Perjantai 30.6.2017 klo 9.50 30.6.2017 0847 +18C 1m/s NE klo 18.38 After 50km easy riding, a thunderstorm caught us. Fortunately, we were near a harbour, in bellagio, and could take a#boat back home in nesso. No cycling in thunderstorm, I assume. klo 20.00 Viinakset ovat Como-järvellä purjehtivissa laivoissa halvempia kuin järven rantakaupunkien baareissa.

Aivan uusi homma minulle ja myös Kuntarahoitukselle, joten jännää tulee olemaan molemmilla! Viimeiset 3,5 vuotta konsulttihommissa Codentossa ovat olleet hienoja opettavaisia hauskoja, mutta pankkimaailman kutsua pääarkkitehdiksi ei käynyt vastustaminen. Kiitos kaikille kollegoilleni Codentoss...

Lauantai 24.6.2017 klo 0.34 If you ever find yourself in Saronno (e.g want to visit Como and not to spend a fortune on accommodation), make sure to have dinner in Il Passerotto. Very local Milanese food. Perfectly prepared. Immaculate service. More than decent wines. We had e.g. risotto Milanese, marinated small fish, a selection of local meats, etc. klo 10.00 24.6.2017 0840 +25C 2m/s E 9th klo 10.24 A secret recipe for a happy marriage is having common interests, especially cycling literature philosophy and traveling - our 9th anniversary 100th breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +28C sun klo 11.50 An italian zebra crossing - where does it lead?

Torstai 22.6.2017 klo 8.28 22.6.2017 0725 0m/s W klo 9.47 Traveling today. No cycling, not much walking either. But a good breakfast in Cafe Sol is still appropriate. 98th breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +25C sun klo 10.31 Despite the record breaking heat wave and temperatures up to 37C in shade, I have only spent 6 hours in air conditioned spaces during the last 12 days. I think air conditioning is way overrated. One can easily manege without as long one is healthy and sensible. klo 20.24 Sirkku has arrived. We are in Saronno, having the traditional Sambucas. klo 23.52 Amaretto di Saronno. In Saronno. On a rather warm evening. With Sirkku Created by Claude from Mane's Facebook and Instagram posts.

Keskiviikko 21.6.2017 klo 0.21 Tomorrow, we will ride! No matter how steep the climbs or how hot the weather. klo 8.46 21.6.2017 0743 +22C 1m/s SE klo 9.13 A major ride today. Last day in Girona this time. Will be back soon. 97tj breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +22C sun klo 12.14 On the road. klo 14.47 clara (radler) sin alcohol - very refreshing after a 5 hours (including a coffee break, 110 km, 30-36C) ride around the countryside near Girona. klo 16.58 After 5 hours and 110km in the sun and up and down hills, it is time for a late lunch. At Bistrot, a very local and traditional restaurant in Girona. They even have air conditioning here. Perfect. Macaroni casserole. Grilled tuna. Fruit salad klo 17.48 A nice lunch at Bistrot. I was the last customer. The service was very quick... klo 22.47 Last day in lively and lovely girona - I hope I can move here again for few months in not so distant future. Tomorrow I will fly to Milan and meet ...

Tiistai 20.6.2017 klo 9.46 20.6.2017 0845 +25C 1m/s S klo 10.33 Never underestimate the importance of a good breakfast. 96th breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +26C sun klo 11.46 An insulated bidon (water bottle) for cycling in heatwave. A gift from splitstream sports. Works well! klo 13.36 Some difference. Both places not quite perfect for cycling just now. But Girona is somewhat better still. klo 15.28 I have to admit: it is too hot for cycling. I tried to ride slowly, but my body says NO. It is 36C, humid, full sunshine. I am not able to generate any power, just sweating and suffering like a roasted bear. (26km, 1h0min, average bpm 118) Sometimes it may be wisest just to give up. klo 18.51 What a lazy afternoon.

Maanantai 19.6.2017 klo 8.43 19.6.2017 0745 +21C 1m/s E klo 9.03 Yet another great day of cycling, fiendship, sun and vacation is about to begin. In Girona. 95th breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +22C sun klo 14.28 After 2 hours and 50km in the sun it is time to have lunch and non-alcoholic beer. Nice easy ride organized by Eat Sleep Cycle bikeshop. It is still quite warm. My garmin said 38C when riding into girona. I have, however, acclimatized quite well. My heart rate is at least 20bpm lower than it was a week ago (resting heart rate again below 50bpm in the morning, below 60bpm during a coffee break while sitting in a shadow of a tree at 33C), klo 15.38 Finally I got my Garmin stats from the Els Angels hill climb. Rather steady effort right at my anaerobic threshold (172bpm) or a bit above. I could not have ridden the climb much faster, maybe 10-20 seconds or so at most. I was also able to increase my effort at the very end, so I did not explode or cook my...

Sunnuntai 18.6.2017 klo 10.02 A rest day. Some easy cycling in the evening, but otherwise not attempting to do anything fancy or significant. I am on vacation! 18.6.2017 0900 +28C 1m/s NE klo 11.16 This is how a vacation Sunday begins. With coffee, omelette, literature and nothing to do. 94th breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +27C sun klo 13.12 Another lovely sunday in girona - having my third cut of coffee at Terra. klo 14.23 The best means for recovering from cycling : literature beer (0%), newspaper and warm weather (33C) klo 16.50 I do agree with Mike's summary on this week's loveliness. Will definitely come back in 2018, if not earlier. And I will stay here for a few more. I cycling paradise on Earth.

Lauantai 17.6.2017 klo 8.45 17.6.2017 0740 +23C 1 m/s NE klo 9.04 It has been and still is the warmest June in Girona since 1911. Oh well. Today, we will ride. Slowly. Easy does it. klo 16.03 The Girona Gran Fondo completed. It was very nice, with friends. The last 60km the temperature was over 38, at some very steep hills it was 42C. Definitely one of the hardest efforts ever for me. Riding average speed 26,3km/h. There were 4 mandatory stops. 1500m climbed. At least 7 liters of water. Now taking it easy. And some beer. Enough with water. klo 20.04 Some tapas with lots of salt for recovery. Tapas and beer 5€. At Vadevins, a longstanding favorite of mine. Created by Claude from Mane's Facebook and Instagram posts.
