Here’s the story of a lovely trip along two valleys and around two lakes. Iseo Lake is known to be very popular during this time of year for couples and even for weddings. The lake of Iseo has several villages that are meant to be the perfect setting for a romantic movie. OK, I won’t get too cheesy, since I travel with a friend rather than a lover, but I do think we sometimes need a bit of romance in our lives.
Do you have a Gravel bike? “Why don’t you attend more gravel events and competitions?” someone asked to me once. I don’t know, I’m not really intrigued by big events and I don’t like competition at all. However I should say that the organisation and also the atmosphere of Gravel Sul Serio has nothing to do with a competition and it turned out to be a very good way to discover the roads and paths along the banks of the Serio river.
This was my first Sella Ronda bike day, which was instead at its 15th edition. From 8.30 in the morning until 3.30 pm the circuit was barred to traffic, only cyclists could go through and enjoy the Sella circuit without suffering the smelly exhaust gases and the constant sound of car engines.

About 3 weeks ago the new “Ciclovia del Sole” it has been opened between Osteria Nuova and Mirandola on the Bologna – Verona line. A perfect opportunity to go out and try the new connection which, with some detours, allowed us to take a 3-day tour on cycle paths for 80% of the Bologna-Bologna trip.
A weekend to remember, while in Milan it was running Milanese Randonee for 120km on the average route, which I would have thought it was too much for myself. I learned once again how having a comfortable bike (like mine!), saving little energies on the way and looking beyond the horizon may be worth more than the strength you think you have or the training you have achieved.
A tour that I would like to recommend to those who live not too far away, a good alternative to the more demanding climb of Pian della Mussa in cold seasons.
Can a bicycle makes our life happier, such a simple thing can really be so important in our daily life? Can a bicycle be a solution for new sustainable mobility, but also for a sustainable new lifestyle?
I wanted to go to the sea from Bologna, but I was afraid it would have been boring, flat and boring. Instead, I’ve chosen a different road, going through Regional Po Delta Park and towards Comacchio Valleys.
I’m thinking with nostalgia about those cycle lanes I love to ride in winter, going around lakes, along seashores andContinue Reading
The Langhe is a mixture of hills and vineyards that alternate with castles and historic villages connected by roads that rise and fall embracing a unique landscape. Perfect place for a autumn cycling holiday.
