The SP69 is an old gravel military road that runs at altitude between Monte Erisetta and the Sella di Gouta. Technically it has no singletrack sections, but the kilometres of loose stone test your arms and suspension: take it easy and enjoy the scenery.
More than a destination in itself, it is the link that lets you reach the starts of several trails in the area and put together longer rides.

Entrambe le direzioni
Gravel military road with long stretches of stones and loose surface: a full-suspension bike is recommended.
It gives access to the trails between Monte Erisetta and the Sella di Gouta and connects to the routes towards the French border.
Rules and good habits that apply on all our trails.
Check the forecast for the trail's altitude, not just the coast. If storms are forecast, postpone the ride; after heavy rain the ground stays slippery for days.
Stay on the trail and don't make shortcuts. Brake without locking your wheels, give way to walkers, slow down near people and animals, close gates and take your litter back down.
Don't light fires and don't drop cigarette butts. Respect bans during high-risk periods, especially in summer and in wind. If you see smoke or flames, move away at once and call for help.

Don't set off alone on a trail you don't know, and tell someone your route and expected return time. Bring water, a repair kit and a jacket; always wear a helmet, and protection on technical sections.
Suggest it yourself: all you need is the GPX track, a few photos and a couple of lines of story. We ride it, prepare the sheet and publish it with your credit.
