I’m riding for two weeks up and down the tall mountains of Val D’Aosta. With a group of extremely fit American cyclists in their 60s. Very cool. Reminds me not to give up yet. Keep training, keep riding!
We began in Courmayeur yesterday. I rode up Val Ferret, where I had been cross-country skiing just before the Covid lockdown in March 2020. It was strange and wonderful to see it without snow. The jagged peaks are still jagged and the restaurants are still there. It’s just that this time I had to arrive there on my bicycle. Yikes. There were some very steep sections on the way there.
In March 2020, I had to park at the bottom and take my skis on the bus up to the ski trails. This time I took myself up!
Finally a post!!
