first day, or better, first half-day of cycling. it seems like three separate days in one, working in the morning, travelling in the afternoon, and cycling in the evening.
needless to say, it was incredibly hot. everybody knows and we're all fed with listening stories about how much hot it is, but I want to write it just for the record. it is hot.
the plan was to climb the Sacra Di San Michele from Avigliana, then proceed to collect Braida and descend the other side. The climb starts easy, a 6% for 6 km. hot, but all in the shade, and regular. then, half way up, an illusive descent, then the hard part. 6 km at 9%, hot, never slowing down. and hot. so when I get to the Sacra, I don't feel like climbing the 2 extra km to the top, so I just go and enjoy the view, and come down the same way.
avigliana is a nice village close to a lake, but not facing it. so, the lake is surrounded by trees and restaurants and sail clubs. it could be nice, but it feels like they don't really know what to do with it.
