Ingorda: what is it?
The Ingorda is a non-competitive cycling event during which you’ll discover the Po Valley area together with its specialities.
With cycling and good food we don’t mess around. At the Ingorda we put the gastronomic excellences of the Food Valley first.
From Parma, along the permanent route of the Food Valley Cycle Route, you reach Busseto through rich and numerous refreshment points set up in highlight places.
The route is largely on trafficless or secondary roads, without technical difficulties and significant differences in height, except for some short stretches of gravel roads.
Two formulas:
- INGORDA (85 km), from Parma to Busseto with 12 refreshment stops;
- HALF INGORDA (40 km), from Parma to Colorno, with 6 refreshment stops.
From Busseto, a return service to Parma by bus with bike transport is available, but the best way is with the lively cruise on the Po river.
🚴♀️ Suggested bicycles: Gravel, MTB, Trekking, E-bike.
❎ NO road bike.
🪖 Mandatory helmet.
👔 Event technical apparel at a highly discounted price (it can be purchased upon registration and delivered on the day of the event).
