Lauantai 8.7.2017 klo 0.57 On muuten ollut just täydellinen maaseutumökkiluontohyttysloma täällä Nessossa. Ettei tartte enää Suomessa kaupungista poistua laisinkaan. klo 10.33 8.7.2017 0930 +27C 1m/s SW klo 11.22 Saying goodbye to the lake of Como. Returning to Finland for the 2nd half of our holidays. klo 12.31 The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Perjantai 7.7.2017 klo 9.29 7.7.2017 0825 +25C 1m/s NE klo 9.34 Our 2nd summer home in Nesso. The largest oldest hotel, Locanda Tre Rose. Comfortable old house with friendly staff. Good restaurant, great views over the Lake Como. Right opposite the bus stop. Old world comfort. Hercule Poirot could well stay here. klo 10.56 The bicycle is already a musical instrument on its own. The noise of the bicycle chain, the pedal and gear mechanism, the breathing of the cyclist. 104th breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +24C sun klo 11.59 Cincin! First month of vacation over, second one beginning. Time flies, drinks are cold and delicious, mountains steep and fitness improving. Lovely, indeed. klo 16.05 On perjantai-iltapäivä. Lämpötila on noin 30 astetta. Ei pilviä. Olen lomalla. En ole sairas. Kukkarossa on ropoja. Baari on auki. Porttikieltoa ei ole. Kumpaankaan baariin. En keksi yhtäkään syytä lykätä paikallisen juomasekoituksen nauttimista tämän pidempään. Johan...

Torstai 6.7.2017 klo 9.32 6.7.2017 0820 +24C 1m/s N klo 10.29 The man controls the bicycle yet the bicycle enables the man to travel faster and further than he otherwise would be able - and to improve his physique. Both man and machine realise their potential together, working in harmony. And for a group concerned with modernity and progress, one feature of the bicycle is critical: it cannot go backwards. 103rd breakfast and coffee in cafe in 2017 // +24C sun klo 12.40 There is not much extra space either inside or outside the bus. Even driving a Bentley does not help: one must yield to a bus. klo 12.45 Rest day. No cycling. No walking. Just idling. Maybe a beer or some frizzante white wine. A nap. Then another. klo 14.37 Sirkku (@pedalling_philosopher) resting & recovering under mapletrees in nesso, hotel Tre Rose. klo 20.53 I wish everyone a very happy evening. Have a glass of prosecco and chill out! Created by Claude from Mane's Facebook and ...

Maanantai 3.7.2017 klo 10.19 We are about to leave this cottage and move to a hotel here in Nesso. I will miss this place a lot. 3.7.2017 0916 +23C 1m/s N klo 11.21 Last panoramic picture from our balcony here in Nesso. We will move to hotel Tre Rose in the center of the village. Exciting! I am quite sure we will return to this lovey cottage soon. klo 13.02 The views are still magnificent. klo 19.33 Our hotelroom is rather small, but our bathroom is large enough for bicycle storage. klo 19.38 We moved to the Tre Rose hotel. We cannot cook by ourselves anymore, so we let the chefs cook for us. Delicious light food. Healthy even. Lovely time with Sirkku! Created by Claude from Mane's Facebook and Instagram posts.

Sunnuntai 2.7.2017 klo 9.21 Perfect holiday continues. So lovely. 2.7.2017 0818 +20C 1m/s N klo 10.35 Some locals are out cycling already at 9am. We are having our no coffee on our balcony in nesso lombardy italy. Soon we go riding as well. klo 11.29 Before cycling I like to go hiking up and down a mountain.

Rather steep climb with many kilometers of 10%+ and no downhill for resting. @ Osservatorio Astronomico Sormano 1142m. Climb 900m, very steep. klo 19.42 Voimareeni: Sirkun perässä 15km ja 900m ylös vuorta 1,5 tunnissa isolla vaihteella ja 30-40rpm kadenssilla ja alle 130 keskisykkeellä (noin 14bpm alle aerobisen kynnyksen). Noin 3000 toistoa per jalka. Jos nyt ei voima kasva, niin ei sitten millään. Tämmöistä harkkaa ei k...

Lauantai 1.7.2017 klo 10.02 1.7.2017 0900 +20C 1m/s S klo 10.22 Just joo. Ollaan Italiassa heinäkuun eka päivänä ja kämpässä on aamulla alle 16C lämmintä. Yöllä hyttyset kiusaavat. ukkosta ja sadetta. Yhtä hyvin voisimme olla Suomessa. Ehkäpä tämä on Sirkkun pitkään kaipaama mökkiloma. Maisemat ovat yhä ok. klo 15.12 One of the best lunches ever. After 2.5 hours climbing up and down ancient paths in the mountains. Perfect food, best wines and decent views over lake Como. And with Sirkku of course. klo 18.27 I met a small horse - a pony - along stradaregia near nesso lombardy italy.. klo 19.07 klo 22.57 Turisti testaa, alustavia tuloksia. Jos juo lounaalla putelin hyvää venetolaista pinot grigio-viiniä ja kunnon siemaukset ravintolan omatekemää sitruunalikööriä, niin ei kannata päiväunien jälkeen klo 19 lähteä polkemaan ylös 8-10% vuorenrinnettä. Ylöspäin menee ihan hyvin, mutta alamäessä iskee infernaalinen kaatumispelkotila. Vaikka tulos ...
