cordura jacket, cordura with internal thermal boots, long gloves, balaclava, headband and go back.
Step one: Francesca's house, I do ride with two friends in this time and motion are just .... This means many many curves ...!!! (I love to ride with Frank, but the few times that I just love to go .... say ..... a bit '+ strong).
09.00 am meeting .... are the final, official .....!!! Get off the bike, look to the sky ... and my traveling companions and I immediately realize that they too are hesitant on the route we had planned. Two minutes of conversation and so it changes everything ...!!! Penice you go to the mountain, then we look at the sea .... London here we come!
For those who have already made Penice starting from my area, knows how devastating it is up to Mortara, Voghera ..... too many miles straight and flat in front of you parry and sleep with us that still does not help to make them less heavy.
Okay we are now in the area, and we do a variation before you get to send it to us in the Valley Penice Nice .... the road is narrow and winding but beautiful views worth a look.
The valley ends in Nice, where part of the climb to Varzi Penice: This is not the comment, I wanted to go on, hurry up, I wanted to "run "....!
Al Penice you stop short, just long enough to realize that I have on the peak of the cemetery, we leave for Bobbio where we stop to eat in the shade of the beautiful bridge that is outside of the town.
the restart the goal is to move from Genoa to Savona and then return to the Redwing.
Joseph leads us to Genoa by the Trebbia path that I'd never .... Wonderful: a succession of quick corners which demand that you take their rhythm potertele enjoy .... and so on for almost 100 km, the traffic was zero, and Goduria of 1000 ...!!!
Once you pour in Genoa in front of a sea of \u200b\u200bbeautiful blue, the gray of the morning is gone and there's a cloud in the sky, someone sunbathing on the beach, and I curse because with my pants and jacket heat the soul .. I'm sweating!
Highway exit Varazze and to arrive at Redwing, another road that says "speed" and I try to please her. Pause in the village to buy its famous macaroons and a cup of coffee before returning.
In Alexandria take the highway, the sun is still fairly high though they are about the 6: a bit sorry 'that the day is over, I'm not tired despite the 500 km and continue driving, but maybe just for today.
I thank my good company: Ugo (Yamaha Fazer FZS 600) and Joseph (Suzuki V-Storm 600), hoping that our season is not over yet!
