I cigli delle strade non puliti (che impediscono la visuale) e l&#8217;accumulo di terriccio con foglie depositato dalle forti piogge quasi sempre nel centro delle curve.<br \/>Quindi, in questa prova, il clima incide molto sui tempi di percorrenza, le sue variabili imponderabili diventano qui determinanti per terminare entro i tempi dati.<br \/> Altri dettagli per\u00f2 possono influire sul risultato, mettete per esempio che nel secondo Check point il bar abbia la toilette al primo piano e l&#8217;unico modo per raggiungerla sia un ascensore lentissimo.<\/font><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"><br \/><!-- s9ymdb:112 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" style=\"border: 0px none ; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"\/blog\/uploads\/P1000032.jpg\" \/><\/font><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\">Se nei casi urgenti questo pu\u00f2 diventare un incubo, nei casi normali ci vogliono almeno cinque minuti abbondanti per risolvere il problema.<\/font><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\">Bene, per farla breve, siamo giunti a met\u00e0 <\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\">percorso, poco prima di Bagni di Lucca, avendo bruciato i due terzi del nostro tempo a <\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans serif\">disposizione, rimanevano 100 km di montagne da percorrere in un\u2019ora e un quarto. Impossibile. Fine del Challenge.<br \/>Il bilancio \u00e8 comunque assolutamente in attivo perch\u00e9 la luce, la temperatura, le strade deserte erano un regalo perfetto.<br \/>Rimane un punto: i sei adesivi saranno sufficienti per i prossimi tre anni?<\/font><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"#ff3300\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" \/>\n<p align=\"justify\" \/>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\" color=\"#ff3300\">English text below<\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"><br \/>Saturday, June 14<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"><br \/>On Friday I received the precious stickers Extreme: they were only eight, one is dedicated to the archive, they\u00a0 remain some six.<br \/>I told myself, it will have to only deliver them to first, namely those who arrive with the maximum time, according to the rules.<br \/>Saturday at 14:30, at Candeglia the road was deserted, the bar Rossella silent, the young couple who runs it was at lunch or who knows where and the old grandmother even unable to lower the levers of &quot;faema&quot;.<br \/>A day of late\u00a0 February came in June.<br \/>These are the preconditions of the extreme: two the departing bikers.<br \/>\u00a0Sixteen degrees and\u00a0 clouds loaded with rain could disappoint anybody but not a rainmen.<br \/>Wrong: the Extreme is not a difficult ride, it is really extreme.<br \/>Two hundred and twenty kilometers in five hours means 44 kilometers per hour, not considering the three stops at the Check Points.<br \/>Roads, although beautiful (and say that I know), are narrow and with variables that\u00a0 would not be taken into consideration in a normal tour.<br \/>Two examples? The edges of the roads not cleaned (that prevent visual) and the accumulation of soil with leaves deposited by heavy rains\u00a0 always in the center of the curves.<br \/>So in this challenge, climate affect much on journey times, its variables imponderables here become crucial<br \/>\nto finish on time data.<br \/>Other details, however, may influence the outcome, for example, put that in the second check point the bar has a toilet on the first floor and the only way to achieve it is a slow elevator.<\/p>\n<p><font><\/font><\/p>\n<p>If in urgent cases this can become a nightmare, in normal cases it takes at least five minutes each to solve the problem.Well, in order to make it shorter, we arrived at Midway, just before Bagni di Lucca, having burned the two thirds of our time, remained 100 km of mountains to go in an hour and a quarter. Impossible! The budget is absolutely in surplus because light, temperature and roads were desert and solitary: a perfect gift.<\/p>\n<p>End of Challenge.<\/p>\n<p><\/font><b><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>di Filippo Fantoni Sabato 14 Giugno Venerd\u00ec ho ricevuto i preziosi adesivi Extreme: erano solamente otto, uno \u00e8 dedicato all&#8217;archivio, ne rimangono 6.
