I always love to cycling and walking in Trentino on the Italian Alps near home. I remember when I was a little kid that looking outside my window the mountain were sprayed of a white snow... But in the last years somenthing looks changed.

Folgaria e Alpe Cimbra

Few months ago, through a facebook contest made by Hotel Villaggio Nevada of Folgaria, I won the chance to spend a week end riding fat bikes up on the Alpe Cimbra. I was really excited beacause Folgaria is a nice area one hour from my home but the last time that I was there was many year ago skiing with my family.

Have you ever cycle in Gran Canaria? Have you ever trained with a real pro cyclist?

Last week end I had the chance to take part at one of the most amazing experience that a normal cyclist as I am would like to do.

Polartec, the american company well known to make innovative fabrics for the biggest outdoor brands is now going more and more into cycling world. Their collaboration with Fundacion Contador Team founded by the legend of cycling Alberto Contador gives them the chance to test and experience on real cyclists new materials made just to be confortable in any kind of atmopheric situation.

Un elemento spesso sottovalutato da chi pratica sport è l'alimentazione. Per avere una buona forma fisica ed essere prestanti bisogna seguire dei semplici ma molto efficaci accorgimenti.

Lo sapete che una perdita del 2% di liquidi può portare a un calo delle prestazioni fino al 20%?

Quindi è davvero molto importante reidratare l'organismo durante l'esercizio fisico.

 It's the season of my "first times"!

Last time I told the story about my first gravel road challenge and my first time at the Vigorelli velodrome, now is the time to tell you about my very first L'Eroica.

I have been invited less than a month ago by Brooks England because I'm ambassador of the brand and I couldn't say another time "no" because normaly the first week end of October is very busy of any kind of events (Enduro World Series in Finale Ligure, Red Hook in Milan, etc...).

Has been a full on week end the past one where I've been in Milano as a cyclist for the very first time.

I actually went for a cyclocross singlespeed race few years ago at the Lambro park but this time I had the chance to live Milano as urban cyclist.

I come from a small city called Vicenza an the traffic can be congestes in the rush time, but most of the roads that I normally ride are pretty free from cars. Milan is caothic at every hour of the day: trafic lights, trams, roundabouts, railways, pavè...
