March 22, 2025,We can be heroes...🚴🌧️🌧️🚅🚅

Unable to pedal tomorrow we challenge the weather that theoretically tells us that it shouldn't rain much. In reality the first two hours are under pretty heavy rain. We only meet two "Heroes", or idiots, you decide🤭! Oh well, we've done a few km, we get on the train in Somma soaked and muddy, we go back to base, yay!

Classic of the Milanese, Milan-Sesto Calende. Always beautiful, very few people around and quite pleasant temperature. Return with new Hitachi train very comfortable 😊

Quiet ride along Villoresi and Naviglio Grande. Return by train.
Nb at km 16.3 continue straight at the roundabout on SP 119 dir and after a few meters you go onto the Villoresi cycle path. The detour I took is a meaningless single track in the middle of the fields, to be avoided.
