Again dell'Oltrepo Hills' covered with snow (March 13!) Also on Saturday a little after nine in Stratford are to attack another ride to the hills of Emilia.
E 'less cold than a week ago but there' a slight breeze. Why not keep well covered, at least up to Santa Maria La versa. Here ends the slight slope uphill running from Stratford and the road starts to climb with reasonable slopes.
This road that winds through the hills to the pass of Mount Caramel I really like. E 'sun and warmth this morning helps when everything around the fields are still covered with snow. And 'no traffic, only some local motorists and, occasionally, some tractor. E ' panoramic: is screwed along the ridges of the hills and can look 'is always room to embrace everything around him and appeninni Penice over there' over the pass.
From Passo del Carmine
This time extension is a bit 'route. After the passing of Carmine reach Zavattarello (in which signs itself as "One of the most 'beautiful villages in Italy" ... but he is right). The program included a detour to the Tree Tower and then back up to the carmine from the west side. But I can not find the way and then "turn around" and face again the curves of the malleable Step. Salir ein middle of the fields covered in snow with the blue sky that stands behind the hills and 'beautiful and the effort will bear much more' easily.
What self-timer!
A Ruin opt for a left turn and descend toward the valley floor. No particular reason, just to ride a little more 'in height. In fact, these streets are disengaged from the provincial and fall are very intriguing: a few kilometers of slopes and hairpins dry sometimes not negligible (8-10%) ideal for early season training.
Return to Stratford and 'fast as usual (about 35-37 kmh) but this time the slope of 2% and' to please and very helpful.
the map around
After a bit 'more' than 3 hours are back to the machine: about 79km and more 'of 1330 m of climbing. Another really nice output: for this Saturday I made full of light, air, sun and long horizons and colorful.
