Mazzamuto Cave - Views and single track

Days ago I discovered that my old friend I had not seen a bit ' of time, for some years the practice mtb, and it's very good, in fact participates in a few races and is usually participate in many meetings in a spirit of hiking. So I took the opportunity and I convinced him to accompany me and my comrades in single track in the area of \u200b\u200bthe cave Mazzamuto , he knows very well.

are five of us, me, him Thurs ', Nino, Ciccio and Sergio, We meet at the station of Altavilla Milicia and head to the summit near the antenna which is located at an altitude 770 meters. A bit ' of state and climb to the S. Michele, let's ride a bit ' off to warm the legs and head towards the gate of the forest, where after a long very steep climb from the road we decide to overview. And what views! This road goes along the side with a "nice" in a succession of back slope leading up to the top of the mountain.

finally arrived to the highest point finishes the effort and the fun begins, because now we have to go down to the grotto all in single track. Obviously Thurs 'had no problem, but I'm not very good that I run for cover and then lower a bit ' the saddle, do my prayers, a few seconds of yoga and let myself go. I certainly enjoyed it a lot, and put the fear, put the lines of Ciccio behind me, I did laugh the whole downhill. Although normal in some tight turns off the bike (voluntarily or falling), I must say that I can not resist trying the same these paths, it's too good to go down these paths a few centimeters wide, sometimes exposed and sometimes completely submerged in the woods.

But in the end, for better or for worse I came down on the way down I did not get any photos because by paths unknown forced me to be highly concentrated, but there again and I'll try to better document the journey. This area difference as I thought contains a myriad of bike trails (more or less), so I hope you enjoyed yourself Giò so maybe he will bring with him again to show others.

Until next time, bye ..

Madonie - Bosco S. Giorgio

Today I attended a rally organized by Domenico which took place almost entirely within the forest S. George in the park Madonie. It 'was very nice, we were ten and all with a great desire to have fun. Actually after a while 'that we started from the time of Lascari Gratteri we have become the "band of the hole." I had never seen so many holes all in one day, we thought it was the fault of 'evil influence of one of us, so we ran for cover, looking to buy a talisman (red horn) that could protect us, but the wheels continued to deflate imperterritamente. Luckily the tide of drilling was stopped before they finished the spare rooms so we could enjoy this beautiful morning surrounded by nature.

We have gathered all in Lascari where greeted and chatted after having just five minutes we got on our bikes to reach Gratteri, we did not use the road, but we arrived in town by a dirt road. The climb was challenging, but certainly not prohibitive, because it was all in style then hiking ...

The next stop was a visit to the ruins of the abbey of St. George, we went to reach for a single track, the first of a long series that has given us our guide today. We stopped a bit 'to browse among the ruins while Dominic told us several local legends related to the monks who once lived in this abbey.

It was after a succession of climbs and descents on dirt roads and trails all through the woods, some were clean and easy to ride, others a little 'less, even in one case because of a landslide We struggled a bit 'to proceed, but the mountain bikers as we would not return "never" back. :-)

We met several sources of spring water, which makes this journey even more interesting, because it does not need to carry around a lot of reserves. We got out of the woods near Collesano and we have continued almost all downhill (which Goduria) to Lascari. Also in this section there were a lot of fun off-road.

My final assessment of this meeting is very positive and I hope that in future I will be able to participate with others in this group, which clearly felt the spirit of hiking trails and a passion for mountain biking and nature.

Until next time, bye ..
