Ferragosto with great heat, better to head towards the mountains. We aim for Alpe San Michele, climbing calmly from Castelveccana on the shaded hairpin bends that lead to Sant'Antonio. We are distracted by the sign for the Froda waterfall, but it's complicated by bike, we'll save it for another occasion

For months Patrick had it in mind: Borgosesia. We pass through Borgomanero and friend joins us. What a special guide, he knows every corner of this land and even tells us about his past: Salesian colleges, spinning mills, and even a lion in a cage. We climb to Boca, to the sanctuary, and

I have never tackled a col, which here is not a hill, but a pass. We are right at the foot of the Col du Revard, how could we not try to relive the atmosphere of a Tour? Indeed, we are not the only ones cycling on the road that crosses the woods, a long and constant climb, never prohibitive, marked by

In this land, a mirror of our own, where descending from the Alps you encounter lakes, we have a local guide. It's our friend François who is hosting us and for today he has proposed a complete tour of the lake, of Bourget. Already in the morning in Aix-les-bains, some are walking, some are running

Desire to see the lake again, the one in Lugano. Familiar roads, places, and atmospheres. But a detour and the curiosity of a sign are enough for a discovery. Here is the Lazzaretto church in Bisuschio. And then up the San Martino hill, in Besano, open view of the mountains and the lake, with the sun

We go out when the heat is less intense. We travel the familiar roads. The lake almost at an all-time low, the Ticino river dry. How sad the effects of climate change!

Given the announced temperature of 39 degrees tomorrow, a bike tour is a must today. My goal is to discover the beach of L'Isle-Adam, which I've heard about for a long time. On the way there, I decide to revisit the Château d'Ecouen, which houses the National Museum of the Renaissance, a museum I really

Direction towards the confluence of the Oise, following the banks of the last meander of the Seine. A flat tire on the rear wheel, which I could have done without, joined the tour. Once repaired and the tire well inflated thanks to the self-service pump in La Frette-sur-Seine, the ride continues in a

De bastide en bastide sur fond d'incendie

The smoke from the megafires west of Bordeaux has subsided this morning and the air temperature is finally milder. This is an opportunity to cycle to Pellegrue to get bread and continue the route to Monségur. Two old bastides from the Hundred Years' War. Return via Saint Ferme then Castelmoron d'Albret

Goodbye beautiful asphalt roads with gentle climbs! Today paths, of stone and sand, brambles and mosquitoes. It is the Gallic spirit that guides us through the woods. Trails near home that we may have ridden once and then forgotten. There is some gravel, a bit on the edge, for riding far from busy roads

We leave at dawn, without any pretensions, we take the French towards Varese. At Schiranna there's everyone, from the overheated to the originals, those looking at the lake, those sunbathing... those booking for two hours. Even the larva you don't expect, crowds on the branches and stays in the sun

With and we start again where we left off last April: Lake Varese. Someone has some new cards to play: a gravel bike, tubeless tires. Someone else, as usual, hopes not to encounter exaggerated climbs or kilometers. All that's left is Lake Comabbio, at a slow pace, crooked like the artist
