Big transfer

The crazy idea is born in a cold winter day: make the transfer from my home to the race location with minimum impact, only by human power.

Let's go!

start from Aosta at 5 o clock

saturday march 10th, 5 a.m.; I start my road trip. Temperature is cold, very cold, only 29°F, icy roads and trails.

Noboby's on the road, I'm alone. I like it!

firsts sun lights warming!

first stop at the Viverone's lake

second stop near Malpensa's airport, after 8 hrs ride!

Ticino river crossing

After 11 hours and 160 miles across the mountains, villages, cyties and Fields of wheat, rice and barley, and only 2 little stops, I'm at destination.

my arrival with friends

Friends and singlespeeders waiting me with some beers. NICE!

After 4 hours (and a lot of beers!) the race start. 9 p.m. and only 11 bikers at the start (is the first edition) we decide to make 2 laps everybody and a "one shot race", only one lap at the maximum speed!

3-2-1 Go!!!

My tired legs pushing my air carbon to a crazy speed, and the beautyful and technical trail ends soon.

I close in first position, but this is no so important... My target is riding more and more, racing is only a excuse to See friends and to have fun!

the "podium" after the "race"

The day after I come back home by train. Relaxed and happy!

on the way to come back home

Good week end for me and my niner!
