My usual route is to go up the east bank of the River Piave until just south of Vas, cross a rather rickety bridge, and use a side road until it meets the very busy road west of the river. However signs soon told me that the tunnel on my favoured road was closed...I opted to see if the side road around the tunnel (cyclists only) was open but sadly it too was closed....so I added an extra km or 2 to the trip which was silly since there was a raging head wind of reportedly 12kph gusting to 28kph.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So what I had to do was use the less favoured road and fight both the traffic and the head wind all the way til the road bent to a more east/west direction. It was scarey and especially when I rode across the rather long bridge across the river with a howling gale pounding me on my right side and pushing me into the traffic.

I got to the station, as usual ridiculously early and on finally walking onto the platform saw that the train was to be 15 mins late. then 25,35,55 and finally 70 mins late! The platform got more and more crowded but when another train arrived..going the other way, suddenly I was almost the only person waiting.....me and 2 others. Felt a bit spooky! </p><p>So, 70 minutes late this high speed super fast train finally arrived and I was 3 or 4 loooong carriages out of place and so had to run in order to get to THE place where my bike had a reserved place. Haven't run that far for ages! All good though. Had a coffee in the restaurant car and at Trento retrieved the bike and set off to buy a ticket for the local line to Levico terme where I had decided to stop for a 2 day rest.</p><p>I had again to run for the train as it was just about to leave...although I did manage to delay it as I sprawled inelegantly into the carriage cutting my leg, bruising my hand and bleeding all over the place! Sono arrivata! I said...I have arrived!...and then told the officials not to worry about my leg...not the first time and wont be the last!!...my Italian has definitely improved!</p><p>Day 5 and 6</p><p>Hotel Cristallo was again great although the room where I was had what has to be THE worst pillows ever. </p><p>I did a ride on the second day towards Pergine Valsugana and later saw a parade of people wearing Imperial period clothes. Apparently Levico was where the Imperial court used to "take the waters" and so has a strong link with the Hapsburg dynasty. It was actually on the Austro Hungarian empire border with Italy before the post WW1 dismantling of that empire and consequently is surrounded by protective forts.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8z2SgOKNgJgETra5YkmtP9jJhyB_-s3jJi4ksadnAsVLXJSPs35EM74axaVfW197NVt2qKNoqNBeAoLDPNoc00lv8P40kysY9jyKvHsE2NFH-hIO_XSu_u3xYbDZMJUMfqP21SlKw8RUmbGMWaw7RI4xJkt4lyqmjdl8YHY-tr8XsYy0RYh7uuJHkdQ/s512/drummers.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8z2SgOKNgJgETra5YkmtP9jJhyB_-s3jJi4ksadnAsVLXJSPs35EM74axaVfW197NVt2qKNoqNBeAoLDPNoc00lv8P40kysY9jyKvHsE2NFH-hIO_XSu_u3xYbDZMJUMfqP21SlKw8RUmbGMWaw7RI4xJkt4lyqmjdl8YHY-tr8XsYy0RYh7uuJHkdQ/s320/drummers.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHf_g9V3gShANdJAXHZc4J5pMGt7a8oeJB-VycguezKibpAgm0Jt8kFeuD8AQQLss72XbCdw9OSj09yeB8E0kKsJn1bhBM6ZZp_Kj335GS-PjzghshrOrII82neg6H5hhZdVa1iS6GFmpujzWGZFxufbvuYZIes3xMNCh_H4yfouQxpYv4f6_ix15kiw/s512/ladies.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHf_g9V3gShANdJAXHZc4J5pMGt7a8oeJB-VycguezKibpAgm0Jt8kFeuD8AQQLss72XbCdw9OSj09yeB8E0kKsJn1bhBM6ZZp_Kj335GS-PjzghshrOrII82neg6H5hhZdVa1iS6GFmpujzWGZFxufbvuYZIes3xMNCh_H4yfouQxpYv4f6_ix15kiw/s320/ladies.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Day 7</p><p>The next day I took a final train back to Primolano...slogged up 2 nasty hills, did the washing and vowed to have a few days' rest before doing that again!

I was happy with what I'd packed although I had to beg a bandaid for my wounded leg from the receptionist at Levico...yet another reason for them to remember me next time! I washed my clothes in the shower each day and they dried overnight.

Yesterday I needed to buy quite alot of food and drink so using the bike was not an option.....so I walked down, shopped and then walked back up again much much more slowly! I've done this walk 3 times now and each time I've been offered a lift ...this time it was on the way down so I declined saying it was my training..ie 10,000 steps. And despite what I was told all those years ago I did accept 1 offer and that was 'cos it was on the way up and it was raining.</p><p>Well better get going..just a medium length ride today with no mega climbs as I don't want to fall in a heap fitness wise from over doing the long hard rides.</p>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07323703412694643324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182220397581479700.post-25786222279854214782022-06-11T21:32:00.000+10:002022-06-11T21:32:07.653+10:00Italy 2022 version<p> My home from now till mid August....Mellame...about 3km uphill (6-9% climb)from the delightfully named Arsie' and a further 15km from the nearest big town, Feltre. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJcCfZTzV6Rwi3F3qU7bY8vys_NO7TkifZqY1so7Z7l83JYGKr3MS-fySyANgtFNN9FKZxJ4Swe1Y7HkmXl7VSjPgVVVMowxieVq2MhYTRQ28RICmtpmoNbVZjyq6Ef671y9PQybme7CZgc9Xf-R6hSGcK5KRYokEqgFb7Vpg7wlNa0wgRRRgfxgqm3w/s925/mellame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="694" data-original-width="925" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJcCfZTzV6Rwi3F3qU7bY8vys_NO7TkifZqY1so7Z7l83JYGKr3MS-fySyANgtFNN9FKZxJ4Swe1Y7HkmXl7VSjPgVVVMowxieVq2MhYTRQ28RICmtpmoNbVZjyq6Ef671y9PQybme7CZgc9Xf-R6hSGcK5KRYokEqgFb7Vpg7wlNa0wgRRRgfxgqm3w/s320/mellame.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">view from my house...taken at about 5am!<br /><p><br style="text-align: left;" /></p></td></tr></tbody></table>The house is big so I rattle around in it somewhat and as it's for sale I have to keep it tidy in case someone wants to view it.

A couple of years ago we stayed in the house that's in the mid distance......one of the very few places we never want to go back to.....we had to keep our bikes in the garage and what was worse was that there was no hot water after about 10am!!!!! The hostess was a bit creepy and I didn't like it that she kept my passport for a few days. There are only 3 places we'd never go back to and the other 2 were more to do with location and mis-represented facilities.</div>

I baulked at an 11 euro each entrance fee and so we didn't go inside.<br />

We've had a few thunderstorms for the past few weeks but have only lost 1 day's ride due to weather and that was yesterday..it stopped late in the day so in order to at least get some exercise, I walked the 2km downhill (++) to Corvara to spend some money on clothes....the post shopping spree 2km uphill heave caused me to have very sore calf muscles. I bought 2 shirts, 3 prs of socks and 1 pr of cycling gloves. We've been trying to find an espresso cup representative of the area to add to Alex's collection with no luck at all despite the incredible amount of souvenir shops here.<br />

Our apartment here in Colfosco is really weird...it's on 2 levels..on entering you have a small kitchen on your left.. complete with a table, the stairs are straight in front of you, with enough room to park 2 bikes in the space underneath. Then upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, bathroom and a large lounge with table, settees, TV and a balcony. We cook and eat our evening meal in the kitchen but have brekky upstairs perilously carrying coffee and cereal up the stairs...as that's where our computer is(!). Only downside is that the shower is in the bath...but at least we're not on the third floor/41 steps (Castello Cabiaglio) this time or with an impossible bike climb to get to it (Bressanone) 😉<br />

Our apartment in Elvas..waaay above Bressanone..it's a bit quirky! but it has a pool. Bit of a drama on our last day here:...this from my FB page:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
drama # ? I finished my ride and got back to our apartment at about 2pm to discover water pouring from the fan in the ceiling of the bathroom! Naturally I called the owner who discovered the problem was that the elderly (she said ancient!) lady in the apartment above ours had left the taps on in her basin, comprehensively flooding the place. The owner told me her main worry was that when she went into the upstairs apartment she might find the elderly/ancient lady dead in the shower....!</div>

<br />
The area was fantastic for training..a mix of dead flat roads with a tail or head wind on the valley floor, undulating roads further up the side of the valley and a pass or two for really long climbs. Gunna hafta return. Our hotel was great, not too expensive with only 1 issue...there was only 1 mains socket which was occupied by the TV and we were a bit hampered by the lack of adaptors. The one in the bathroom only worked when the light was on....??<br />

Levico Terme wasn't on our original list but, as posted before, a host decided to gussump us without bothering to let us know so we had to do a hasty re-think. Actually probably a better location for us, truth be told!😎 Our apartment here is a bit small but at least we have somewhere at a time when most places are booked out.<br />

I got a bit lost on the way back..couldn't find the bike path in Borgo Valsugana ...a kind motorcyclist gave me instructions...however he told me to turn left at the "last set of traffic lights" 😁..and I knew they were the last set .....how......?<br />
<br />
Later in the day there was a very noisy thunderstorm but by that time both Alex and I were safe indoors.<br />
<br />
Sadly Alex's coffee maker has turned it's toes up so I guess we're off to find another one tomorrow..after all we have 3 boxes of Lavazzo capsules waiting to be used....Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07323703412694643324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182220397581479700.post-80722640591229105342019-07-05T20:32:00.000+10:002019-07-08T03:27:27.207+10:00Lombardia to TrentinoOur holidays to date have been .....eating, sleeping, training (and for Alex cough cough coughing) and dramas!<br />

Castello Cabiaglio...685 residents, 3 (!) churches , 1 bar/cafe, 1 restaurant, 1 holiday rental apartment block, 1 BnB but no castle. Many varied rides in the area..flattish, steep to very steep, undulating etc etc and a great place to stay out of Varese city, which for me is a place to avoid. It's also close to the AIS Europe centre and apparently Mitchelton Scott's headquarters<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Drama report!: culprit......me. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I was driving down a ramp into a supermarket's car park and was *perhaps* </span><span class="_5mfr" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 1px;"><span class="_6qdm" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tb0/1.5/16/1f609.png"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: contain; color: transparent; display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; height: 16px; text-shadow: none; vertical-align: text-bottom; width: 16px;">😉</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> following the car in front just a leeetle bit too closely and so didn't realise that I'd missed the supermarket's car park entrance and was driving into a private car park... Oooops! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I did a quick reverse but a barrier had gone down behind us and then a locked gate slid into place in front of us! We were trapped! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Panic..what to do??!! the 2 options were...either wait for another car to enter the private car park, thereby opening the barrier for us ...but hey, that could be a loooong wait or go and get help from the supermarket people. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Well...belts and braces...we did both (just as well I speak a bit of Italian eh!) and finally, probably 30 minutes later we were let out of prison..both by another car tripping the barrier and also by the supermarket people finding a key.......for my next trick?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">what a riot!..a bit angst making at the time...how long would we have to wait...so lucky there were 2 of us..so glad I could explain my plight to the non-English speaking security guard ....but afterwards..v funny.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Our apartment is on the 3rd floor so there was much climbing of stairs with a mega amount of gear and of course getting the bikes up and downstairs before and after each ride..but it's all good for fitness....I guess!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">No apartment is perfect...well not quite true..there have been 2..one in Cortina d'Ampezzo and 1 in Feltre but this one has an unusual problem..great set up with his and hers basins...but..gets a bit hard putting the contact lens in....!</span><br />

Plenty of training for me, but Alex has had a virus all week and so has missed out. Today we move from Mellame in the hills above Feltre to Castello Cabiaglio in the hills above Varese. We have a 4 hour drive alongside all the tourists doing exactly what we are doing.....being lemmings.<br />
<br />
I will miss watching the tree in the tower, but not the regular church bell ringing!!<br />

Our Castello accommodation is well know to us..it's the third time I've been there..the first time to check it out to ensure it was fine for the World Masters TT champs last year...it was! Because we are well known now we don't have to hang around waiting for our hostess to arrive..the side door will be unlocked as will our apartment.<br />

So once again..and with any excuse to have a mini rest, it was photo opp time...... On the way there and back I passed this cafe/restaurant where someone in the family spends the long winter hours carving wood and who also seem very determined that their parking place is for the parking cars of clients and not for anything else!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So yesterday was a bit wet ..what an understatement..it was pretty dramatic actually and so was declared a rest from the bike day....but I had to test my new Garmin (other one died) so I went out for a 20 min spin in a dryish spell which sadly and probably predictably quickly turned into a very wettish spell and I got soaked......despite it only getting really really wet for the final 5 minutes, I was a drowned rat. We even had to buy some newspapers to stuff in my shoes!<br />
<br />
Today there were blue skies and I went out for a long ride..77km..I was pretty ruined by the end..it's the longest I've done in over a year. But..any excuse for a pause and so here are a few pix and since the Giro d'Italia passed through Feltre twice there are naturally loads of pink pix...(the leader/winner gets to wear a pink jersey).</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After 5 weeks of long exhausting hours working for the Federal Election I am now over fat and under fit. A somewhat extreme example of the long hours is that on the last day of pre-polling I worked from 0730 until 23:45 and then started work the next day ... election day.... at 0700, finishing that day at 2230! The end result was only 1 day on the bike in those 5 weeks...BUT I didn't get sick. No touristy type places this year..just loads of training in an effort to be fit enough not to get dropped in the neutral part of the races in Austria!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year's itinerary is firstly in Italy..and all in the north of the country...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Feltre is again our hub and we are super grateful to Isabella and Silvio, our hosts there who have kindly allowed us to leave our extra stuff in their garage since last September.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I look forward to riding these particular roads again ( both photos borrowed from FB):</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After staying in Feltre for a while..well actually Mellame a very small village waaay above Feltre, our first stop is a return to Castello Cabiaglio in the Varese area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We're staying at the same place as last year which will allow me to return the scissors I managed to walk off with! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then we travel north and east to Brentonico, south of Trento a small town on the plateau above lake Garda..hopefully I'll learn where to place the accent on the place name..BrentONico or BrentoNIco..I suspect the former although even my Italian teacher wasn't sure, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then a bit further north to Kurtinig an der Weinstrasse, which is again a very small town, hopefully within reach of some decent rides, followed by Bressanone AKA Brixen , then into the Dolomiti firstly to Colfosco AKA <span style="background-color: white;">Calfosch(Ladin) and Kolfuschg (German)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-size: x-small;"> </span> and finally Moena (Moena/Moyen) before returning briefly to Feltre to pick up bike boxes etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then into the serious part of the hols... Hartberg for racing , Budapest 'cos we have a few spare days, Sankt Johann in Tirol for racing and finally Oudenaarde </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to ride the roads of the cobbled classics and also to visit WW1 sites and monuments...we've been there before but have decided a re-visit would be worthwhile. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year since I'm not taking my time trial bike we have a fair amount of luggage allowance to play with..we've just got to make sure we don't get tempted and pack the kitchen sink!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm leaving on a jet plane....will I manage a points upgrade again??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">more anon</span><br />

I'd have to say that I didn't really give Verona a chance as walking around in a humid 30 degree+ heat I soon lost the will to live. Juliet's house was swarming with people, Romeo's isn't open to the public.</div>

Long gone are the days when I could race every race provided for me...this week I only raced the TT and didn't do too well . I won my age class but in a rather slow time and felt really ill afterwards. We were last to start on what was a hot and humid day and the weather got to me. As my coach said..you were never really in it..never got started. Actually I felt sorta ok for the first 3 km, realised I was in strife by 4-5 km...slowly grinded up the hill and to the turn around, ok on the downhill then fell apart, having a coupla quiet chucks and needing to sit up and soft pedal for a while before finishing off apparently looking ok but going rather slowly.<br />

<br />
So now I'm having a few days off. We've left the cool of Austria for the heat of Italy again..grrh. I'm going to have to arrange some ice packs for the TT at Varese.<br />
<br />
Of course the moment I get home into Australian winter/spring I'll be groaning about being too cold...but right now I could do with a bit of cool!<br />
<br />
We left Austria a day earlier than planned and it was the right decision...the roads were packed and tomorrow will be worse, but at least we are over half way to Varese.<br />
