Top 5 Reasons to go on a Training Camp
1. MORE TIME TO TRAIN The first reason is quite obvious. You will ride your bike for many hours every day. You will do much more climbing than you do at home. Here in Sicily is never flat! You always go up and down so at the end of the day, when you will upload your data to strava, you will be impressed about that! 2. MORE TIME TO REST After the ride, during a normal day at home, you have to go to work or you have to go to do shopping or you have to take care of […]
Relationship with a cyclist: Shaved legs and implied fashion rules.
Relationship with a cyclist – freely translated from an article originally written by Signe Soerensen. My boyfriend enters the cottage’s terrace wearing tight black lycra from top to bottom. He is in a smart jersey from the popular Italian brand Castelli. With a cyclist ass packed under a chamois, he can almost compete with Kim Kardashian.

If it was not so then we were PRO riders and they simply don’t care if they are wearing a jersey full of logos, if they have to wear yellow fluo together with orange and dark green! In general there are simple rules that we like to follow when we go out cycling. Forgot the helmet at home? Just don’t ride the bike! Bib shorts must be black. Total black! We can tollerate navy blue. Never ever wear long pants with short sleeves jersey! Actually we […]
Cycling Across Sicily
I’m getting older (and even slower). In November 2018 I finally turned 40 and, thinking about me when I started racing and looking at triathletes of 39-44 category, is really strange. I thought: “they are old! they should stay home and think about something else”. But I found out that being slower gives you a different point of view when you are on a bike. Sicily is special in many ways. After 40 years of living here, I still discover hidden gems of beauty where the silence and the sound of your wheels is the only thing that you really […]
