The Odyssey Day 10: 🇦🇹 ⛪️Imst - Garmisch Partekirchen ⛰️ 🇩🇪
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
We arrived in sunshine. That is the first thing to say. The goddesses were with us to the end and when we came into Garmisch the sun was on the…

The Odyssey Day 9: 🇻🇦San Valentino alla Muta - Imst 🇦🇹
The Last Italian Morning
When I opened the windows, the incense came first. Then the bells. Then the music of a procession moving down the cobblestone street as if time had nowhere particular to be.
The hotel owner was Italian but he knew more about Chihuahua than we did. He…

The Odyssey Day 8 part 2:🏔️Passo Stelvio. Buona Discesa 🦌
If I had to describe the day in two words, they would always be the same: pain and glory.
The Stelvio broke me a little. But one does not climb the king of mountains to stay the same. True nobility is not being better than others. It is being better…

The Odyssey Day 8 part 1: 🏔️Passo Stelvio. The Climb 🌬️
I left with the first light. The Stelvio does not forgive those who arrive late and snow was forecast at the summit. There are mountains you visit. There are others you have to earn. Afterwards it will go without wherever you go 👑
We climbed from Prato allo Stelvio. Eighty…

The Odyssey Day 7: ⛰️St Constantin - Bolzano - Laces 🧖♂️ Recovery Ride
“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are stronger at the broken places.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
Mountains are beautiful like goddesses when they are kind to us. I watch the rain fall on the peaks from here: clouds unravel gently, and the frozen wind carries the rain…

The Odyssey Day 6: 🏔️Pordoi and Sella Ronda🪨
The Dolomites looking from up in the sky. A Rock wall that feels infinito.
There are days in the mountains like that. Days when the passes have good names and the legs have nothing left to give them.
We did Pordoi first. Then Sella Ronda. The body knew by then…

The Odyssey Day 5: 🧧Pordenone - Dolomiti 🏞️
The Guardians
Seven hours of sleep. The body wants more. It always wants more by day five. The legs are not what they were on day one. The power is gone somewhere back along the road, left behind in some climb we have already forgotten the name of. They hurt…

The Odyssey Day 4: Trieste - Udine - Pordenone
The Republica and the Città di Pianura. Juli and GP Stayed in Udine
The day began with logistics, the way most good days do. Bikes out of the hostel by seven. Breakfast without rushing. Trieste still in the legs, still in the eyes.
Then Gian Paolo stepped off the train.

The Odyssey Day 3: ⚓️Rijeka - Trieste 🔱
The Storm and Shipped Sea
The day started easy. Coffee. A good bike shop run by someone who knew what he was doing. Eggs and croissants. The morning felt like it might stay that way.
It didn’t.
Juanse and I rode into the highway by mistake. A few meters back…

The Odyssey: Day 2. ☀️Novalja to Rijeka🪨
The Sun and The White Stone Walls
The sun was the hard part. Not the miles, not the hills, not the cars that passed close enough to feel on your skin…the sun. It came off the white stone walls like a second source of light, sharper than the one above.

The Odyssey: Day 1. 🌊 Zadar to Novalja ⛰️
The Sea and the Mountains
We had borak with fresh cheese for breakfast. The tire blew before we finished. It was half past nine and already thirty-five degrees. The sun came down hard and didn’t care.
We fixed the wheel. And the odyssey began.
The mountain was always there. It…
