Eleventh stage of Ostrava - Bielsko Biala 59 km, running 3:37, 5:03 Total (from start to finish), Km Total: 1161.17
Today's stage was relatively short, but given the size of the city, I asked Paul to use the van and take me out for good.
I wanted to avoid the usual 20 km of elevated, tunnel and smog that often I had to sip out of the city.
Data in more than 40 km yesterday, I was morally right: I was not totally cheating.
So we get up later, we had a nice breakfast in the way of bars, the Stodolni
with a good cappuccino served by a lady who lived 7 years in Italy and therefore understood our comments on the curves of her maids. Continue reading »

Krakow, August 23, 2008
I write this report as a man arrived from Krakow.
In the last two days I did not just write, was only enough time to ride and maintain my vital functions (eating, drinking, breathing, download the mail ...).
So, from this apartment Karmelicka Street in Krakow, with a benevolent wireless, I am going to finish the trip online.
Tenth stage of Olomouc - Ostrava 142 km, running 7:42, 9:50 Total (from start to finish), Km Total: 1102.17

We took the "white roads" that have made us lengthen the course, then made even longer by the staggering number of works in progress. Continue reading »

August 19, Oloumuc, Czech Republic
Straznice ninth stage - 109 km Oloumouc, running 5:26, 7:02 Total (from start to finish), Km Total: 960.17
Claudio and Paolo ego masturbating each other with phrases like:
- "Today I did 65 km, what a good"
- "Oh, and I 71, shit, I'm a big."
Then degenerate into:
- "If I could I would have made 100"
- "Ultimately the company of Luke is not anything special."
In short, we can go home.
Anyway, my legs and even more heroic my heroic ass, led us to Oloumuc, in the heart of Moravia.
Poland is no longer far away. Continue reading »
