However, contrary to what was planned, I decided not to tell you about the itinerary in detail. The reason is simple: the strong sense of disappointment experienced during the test.<br>The Large Loop is part, together with the Small Loop, of&nbsp;<em><strong>Franciacorta Cycling \u2013 Amphitheater on Lake Iseo<\/strong><\/em>, a cycle tourism project promoted by the association of municipalities&nbsp;<strong>Terra della Franciacorta&nbsp;<\/strong>thanks to funding from the Lombardy Region.<br>After cycling for almost 86 km along the Large Loop, a big question arose in me:\u00a0what evaluations and what checks <em>did Terra della Franciacorta conduct before publishing the itinerary on visitfranciacorta.info?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I found several significant critical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Absence of signage<\/strong>.&nbsp;A onor del vero, nella presentazione dello scorso marzo \u00e8 stato specificato che il posizionamento dei segnali far\u00e0 parte della terza fase del progetto. Tuttavia, a quattro mesi di distanza con i percorsi gi\u00e0 scaricabili, la totale mancanza di indicazioni si fa sentire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dangerous crossings<\/strong>.&nbsp;Il tracciato include numerosi passaggi critici su strade provinciali molto trafficate. Proprio in questi punti sarebbe stato fondamentale anticipare la posa di qualche segnale a tutela del cicloturista.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incomprehensible detours<\/strong>.&nbsp;Risulta difficile comprendere il passaggio in due comuni esterni alla Franciacorta come Concesio e Collebeato (il sito ufficiale del progetto non ne motiva la scelta). Per di pi\u00f9, il tratto di Concesio \u00e8 attualmente interessato da lavori stradali che rendono il traffico ancora pi\u00f9 pericoloso.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What did I appreciate about this route?<\/strong>&nbsp;I appreciate Franciacorta and its extraordinary landscape. And it is precisely for this reason that the test disappointed me so much. Faced with a significant investment, also in terms of communication, I believe that to date this route does not enhance the territory, but rather represents an an obstacle to the serene enjoyment of what surrounds us. I hope that the future holds positive changes for us and that the route will be revised with appropriate adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.franciacortino.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lavori-in-corso-concesio-anello-grande-franciacorta-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"Handlebars of a mountain bike with cyclocomputer and camera in front of a construction site fence blocking the road in Concesio\" class=\"wp-image-4883\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7500109461885371;width:287px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.franciacortino.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lavori-in-corso-concesio-anello-grande-franciacorta-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.franciacortino.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lavori-in-corso-concesio-anello-grande-franciacorta-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.franciacortino.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lavori-in-corso-concesio-anello-grande-franciacorta-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/www.franciacortino.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lavori-in-corso-concesio-anello-grande-franciacorta-1536x2048.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.franciacortino.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lavori-in-corso-concesio-anello-grande-franciacorta-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/www.franciacortino.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lavori-in-corso-concesio-anello-grande-franciacorta.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">After over 70 km of cycling, here's the surprise in Concesio: route blocked by a construction site and road completely barred.
