The first two photos are of ascoli; one is taken from the foot bridge that connects Fortezza Malatesta to Porta Maggiore; the second is a house on a back street, non-descript, just like so many others around here.
The second group of three are from my Ceppo Ride (see other posts for description of this hellish climb); they are taken after the descent from Ceppo when you start to drop back drop to the level of Valle Castellana; they are looking over the hills of Abruzzo, which are more hilly and less craggy and jagged like Le Marche.
The next two are of goats. yes, goats. i rode through a pack of goats on the climb up to Ceppo.
The final three are of Guilianova. they were taken from the Guilianova Alta, where the Centro is, because down by the beach it looks like Hampton Beach and SanBennedettoDel Tronto.
here are fotos that i have taken recently but hevent posted.
camera use has become less frequent b-c... well there's no good reason.
the only thing i can think of, and this is rather sad but, alot of the beauty around here has faded into the background for me.
also, when you are on a climb, taking a beating from the rugged, hill country that is Le Marche, you dont usually want to stop and snap photos, in essence taking longer to make a 25 - 45 km climb.
but any ways, these are some of the most recent rides that i've done. which are not many.
ive been off the bike for about ten days and am sure that Mercoledì Mondiale will dish out an ass-kicking and a half today.
