this Sunday we went for a stroll on the Pinon.
A beautiful sunny out in the company of very good friends. With me was Mark (who is training to defend second place we held last year at TAW), the Gaggio (dare I say it in a form dopata) and Federico (a certainty on the way).
get started with a premise that has cost me a question, albeit in a pleasant tone kept to a minimum, on another forum. This, in my opinion was not a trail but a pleasant ride in nature. Just the difference of these terms has opened a brief discussion that allowed me to write and express an idea more clear on the difference between the two.
Let's say, just to understand the nature of the race seen as the perfect cross between a trail and a road race. It is those roads, but always with limited vehicular traffic, although whether asfalto e con svariate presenza urbane lungo il percorso, che portano un buon impegno fisico e muscolare (un po' di pendenza insomma) che sono "lontane" dai centri urbani ma che sono completamente immerse nel verde. Sinceramente qualcuno storgerà il naso ma che ci posso fare? può leggere un altro blog più senziente del mio ^_^
Il giro del Pinone è questo tipo di via di mezzo, sicuramente ben più vestito di un'impronta Trail rispetto a corse come l'Eco di vald'Orcia ma comunque legata ad un'impronta molto urbanizzata e con strade (talvolta asfaltate o cementate) dove è facile trovarsi automobili o altri mezzi a motore.
intendiamoci, il giro l'ho proposto io quindi di stradaiolo aveva poco e nulla and landscapes that you could see were such as to overcome any lack, but it would be incorrect and exaggerated to call it trail.
The departure from the old town of Carmignano and ladders that is on grass, they brought in the top of the castle were a great start. And the view from the bridge of the castle was not bad.
Some stretches of asphalt and a steep descent on a dirt road then led us to attack the long, hard climb that leads to Pietramarina (the summit of Pinone)
a beam in asphalt, with panoramic views over olive groves and the plain Empoli We then took the intersection with the restaurant "Il Pinone" which began the descent, this absolutely TRAIL, to a nice group of houses in the countryside.
that peace and tranquility you could breathe in these hamlets and the warm sun that sent often veiled by the clouds ...
Another climb that skirts a lake, a shift in field-grown and then the last stretch with asphalt to reach the point of departure.
really nice ride, a great way to bring the trail Stradaioli to make the transition without trauma. Bella Bella is still beautiful ^___^
