Km 62, 4:20 a.m.-time, total ascent 695 m, 10 bikers. These are the numbers of out wonderful Sunday. 8 o'clock this morning a pale sun, and a bitterly cold, but we bikers are not afraid at all and go! Ostuni, Cisternino!, We come finally to Ostuni and dirt! skirt the archaeological park, the dirt is Isis, we must be careful because the rains of the previous days have dug furrows in the soil!, but we keep quiet, often ahead of Donato's pull up that shows off the new wistle and he really wants to ride! the sun is highest becomes less cold, but we think the puddles and mud to remind us that it is still winter and we in January. Filiamo together till the first real climb of the day, turn left and in the midst of a landscape of ancient olive groves we start the ascent towards Cisternino, now that we are hot, as a group does not speak any more, this is a sign that we're really uphill climb at a good pace and got up, finally we see that we're all here and we should not wait for anyone, dark angel has improved a lot, given the new bike flies!. we return to Ostuni, and perhaps get the most beautiful stretch of the route, a single trak just below the hill, with a tear in the initial 19%, single trak is really nice you have to be truly masters of their medium, often space to put the wheels really little!, after a bit of uphill, downhill and a good jump is a reminder that the fun is over! few hundred meters and we are on the asphalt. But today, instead turn right continue on the asphalt, a big beautiful white Maremma reminds us that we are in his farm, in this case, better to stay in the middle of the group usually eat the first or last in line!. skirt the farm climb over a gate, and we are in the midst of grazing cows, at the foot of the hill, a really nice postcard. We manage to find the exit by climbing a wall, and after a few meters, we enter into another single trak really beautiful but unknown to us, the first rooms in the woods, and then descends steeply, beautiful Back in Training!. Now we return in earnest, and both me and Anthony are stranded by a puncture, fortunately there are the holy cans! we share, Ostuni and then earned washing our bikes. 12:45 pm all at home.
See you next Sunday!
