Usually in this blog I like to tell the excursions to places where I go for the first time, this time as I want to tell my friends and I have to pedal wanted to conclude in 2008.
Today at 12:00 we met at the starting point to go round Todisca, of this route I mentioned some time ago.
Unlike then, we are equipped to lunch and to celebrate, so we loaded sandwiches, cake and champagne in my backpack and we started the long climb that separated us from the highest point of the course where we will eat and drink .
The climb, given my lack of recent activity, was not just a piece of cake, but we did not hurry and after a couple of hours, finally we arrived at the lookout point where I remind you, you can admire one of the most beautiful landscapes in the area. Once delivered at an altitude of 650 meters, we finally ate the sandwich deserved, joking, take photos and even a few small movie. Now with these four guys I find really good, each bar is a cause for laughter and fun and I'm glad I did this the last day of the year out right with them.
Just finished the excellent toast with sparkling wine cheaply, we prepare ourselves to face the long descent will bring us back to the starting point. Beautiful down with the bottom made compact by the recent rains, yet breathtaking views and my mind runs in a final in 2008. This year I rode for about 4000 km, trying to see many places as possible and always in good company, I participated in a Marathon and I also participated in the Sicilian Coast2Coast. As a walker I think I have done even more than I expected.
But if I have to be honest, the most positive aspect of 2008 for the bike was the number of friends that I am done with this sport. Were many, and all smart people and sensitive to the environment and society. I hope that 2009 let me know as many friends as I do this and hope to all you readers.
bye .....
