year for various reasons we could not organize the tour opening, but the passion and desire to be together on our bikes was the best. We left it with no goal, the only sure thing was that we wanted to do a lot of folds ... and we made!
typically found to be 6.00 Viator, with Charles, as usual, is late! The only thing different, and unfortunately bad news is that the group of Sausages is not complete. Lucas Diesel had to forfeit (not a few commented with "scabs" ...) for work, Alberto absent due to theft bike, Santini ... not reached, Rock, Zino and Massimo have preferred to opt out and go other places ...
At 6.40 Stefano "Stefanini" , Carlo "track" , Marco "Last" , Marco "French" , Delphi, Guido (and great comeback !!!!) I "the Bull" go! We head Tarcento and via Cividale, we reach Villa Santina: away with the folds!!
The morning slips away loose a thousand, a thousand folds more or less soddisfracenti, gas vents, overtaking, jokes via intercom .... There is, as usual, the spirit that Sausage pernea our exits. As custom, the first meal is made with salami, cheese, pickles and several batters! There fermaimo Falzarego the shade of large pine so much so that after a while 'we forgive jackets because it is so hot!
After an hour we're back in the saddle to our bikes and then to Bolzano Merano Forst assigned to the inevitable! We arrive at the pub after enduring the scorching heat and annoying traffic for this area and, needless to say BEER!
We sit there and watch the second half of Brazil and the Netherlands comes the first round of beers accompanied by a basket of pretzels. Time 5 minutes and ... second round of beers with two chickens and a plate of sausages! Goal!! Netherlands 2, Brazil 1 ... one can not drink a beer !!!!!!!!
ends the game and run better because there is no room for the night (luckily, because it would end badly!). We decide to follow the directions of Delphi that aims to lead the group.
arrive at Certosa, a village in the Val Senales.
We find a place to sleep in a hotel with Well ... LESS!!
does not matter, as usual reigns joy mixed with the tranquility to be arrived.
We wash and prepare for dinner. We end up on a farm where they make only cold dishes with bacon, cheese, bread and ... beer!
After dinner we retire to our rooms for a well earned rest.
We wake up early at 8.30 and we are all ready to have breakfast waiting for us to reach Luke Pier and from Pegognaga, in the province of Mantua, my dear friends, come together for the first time the Sausage! At 9.00 am with us.
It was decided to leave and allows choosing democratically to do Reschenpass, arriving in Austria, Switzerland and in return to go in Italy, Livigno cross and visit the new website of the International Stelvio motorcycle rally. The road offers stunning scenery with bright colors, a green lawns incredibly bright blue lakes the color of which gives an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat should be cold water! We arrived in Bormio and ... What a disappointment! There is nowhere that one thousandth of what it was the Stelvio International. There are four stalls selling clothing and motorcycle a mini stand offering chicken and chips ... even the shadow of pizzoccheri !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After lunch we take on the climb Stelvio. As the road is not the best for the bike, but the landscape it offers is unique! It goes from mountain meadows to the deep-sterile plants: there is a waterfall that is scary, so is the amount of water and the force with which descends to the valley, creating clouds of steam all around! Salim and we are still in the snow, it's cool, feeling the heat after stuenda of Merano. Arriaviamo at the top and expect the group back together as we watch with wonder the lunar landscape that surrounds us on the other of its 3,000 meters above sea level.
begin the descent with its endless curves and stop at a bar in Prato Stelvio to rest before returning to all'alergo to enjoy the well-LESS.
the evening we rented a taxi to a noisy parade that, according to the owner of the hotel, is the event of the year in Val Senales. We reach the festival that takes place in a fenced site on the edge of the road in a forest and prepare to taste the local specialties, but .... for the occasion were only hot dogs and grilled steak with fries, but the beer Forst ... and be it!
We think, no matter if At least we will see the entire population of the valley ... but it is not. There will be around a hundred people, two of 115 volunteers at the end of the evening will be filled with more of us! There are three or four sigonori about fifty people to the grid and then the rest of boys and girls aged 14 to 16 more or less uninhibited and the filter!! Alcohol witnessing scenes that are at least unusual in our country. We see here that you use it!
one o'clock it's time to return to the hotel to rest.
Wake up, breakfast and so we say goodbye to Luke and Peter falling into the house and we head for Austria: step by step Rolle and stables where we stop for lunch with ... salami and cheese.
It feels a little 'tired but there are the jokes: they laugh and joke a bit' of everything.
Party and ... and Delphi? Delphi is gone! I try to call the phone but I can not be contacted. With a little bit 'of concern, but we leave after a few kilometers in Austria, we had to stop to put on rain suits, suits that take away (thankfully) after ochi minutes.
After almost 50 km we find that Delphi will meet the group.
decide to take a secondary road, because the asphalt is not perfect, is nicknamed by the Stefanino "Stikazzen Pass" that there leads to the foot of the Passo di Monte Croce Carnico! We stopped to rest before facing the last step together and to enjoy those few minutes that remain Sausage before returning home.
reached Tolmezzo declare closed the tour and we salute those who (Guido) fearless and tireless until he decides to continue at home on the streets. The rest of the group, almost on its last legs, and decides to take the highway, each on its own motion, driving into the sunset. Until next time friends
Sausages!
