A dream

· Italië

Just spotted a nonno and nonna sitting in their garden playing briscola no less and I asked them if I could fill up my water and she gestures for me to follow her in the house inn which there was a table full of cherries like the scene of some renaissance painting and the absolute legend gave me a whole punnet for my travels. Had to distribute between the punnet and the easy access snack station and I think these will get me through the next 30km of hills

Personal beat record and a little tumble

· Italië

Arrived at camp and the Garmin tells me I have made a personal beat record. Not sure if it my wobbly legs or the slippery ramp at the campsite that sent me sliding and falling on my bike, breaking the two fork attachments. Good thing I 3d printed some spare. And now I have some battle scars to add to the collection of mosquito hites

Paddling in the massive lake

· Italië

And wine.
