CicloClub Pontassieve
Pontassieve Start from the road bike and get to Cervia in Romagna.
After the ride, then, all at the restaurant to eat fish!
What about ...
A nice program ...
So let's start!!
partilarmente The day is beautiful ...
Dark clouds in the sky and very low temperature with us until around
crossing of the Three Beeches
970metri high ...
Meanwhile, in places Horse in mid-ascent of the Passo del
Muraglione
our friend Paul with the help of the van-care, unable to join us!! Reason? He had heard the alarm sound ... Or did not want to make the first climb of the day? Ihihihihihih, we'll never know ... Let's take the first good thing!
the pass of the Three Beeches
temperature marks 12gradi!! Son
9.00 in the morning, apparently in November!
The clouds have not yet thinned, and the cold feels ...
And how if you feel!
Most of us pull out of the van-help stuff the winter sleeves, leggings, long gloves ....
serve!! Why
from now, we expect 15km descent, until Premilcuore (FC)
Someone took the opportunity to do even a little snack ... Bananas, fruit juice, water with sugar ...
We are all now ready to face down toward the Romagna .... The cold weather ahead, but do not scare us too much! Are we covered enough and we start ...
GO!!
Crossing the Three Beeches, also marks the boundary of
National Park and Mount Falterona Campigna
There are an extensive network of trails, all also cover by
In MTB Park, Mount Falterona, from whose slopes the River Arno , whose waters bathe
Pontassieve and Florence
capital of our beautiful Tuscany
A nice Territory to spend their holidays ..
Summer and ...!!!
In the long descent towards Premilcuore (FC)
a mechanical accident, a rear wheel of Marcello "Carrera" is broken!
Assisted by Paul, once removed the broken spokes, you search for a new centering of the wheel ..!!!
Solved the problem, you can share ....
Around mid-morning coffee ...
arrive!!
Check on the sea coast of Romagna
after 130km route in 4 hours and 10 minutes, the average hourly
30km / h
A nice shower and then everyone at the table,
