic = slightly up in Novara, near zero up to the top.

The signs of the top and the building on the pictures of the top is at N37.97562 E15.13796. An alternative for the SE route (SS185) via is from Francavilla over the SP5. Much steeper, before reaching the SS185 it goes a bit downhill.
