Collesano - Scilla - River Himera Today's was a trip through the countryside of madonie low. In particular, I met an idea in my mind for a while, ie Himera along the river (and then the A19) from Scilla to the mouth, which is located near the archaeological sites of Himera. To achieve Scillato instead I decided to go to Collesano, then head real Borgo Eras (altitude 600), and from there begin to descend toward the river through the countryside.
Since none of the group knew the area, I organized the night before, I marked the location on a map of the place, so I found the coordinates of the crossroads where we could lose and then I created the waypoints on my GPS which I pointed in the right direction. Let's say it went well, although some doubts that I had lost I had come.
Today was the second exit to the whole group has done since the summer. Last week we launched the start of "Season 9.8" with a nice ice cream Collesano. As the ice cream was good, today we have replicated the inauguration rigustandoci another ice cream. Collesano we have now reached by taking the usual road that we call "The road of building blocks, has been named so only because there is a brick factory. From Collesano we headed towards the main road asphalt Scillato for a few miles, then we went down to the river, via paved roads and dirt. Arrived at the river we finally arrived at the beginning of this long dirt road (15 km) of gently sloping, it must be pedaling along the river and the highway. Let's say the whim me, I get off, but eventually was presenting a little boring as the road, maybe it's more interesting walks uphill. We will see some other time.
Unfortunately now we approach the autumn and the days getting shorter, the same hope of being able to organize some output at the highest Madonie before it is too late.
path classifies it as easy as regards total ascent and technique, but care must be taken to the total distance that is abundant, considering also that it is necessary to ride downhill. Then evaluate your training if you want to replicate the same path.
Track and google gpe
until next time, bye ..
