Profitable high-altitude ride, starting from Loc. Angelina (below the Fuscagno Pass) and arriving at Premadio, also crossing the Eira Pass and the Forcola di Livigno.
Cold wind at altitude and a temperature of 2° on the way out. No wind and pleasant warmth on the way back.
After reaching the three passes

Tranquil bike ride, with the goal of revisiting some churches on the Clusone plateau.
Ideal temperature. The time to dress warmly is fast approaching.

Pleasant high-altitude ride with good weather, although cool (10°/11°). Done in total relaxation, without ever forcing.
With friends, this time, I chose to do, on MTB, the Fraele Valley, which I had already visited several times for mountaineering or hiking: beautiful, charming and welcoming in its graceful

Heavy cloud cover with some clear spells. To avoid trouble (possible downpours) I decide to drive up to Ponte Nossa by car. Where I will decide what to do. Here it is sunny and windy, with the mountain tops shrouded in dark clouds. I put the rain jacket in my backpack, and decide to climb to the Colle

Two years ago, the group of officer friends had organized the hike to Passo dei Contrabbandieri, with the attached ascent to Cima Casaiole, Monte Tonale Occidentale and Cima Cadì (mountaineering/hiking). Last year to Monviso, King of Stone.
This year he changed sports: Mtb to Mortirolo, Gavia and Stelvio

I wake up early, very well, as rarely happens to me.
After taking care of a few things, I decide to go for a ride with my Mtb Leopard. I don't set any destination. I'll see as I go.
I climb towards Forcella di Ranzanico: a tough climb, consistently in double digits (percent).
Strangely, I see that I'm doing

The sun is beating down and the heat is intense. With the brave Billyno, we decide to go for a walk in the woods. To enjoy the coolness of the breeze halfway up the slope.

Hundreds of times I have ascended Colle Gallo. From both sides. Both in training and in races. A couple of times against the clock from the traffic light in Casazza. Best time: 16'05". Those were... different times.
Because it's close to home, I've always considered it "my" climb. Just take a moment and

I have to go out on an errand, but not wanting to take the car, I opt for the Leopard, even though the sky is predicting more rain.
I don't set a route; I'll decide that as I go, scanning the sky.
Fanovo, Palate, around the lake and Ranzanico. Up and down!
I arrive home just in time for the first thunderclaps and downpours.

Pleasant walk to the Cherio Waterfall.
Easily reachable in about 15 minutes, after the end of the upper section of the Percorso Vita.
Ideal for the coolness it provides on hot and stuffy days. It is about ten meters high; but still interesting to see. At its base, a small gorge with icy waters.

After half a century, I decide to return to the source of the Cherio; but on an MTB and not on foot.
I really appreciate the new cycle path that climbs to Solto Collina. Then, shortly after the junction for Fonteno, I take Via Peser, which after the initial stretch becomes a dirt mule track and, at times

For a couple of days I haven't been feeling my best due to a little bronchitis. However, I wake up feeling quite good. So I decide to go for a bike ride to see how I do. I'll decide the route as I go. I choose my trusty Mtb.
At Sovere I decide on the road to Polàncc, which will take me to Cereta Basso

Large loop done in total relaxation, without ever forcing.
After Onore I wanted to tackle the short, but demanding, climb, constantly in double digits, of the Valle del Res, which emerges at Castione.
In my opinion, it is advisable to do it downhill, although with caution.
The route is on dirt and paved

Beautiful ride, repeating a youth route.
Slight haze below, clear arriving at Selvino and up to Orezzo.
Faced the climb to Selvino calmly and smoothly. It oscillates between 4% and 9%, with a short steep section at 12%.
The Aviatico-Orezzo road is still the same as it used to be: narrow and winding. Therefore
