thursday i met up with an American named Brian, from Boulder CO., and we spent the afternoon/evening together; talking bikes, racing, life in italy, how he came to italy, the bike shop he and his wife are opening in ascoli.
his wife Titsiana (spellcheck), invited me to stay for dinner, so i ate with them and their two adorabel daughters.
then Friday brian and i rolled out of piazza aringo at 9am. climbed for an hour to Valle Castellana, and Cervarra (?), then descended what would be the equivalent of single-track for raod bikes.
sick switch backs that werent big enough for a toyota tacoma pick up truck. at one point, i crossed over in to the oncoming traffic lane for an apex and there happened to be there. we both jumped out of the way, i straightened up and darted right, and he put the side of his truck into the cliff wall so that we wouldnt collide.
then it just got more narrow and overgrown as brian and i started to bottom put the descent, to the point where we were riding over a once lane bridge with a canopy of trees four feet over my head!
i ahve to go to class, more to come after.
