Madonie - Pizzo Dipilato

Today Sergio and I decided to retrace that trip Domenico Pantanino had made with other bikers this winter. The ring route departing and arriving Collesano with a difference between the minimum and maximum point of 700 meters.

Collesano reach by car, and then prepare the bikes and everything you need and we prepare to go in the only part of this tour asphalt of up to about 500 meters after the junction of Munciarrate Isnello direction.

From here begins a long climb that takes about three kilometers up to Pizzo Dipilato (1130 meters), the bumpy sections with really challenging. And to say that Dominic had warned me, but I could not hold back my desire to explore new places.

the end of the last climb we are rewarded with truly breathtaking views of both looking towards the sea, as Pizzo Carbonara or the other peaks. I had never climbed this mountain in watching from afar because I found it barren and very few trees, but after today I think I go back often (maybe on foot).

Unfortunately, the surprises were not over, because reached the top, I expected to find a path that takes me back to the water near Gratteri , and indeed perhaps there is, but the problem is that it was hidden from the tall grass, that nasty full of thorns, and often could not even see it, let alone ride. When we got down our legs seemed exits from a industrial grating.

However, as I often say, this is mountain bike . And then look at the photo below and tell me if it was worth it, of course live is better, but I wanted to point out the same winning combination in the sights of Madonie , sea and mountains.

After we (finally) managed to take the dirt roads, we cleaned all the pins stuck everywhere, even in her hair, and we enjoyed the descent into Collesano almost totally immersed in the forest San Giorgio, where you can see the ruins of the old Abbey.

After the woods we came to town, we passed the ice cream, we put the bikes in the car and go home. I do not dare to recommend it to all of this around, given the high rise (which in any case you can always push the bike) but above the path hidden by grass. I have helped a lot with gps, then I have no problem doing some km with the bike on his shoulder. There are beautiful views of the San Giorgio and the forest with its abbey.

Until next time, bye ..

orca puppets .. nice ride that came out today.

:-) Sorry for the exclamation, but I could not resist, now I, Sergio Nino and we sorbitol quite a journey through the wonders that offers the Madonie. The bit about a 'go' to Mr. Giubal, which is the one who posted the track gps followed by us today.

a good hour drive we go in the car park that marks the beginning and the end of our tour is the first good pitch you encounter after crossing Munciarrate Collesano coming from, go down the bike, replace the front wheels, small checks on equipment and go!

After a bit 'of kilometers on the asphalt to make the first step of Bevaio Beech, flowing with good water that cools a bit' and allow us to fill their water bottles. Unfortunately, this will be the only source of water meet.

continue until you reach the asphalt in Piano Battaglia, here ends the 15 km climb and will also be the point where we will start the jeep. Let our beautiful photos, we enjoy a little 'the landscape and continue onto a path that starts from there. Suddenly it was not exactly "walkers," but overall, especially steps under the dense forest were fabulous. You return to the junction of Portella Hill and take a forest road plan Cervi.

continue in this good of God, where is the host the "silence". The more we move away from the main road, the more you 'hear loud' silence. We cross the plateau in the picture above, then there is a little 'climb (always in the woods) to the Cozzo Dead where, if you're careful, there are views with breathtaking views.

started the descent (finally), but at the Herd Nipitalba we realize that we can not continue cycling (at least we mere mortals). The bottom was very rocky and we had to walk two miles. with the bike on his shoulder. This is also mountain biking.

At the end of this path we see a crossing point between the rocks (photo above) where he started a spectacular descent from the dense vegetation, which leads us to the car. Maybe it was one of the most beautiful runs I've done so far. Curves appeared to exit some of the views of the forest, nothing short of amazing, definitely we will come back on foot to enjoy the best berries, shade, scent and silence of this area.

tour completed in about 4 hours, also includes the usual stop at the ice cream parlor Collesano (why will not I lose weight), where we enjoyed yet another brioche ice cream. Tour from the top ten recommended for all, the technical parts are very few. I hope to return soon.

"A minnulicchia" (The small almond)

What a beautiful hike I did today, I enjoyed really. I did mountain bike in the way I like most, in good company, only wild off-road exploration. We started the industrial agglomeration of Termini Imerese with the intention of achieving Roccapalumba by river. Yes, you read right, the river " Fiumetorto " which flows just near the Fiat plant, along the same valley where is the Termini railway-Agrigento, passing stations Sciara, Montemaggiore Belsito and Roccapalumba . Our idea is to drive along the river and rail as much as possible until you get to Roccapalumba .

We then started to explore as possible to the area, and we managed to get "almost" at the station Montemaggiore Belsito. We have come only country roads, of course we had to retrace our steps a lot of times, I do not even remember how many times we were forced to cross the river, sometimes we have to take the road crossed the railway. In short, you understand, exploration to 360 degrees.

There were funny episodes, especially when we met a horse tied in the district " Minnulicchia " that prevented us from passing. I know perfectly that perhaps the horses are harmless, but at that moment we had all lost our certainties, Sergio the most reckless of us, approached comfortable seeing that the horse was tied with a long rope. Only when all eyes followed the path of the rope, and he realizes that the other was secured just below the top of the foot, we finally saw a bit ' of panic on his face, and he began to back accompanied by our laughter and the horse tried to kiss him.

Overcoming the horse, given the hour, we decided to stop up the river (for now) and begin to return to base. We request information to a farmer and decide to make a paved climb (3 km, 360 meters Hm.) that has brought us to St. John the Greeks, where Sergio to further humiliate start doing stunts.

descent to Sciara, where we opt for a dirt road that took us directly to SS 113, which almost was the end of our trip. Now trace the path to where we were, for the next time to continue exploring Roccapalumba . When we finish, we could even think of returning to the train, or maybe it's better, go by train and return by river.

Until next time, bye ...

Piano Zucchi

Today I hope to have started the series of tours of the fabulous Park Madonie , I had planned a route that went away from the sea (industrial agglomeration of Termini Imerese) and arrive at an altitude of 1100 meters and precisely plan Zucchi. I also thought of using the roads for the outward and return to dirt, but between saying and doing in the middle that we were seeing double had in the last section. I have to remove the habit of going behind Sergio, Torre began to plan a sprint to him that cost him half 'hours of waiting in Piano Zucchi , it cost me a hard work get aggravated by a crisis of hunger.

But in the end I sacrificed the return of off-road, there was neither 'time it' energy (for me) to be able to deal with. So summarizing gone Campofelice of Roccella (first photo) and Collesano (second photo), a return equal to Collesano where the lady in the bar, hearing the screams of hunger away, has come up with a beautiful brioche made with hazelnut ice cream flavor in his hand. After it has eaten ice cream and recovered a bit ' energy, we decided to take a shortcut to the Termini Imerese to save time.

Even though I had to ride 80km on asphalt with a MTB (never happened in my life), the trip was pleasant, diving into the thick woods of Madonie is always a time magic, especially if you're not inside a passenger compartment of car.

I hope that this is the first in a series of excursions in this park, the time is good for the temperature and the days get longer and longer. I also hope that some good soul, an expert in these places (read Pantanino ) I am glad with advice on trails and paths known only to the lucky few who can experience the park throughout the year.

the next kicking.

Ventimiglia di Sicilia

Today's destination was the town of Ventimiglia di Sicilia, a neighboring country and Baucina Ciminna. Me and my friend Joseph to reach the path we SS113, then the road to intercept the plane Spur SP6 (Trabia-Ventimiglia) that led us in the center of the country. Route mainly on asphalt, and then traveled with road bike. For the return instead we got a little 'share to reach the location Portella, then we went through the whole Suvari, the Cross, finally arriving to Casteldaccia which was the starting point.

In practice we have, as you can see from the picture, circumnavigated the entire reserve of Pizzo dog. Unfortunately I have not taken many photos, because at first we had a mechanical mishap that made us lose a bit 'of time, and then forced us to keep pace happy to avoid being surprised by the sunset. In any case I could not resist to capture the lake Caccamo seen from this side (the opposite in Caccamo).

The day was not the best, there were times when the rain seemed imminent, but fortunately we got home dry (apart from the sweat of course :-).

trip was not just my style, was more an exercise to retrieve the last week of inactivity, I want to be fit for next, so enjoy the excursions in which I am organizing madonie with my friends. Hopefully the weather improved to more fun.

also enclose the track gps , although I think it's pretty easy to find your way. Until next time, bye ..

Domination In The Mainstream Movies

Grotta del Monte Leone

For a week I could not find time for mtb . Unfortunately, sometimes these periods captain busy work and family, what made me angry and that there were beautiful days .... patience. Today I'm finally free, but I was suddenly, so I can arrange with anyone, then I decided to do my "usual" around. Destination of the Cave Lion, although not in fact arrive at the cave, to do so should I leave the bike unattended and back the wall under the cave. Best to avoid, I'll settle for watching from below and continue cycling towards Ventimiglia di Sicilia.

In the picture above shows the general context of the location of the cave, it is clear that hole with two black spots in the middle of the mountains in the background, the peaks you see are Leo Pizzo, Pizzo Dog and Pizzo Triglia.

This route is almost all on paved roads, but with little traffic, very little indeed, I encountered three cars at most. It also runs through the village "La Madonna" in Traverse town, where possibly there is also a bar. Meet four troughs, including one right in front of the cave, but be careful because not see from the road, just behind the house of the photo above, if you have a gps you can find it using the enclosed track.

continue the way you ride along the entire Ventimiglia "The Suvarita " and you can see all the peaks of this mountain range, I came over Ventimiglia di Sicilia I turned back, but by this point you can take the streets to get on Pizzo Cane.

I highly recommend the places you visit, the view is mostly to the interior of Sicily, but equally interesting and fascinating, when the visibility is good you can also see distant peaks.
