This weekend I was in Switzerland for the IXS european cup on Monte Tamaro.
At the beginning I was travelling with my friends Die, Franz e Mario, but they had some problem with the federation fee, so I had to travel alone. No probs.
Friday I was at school for 8 - and I'll repeat it EIGHT hours because of our timetable, so I hadn't too much time to prepare the bags and backpacks so at soon as I arrived at home, I had prepared everything.
Saturday morning at 5am the alarm rang up, I had my breakfast and I was just ready for the car! Easy!
First song of the weekend? Clearence Clear Water Revival, On the road. I absolutely love this song and every time I hear it, it reminds me at the Tri-ride first video of the last wc in Maribor. It makes me feel like "Whoha! Let's start a new experience!"
The travel was pretty easy, two ours of music and relax driving to Rivera, the nearest village of the uplift.
I arrived at the parking and the weather was not the better you would for a downhill race. Pretty cloudy, windy and rainy, COOL!
Soon I met the friends of the team Biciaio; they're good friends: easy, funny, friendly (how many y i'm using today?? :D)
The practice session started at 8am, so there's not so much time to talk, so I started licterally climbing the mountain. As seams Champery, here the mountain is soo steep, and walking is not so easy.
The track was cool; it has steep and technical section with slippery roots and rocks that with every rider became worst and worster, between fast part where there was some useless mud...
Saturday morning was for the practice, and in the afternoon there was the qualifying round.
Nick Beer manage to get the first place, as his teammate Emilie Siegenthaler.
After the qualifying round, I started selecting the photos,while I was wating for the dinner, offered me by the Biciaio's friends (Thank u sooo much!!) and about the 9.30pm I was just sleeping in my car!
Soon the part 2!
Here, as usual, some photos of saturday!
