Alpinista, ora in ... pensione, delle Alpi e non solo.
Tuttavia, nonostante l'età, qualche quattromila me lo concedo ancora.

Challenging and long climb on asphalt, with an average of 9%, with some double-digit ramps. Having commitments in Costa Volpino, I took the opportunity to do the climb.

Variable weather, mostly sunny. With a brief downpour at Sovere/Pianico and arriving at Passabocche. Very hot and stuffy in the first

Ol Cesulì, in bergamasco dialect, means small church. From: ol=the, cèsa=church, lì=diminutive suffix.

Challenging route. Despite the modest altitude.

The track, made of cement and dirt, is always in double digits, with peaks up to 30%. It should be tackled calmly. For Mtbikers who want to test their calves

Maintenance ride on the hills of Sebino and Endine.

On the way back, I decided to take the stretch that connects the Valle delle Fontane to Fanovo. Which I had already ridden several times in the opposite direction.

Some parts are not suitable for everyone, if ridden in the saddle.

Today I found the stretch

The after-effects of the flight on Monte Clemo, given the beautiful clear day and the negative weather forecasts to follow, led me to take a walk by the lake. Omero's left side and cervical vertebrae still sore; the rest is fine.

I took the opportunity, during the first steps, to visit a sick friend

Short ride in terms of mileage, but technical and challenging on the climb to Monte Clemo and the subsequent descent to Pianico. Not suitable for everyone.

The route winds along a mountain trail, with some short sections of cement and paving, with significant gradients between 16/25%, which forced me

The weather is overcast, but dry, and in the late afternoon I have commitments.

I decide with a friend (who has never been there) to climb to Sparavento (Sparavera), then head for Malga Lunga, descend to Gandino and climb back up to Forcella di Ranzanico. A tough route with always double-digit climbs

Simple walk on the Endine hills; with Byllino who needs daily motor rehabilitation.

Cool and windy afternoon, which heralds an incoming disturbance.

Commitments absorb my morning and stress me out a bit.

In the early afternoon I'm home and to flush out the toxins, I take the Leopard and ... off I go.

Nice weather, dry and slightly breezy.

Nothing better than letting loose on the climb up Colle Gallo; I did it easily anyway.

I like to easily skip past

Given the route, I was tempted to set off with the competition Colnago. Then, seeing that on the Mtb Leopard I have the complete instrumentation, including the transponder in case of emergency, I chose to travel with it. More calmly, but with more gears in the transmission, also considering the two climbs

I Càrecc, until the middle of the last century, were the granary of Endine. Corn and beans were mainly grown there.

The area, now entirely peat bog, had many rectangular plots of land, on whose sides there were drainage channels which, at crossing points, had large stones that allowed them to be stepped

Pleasant bike ride on the western Sebino.

Clear, cool day with a strong headwind up to Gorlago. Excellent view of Sebino, Montisola and its two islets.

Favorable going up the Valle Cavallina.

On the small climb of Villongo, I joined a small group of cyclists, who followed me up to Gorlago, where our paths
