Over three hundred participants in mountain biking, from all provinces of the island, who have gathered in Piazza Armerina last Sunday. Great satisfaction for the Association Fiab Mtb Piazza Armerina "The Sicilian Vispi" unmatched by which the owners, cyclists have led to the discovery of a priceless woodland heritage, which was on the abutments of the railway line that connected to Piazza Armerina and Dittaino Caltagirone.
