Bergamo...

Hit the big Five-oh this July and have just booked Ryanair to Bergamo for the 22/29th.
Anyone familiar with any sub-50 milers in this area?
Managed to hoodwink SWMBO into the idea of me taking the bike,
and was hoping to squeeze in a 2/3hr ride each morning before the kids are out of bed.
Was thinking of just 'zooming' in on Strava routes in that neck of the woods,
but if anyone has any routes or experience of this area of Italy, any tips/info
would be gratefully received...

    Either head north to San Pellegrino Terme for a bit of mountain action around the area or head east towards the Lake Iseo, which is very pretty and less hilly. Don't go south, it's just industrial flatlands

    Ugo...cheers for the tip.
    ...and yes, Homer...just a short stroll outside the city walls.
