We’ve had a break in the weather and I’ve been out on my bike. A couple short trips and today a longer one (separate post). All local, rode from my house.
Got some dramatic photos with an interplay of cloud and sun. I followed a stream up towards the mountains. You can follow along with me.
I also did another short ride above Camaiore, but didn’t take my phone, blast it, so no pix. I’ll return with my phone next time because (of course) there were cool things. For example, a huge mural of Pinocchio on the side of a house way up in the mountains. Like…why?!
On the last village up, there was a plaque to the horrific flood of June 19, 1996 when houses were pulled apart and people died. The plaque says that these two houses are no longer there but nobody died in them.
Finally, as I rode home, I passed this evening fog/smoke scene. The light was going, but the gray drifting through the trees just took my eye…
You have shown my parts of Italy that are making my feet itch and checking expiration date on my passport….WOW!
Looks like an amazing ride, JSH!! xoxo from MRH
So, did you just ride from the house? Pinocchio seems to be big in Italy. When I was on my Piedmont ride, there was a whole festival going on about him in one of the small towns we visited.
Yes. Come. I’ll have a spare bed again in the summer!
It was. The scenery here is awesome!
Yes. Just rode from home. So many rides are 90-120 mins long from here.
I look forward to riding with you there!!
