The goal was to complete the last climb of the season, but today (the next day) I'm already thinking about the next one, so we'll see...
What's certain is that for me, a flatland cyclist, it was a real grind, but it was rewarded by the satisfaction (simple and naive, I know) of having done it.
Every ride

The bicycle is (also) a tool for learning. Backroads that would be unwise to travel by car offer pleasant surprises and opportunities to delve deeper into the culture of the places you pass through: the Pedemonte fountain, dating back to 1555, is a prime example. Leaving home for a climb and accidentally

Along the Rosaro hill are two crosses: the older one, half-submerged by brambles, bears the date 1716, and it's a shame that the dedication is probably obscured by the brambles; the more recent one commemorates two young men killed by the Nazis in 1943. In this regard, I'll quote part of an article from

The Berici Hills seen from afar, dotted with countless shrines, oratories, and churches unlike anything you'd find in the Vatican. A strenuous route with many sections requiring pushing due to the terrain being more suited, in my opinion, to mountain biking. Every time I undertake these grueling efforts

The excuse for this very short outing was the climb known as the "Pendola," but the real surprise was the opportunity to see the interior of the parish church of San Floriano, which I had always found closed. The Romanesque style (to which the church belongs despite several subsequent interior renovations

It's been a long time since I've cycled around the Torricelle, and I was inevitably struck once again by the beauty of the setting and the panoramic view of the city from the sanctuary's terrace. I'm a Veronese by distant adoption, I consider myself a citizen of the world, and I struggle to feel like

I wanted to test the recently opened section of the Treviso-Ostiglia cycle path from Legnago to Cologna Veneta, then continue along the same cycle path to Grisignano, returning by train. It was all very beautiful, with one major flaw: from Legnago, I found the first bench after 30 km and the first (and

Beautiful ride from Modena to Bologna through the hills of Bologna. About half the route is on dedicated bike paths, some of which were built on the site of a disused railway. On the hilly section, some double-digit climbs forced me to dismount and push (I don't mind because I know I'm terrible at climbing

Gita veramente gravel (su 80km totali almeno 40 di sterrato variamente assortito, con rampe e single track) per raggiungere Cavriana, luogo interessato dalle battaglie risorgimentali che hanno la loro maggior epica (uso questo termine di malavoglia perché nasconde decine di migliaia di morti nello spazio di un giorno) nelle vicine località di Solferino d San Martino. Durante la battaglia del 25 giugno 2859 Henry Dunant ebbe l'idea di fondare un corpo di soccorso neutrale che avesse il compito di assistere i feriti di tutti gli schieramenti. A Cavriana soggiornò il 29 giugno 1859, una targa ricorda l'evento.

A bike ride to Sirmione yielded two unpleasant surprises: there's no bike path from the Gardesana road to the town center, and you can't even push your bike into the historic center. This is a complete disregard for sustainable tourism.
