Adda di Leonardo

A dear friend of mine notifies me this nice place, unfortunately I had no occasion to visit and ride in these places, but they look very nice, I post here on my blog for future record.

On this Link is available a very useful map of the path along the Adda river Starting from Trezzo up to Brivio.

Summer Holidays (Vacanze Marchigiane)

Despite the hot weather, as you can see in these pictures, I had some occasion for an early morning bike ride. After 9 o'clock the temperature were already above 30 degrees and for me was not so suitable and enjoyable. In summary it was not a strong training, but almost a daily constant trainig. I could ride for long only one day up to 140 Km, it was nice before 9 o'clock, afterwards the temperature was so high that I did not enjoy so much.
