How Much Does The Arceus Event Cost

LORENZO VS FABIO

Fabio Cappelli

Below I quote an article on a site that I recommend to all friends to view, http://www.amiciperlabici.it/ complete with introduction by President of that company, dates back to late August, but since my blog has been opened much later, I felt still to be added now:

Hello to all my dear friends,

this summer break is really ending, but as for me ... .. ends happily.

Last Friday, an excellent bike ride of 100 km between the campaigns of good wine, truffles and mushrooms behind the safe driving of a new acquisition for our team .... Fabio. (Lent to a bike rider on the road).

As' President, I have really let me congratulate for the excellent and substantial summer transfer market, widely breached the salary ceiling (about 8 new purchases and no transfer) good facing situations of accident and cyclists still not in the group but that awaits them with open arms, holding the jersey despite proposals for self-radiation.

Back to Fabio and around the beautiful streets in the Tuscan unknown to me I let his words describing the great day of sport and friendship

... .. "The day

Lorenzo FRIENDS FOR BIKE - GREVE'S BRIDGE

Fabio MTB 100% - San Miniato

the background: ... .. and then they had lost sight of a few months earlier due to force majeure, with a promise to make that lowest common denominator that is the bicycle, would make them recover sooner or later, shoulder to shoulder for some kind of Italian roads.

There were already gone close at the Sella Ronda Bike Day held in late June in the background of that superlative natural scenery are the Dolomites, but this time a logistical problem had prevented the meeting of the two , who had to settle for take away only the same streets in the company of a colorful carousel of friends up and down the hairpin bends of the valleys of Trent.

Facts: Both of us had hoped, we both were thinking for a while ', but every time comes a hindrance who was a healthy blend cycling, it seemed right, wanting to disturb reminiscences of Manzoni, which s'avesse that meeting not to do, now or ever, of course, the main obstacle was the distance, then a favorable coincidence has led that in the end there was a meeting with many km eaten under a blazing sun, surrounded by a world-class stage, riding the winding Tuscan countryside between Florence and Pisa.

the record: rendezvous was set for 9:00 am at the intersection traffic lights on the highway that leads from Empoli in Montespertoli, after the usual greetings was launched officially tour of this hot and humid day in late August, the start was naturally quiet, between a word and the other two have started to warm up their legs, while the lungs have become familiar with very heavy air.

Asphalt is slipped under the wheels, and so soon found themselves at the foot of the incline of the first day, which leads to Ortimino, then down to Castelfiorentino, after a stop-off, due to level crossing closed, continued towards Gambassi, here waiting for the real big climb of the tour, a long and endless strip of tar, for most exposed to the sun and in the final stretch with slopes that have exceeded the 10%.

E 'began the slow and laborious ascent to the summit of the hill of Gambassi, the heat has made the road surface a simmering oven and here I think in kilometers but in feet, one after another, in pursuit of constant patience, who knows what has passed in the minds of two climbers, grief? Resignation? Who can tell? Rose, with a sense of duty were up! Son arrived in Pill, about halfway from the top and first paraded in front the church lovely romantic as mentioned by Sigerico Francigena stop along the way, and yet you go, now the site change, it seems a short section of a ring highway, the two are small on This broad language of asphalt, the gradients do not allow escape, shadow!? Not even talking about it, yet few rides, those who ride on the pedals, finally on top! And although there is still a good deal 'for the way back, there is the awareness that he had put behind the stroke certainly more difficult of the whole journey.

The circumnavigation of these winds on the main points that connects Gambassi Montaione, the scenario is typical of the Tuscan countryside, between roads dotted with cypress trees, stone cottages on the ridges and all the charm of a land that encloses if all ages who come through in the course of history.

But back to the record, are now undoubtedly the muscles warm, the skin oozes from every pore rivers of liquid mixed with mineral salts, and our Argonauts are about to enter in Montaione, is just a small pit stop and a few minutes to look at the beautiful valley that opens their eyes from the terrace of the country, unfortunately, the visibility is not the best, not less, however, allows a glimpse of the magnificent surrounding horizon.

Leaving Montaione finally a long and windy descent, comes as a blessing! After granting a truce so go to our intrepid travelers, too bad from this point of view, the slopes are never too long! But

the journey continues and at the foot of the slope have turned right headed to the village of Armor, the first outpost of the province of Pisa, outside the town is waiting for a long straight that come to the end of that, the path turns left, continues completely flat until you cross the village of La Serra, and left again along another dirizzone which is connected with the main road that leads to Palaia Montopoli, and just this village will be the next joint that have crossed our already exhausted players.

Another uphill to the town center and a stop under the tower of Magdalen rifocillante to then take in the most verdant stretch of the whole route, the spot Montebicchieri, an area characterized by dense vegetation and a path away from busy roads not far from here, but in this oasis of peace seems that life runs at a different pace, it seems that here the nature of complaints when a small piece of wild beauty, leaving out the noise from the nearby industrial areas, but the invitation to romance, and time to take the high road, meeting at the last work day of the rise in San Miniato, the sun hours not really rest, each breath is hot air that goes right up the bronchi, and even if you start to see the end, the ride started to become a 'odyssey, and who does cycling know what I mean!

However the castle is stormed San Miniato, ten centuries of history have warmly embraced the two wanderers in the shadow of the mighty tower of Frederick II, a stop to admire the traits of the citadel and then down to the valley for a final hit and run cultural, archaeological excavations of San Genesio.

now blending the legs by force of inertia, are the last glorious cycling back to where it all began more than four hours before, certainly tired, soaked with sweat, his mind clouded, but knowing that they had completed a around the many faces, and honored to have an appointment postponed too many times, Finally, wanting to make a synthesis also of numeric character at the end of this output will have the budget, a total of 83 km (100 with transfers), an uphill climb of 1009 m, an average speed of 20.9 km / h, a total time of 3h 58 '57 "including stops (about 4h 50' including transfers), Kal burned about 3200."

Fabio Thanks again and good luck for the rest ... ... ... ... ..

to Lawrence soon.
