August 29, 2021, Sù e giù da Firenzuola ⚪

Although I haven't touched a bicycle for a week and a half, I wanted to get my leg back in motion for a moment, rightly with only 111 km 😂 ... This morning it was incredibly COLD, so much so that I had to leave with an autumn jersey (which I took off after about 30 min) For the first 28km Alessia joined me, only afterwards she was forced to go back and went down from Gesso towards Fontanelice. But I didn't give up and continued with the whole tour. Arrived at the Raticosa I continue to Pietramala and go down to Firenzuola, fill the water bottles and look at the time, I realize that it was only 10.15 😳 (I was convinced that it would have taken a lot longer) So I shoot a non-stop sprint up to Imola and arrive perfectly at 12 ...

Descending from Firenzola towards Castel del Rio is really pleasant. Beautiful views and a gently sloping road that give you the chance to appreciate this beautiful valley

You cannot tell a trip in all its details.Today there was a bit of snow in the mountains with the sun and it was very beautiful.
