A second-hand pint? I hope the first was the brewer!

I own one of those tough, unkillable old beasts too—just show it a little maintenance love, and it'll treat you to an incredibly tasty morning.

Those mountains that embrace your gaze fill your mind and chase away gloomy thoughts... it's almost therapeutic!!! Where exactly are you based? I usually spend time around the Goriška region.

On Saturday, I raced in my first competition after almost 30 years of being inactive—a 44 km MTB marathon with 3,200 feet of climbing. Calling it tough is an understatement. I pushed like crazy for three-quarters of the race, and then spent the last stretch in survival mode without ever letting...

My beast, almost ready: Alfa Romeo Sprint Quadrifoglio Verde: Since it’s from the ’80s, I decided to complete it with this car stereo:

Malga Teglara, 1573 m slm in Val Tramontina

Yesterday I went for a mountain ride up to Kriz Saddle and then to the old military shelter, now an Alpini hut (the Italian mountain troops). Sadly, it was closed, so no chance to replenish my minerals with a big cold beer... 🍺 The climb starts on a narrow mule track through a nice cool little...

Group ride toward some Slovenian hills: Bitez, then on to Sveta Gora — mate. The water level at the Tolmin pond’s way too low — though honestly, I’d have skipped the dip anyway, given those bloody Siberian temperatures.

Today I’m out looking for an alternative little house, just in case a missile makes it over here too... Nice and spacious, it also has a beautiful view... On descents, the new fork seems to do its job. On the way back home, the GPS was flagging a ford crossing—I’m not so sure I trust it...

Grazie, se sei in zona domani ti offro un tajut!!!

Today I ride pre-birthday, tomorrow is 53... Turn in the forest of Tarnova (Slovenia), of course you could not miss the snow... The situation then got so much worse makes having to do a few kilometers in the high snow, sometimes slightly compact others extremely soft, so much so that you have...

About that consumption with the 2020 Giant Fathom E+2 (500 battery) I managed to make 37.8 km and 1020 of altitude difference. Do you use much assistance?
