Heart Murmurs And Antidepressants





FIRST EXIT TO RISE IN 2010: FROM STRADELLA A STEP BACK AND CARMINE

After a bit 'of cycling strictly flat and boring it was time to bring some' wheels on a slope.
The day 'ideal: clear skies and bright sunshine. Too bad that it makes a great cold. Approaching Stratford in the car I can not but notice some ominous puddles completely frozen.
usual parking spot and attack on the gentle slope leading from Stratford to St Mary the Versa. It 's a fairly monotonous stretch, with a 2% slope, but that's fine as heating. Today, then, because the climate, there is' really needed it.

From Santa Maria poured the fun begins. Finally, you climb. All around the fields have not yet been exposed the sun is covered with a white frost but it seems that in reality ', as seen from near and' snow. The residue of angry snowstorm that hit the Oltrepo 'yesterday afternoon.


Tuscany? No, it goes beyond '!

The climb to Crocetta and 'very pleasant throughout the sun (as most of this route), and with a gradient of all pedaled. Ideal as a first ascent of the year.

Crocetta From coast to proceed with gentle ups and downs. I started very early this morning (I was riding to 9) but since the cold many riders opted for the late morning : Pedal in perfect solitude and silence almost absolute.

The snow on the fields looking towards the Penice Step by Carmine

reached the pass of Mount Caramel I throw myself down to Casa Marquis: This and 'the tipping point. The descent requires much attention in the shadow point, there are patches of snow and ice on which 'easy to slip. It 's not the time to knock the "Savoldelli. A valley around the bike and returned to Stratford now facing uphill the soft curves of the pass road of Mount Caramel.

After the climb to step back and 'ups and downs in all a pleasant downhill trend. Along the return encounter many cyclists who have opted for a time less "aggressive" and enjoy the warmth of the sun. But down in the air and 'cold, we are just above zero and heavy jacket Rapha (with the attached long pants and sweater) does his duty very well. It 'funny how every cyclist knows how to interpret the art in its own way of cover in winter meet some that are harnessed as Amundsen (with a neoprene face masks) and others, perhaps undecided at the start, but which are not covered very vistosissime have humps, apparently concealing heavy jackets for the time not yet used.
The last 15 km from Santa Maria are poured into a slight slope drittone that I drink to 35 media (yes, thank you .... there 'descent ..).
While I'm putting my bike in the car of a colleague is leaving his foot from them '. Greets you, of course. He goes: I already have for today 'and gave me really enjoyed it. 62km and about 1100 m in altitude for an average of just under 25 mph.
The season starts rose in the best way.
