All done!
.. and solved the problems with the keyboard rebel do a little guide of the short test ride nice and simple and without many participants .. in fact we were two, but more than a small and painless test ride was a real test worthy of the most challenging courses cicloturisici-ciclocrossistici!
The late departure at 8 preoccupation gave me and I was afraid to meet the usual crowd of cycling, fortunately Ben insisted and we had a few more hours of sleep, miraculously the path was empty-! yes, blank: no pedestrians, no runners, no cyclist as well as Ben and me. Blank so that at some point we have to be made to arrive at onto Abbiategrasso . Eager to ride we wanted to do another road and in the best tradition of the scouts went to "see what's out there" following a channel at random and ignoring the dark clouds on the horizon.
Between fields and canals, farmers and orchard we went as far as possible avoiding the broken asphalt and potholes. A sudden rain forced us to stay under a roof of a farmhouse, the ugly side of the farmhouse as the scent of manure wafting in the air was beautiful fermented .. Pedalando avevamo notato cartelli di forma e colore ricorrenti e ripartendo più per curiosità che altro ci siam fermati a sbirciare cosa ci fosse scritto: abbiam così scoperto di seguire un perscorso ciclopedonale turistico e incoraggiati dalle cartine dettagliate che ci informavano riguardo zona e punti di interesse abbiam proseguito.
Il tragitto è stato scorrevole almeno per me che avevo le mie fide ruotine con copertonicini da 23mm, un po' più pesante per Ben che aveva montato dei 28mm. Strade, traverse, ponti piccolipiccoli e chiuse, persino 3 uomini intenti a rimuovere la vegetazione che ostruiva uno dei filtri delle chiuse: canotta fluo di sicurezza + pantaloncino corto + stivalacci verdi in gomma "bollimi-i-piedi"... non li invidiavo.
Tra una chiacchera e l'altra raggiungiamo Bereguardo , bella cittadella che soleggiata appare serena e cordiale; uno sguardo al Castello della città e riapartiamo alla volta di Pavia.

Stradina carina quella che ci porta a Pavia : macchine veloci ma non troppo pericolose, campagna silenziosa e tante villette colorate. Pedaliamo e appena arrivati a Pavia badabùm! ..l'anteriore di Ben decide di prendersi un po' di riposo: pit stop necessario e torna alta la voglia di pedalare.
-All done! -What do we do? "Where are we? -Where do we go?
stock of the position we set off for the Ticino: did we get here, let's see it, no?

lucky and we reach the Ponte Vecchio in the direction of Borgo Ticino .
Pause to gather enough energy and food and return to the Ponte Vecchio by asking the question: -What do we do? scorgamo a sign behind a fence similar to those that have condoto in Pavia and soon the decision is made: it starts to time Vigevano follow the paths along the river and everything will be simple and quiet.
In fact, the beginning is not evil and inspires us. In short we are along the river following a trail of white clay and gravel that will become quite fun our way.

Up to House Venara we are still in the known world but then the forest of the Park of Ticino envelops us and there are no maps that show clearly the path. We remain
only we witness the journey into nature through mud, stones, roots and .. sand. Deal with the wheels smooth & subtle and a ratio of 3 is not easy and without training would probably not even a bike with the right cards.
whole trip becomes based on their strength of will. One of my holes, woods and paths, rice paddies and fields, hawks, white storks, herons .. following a path much longer than the planned 30km we were able to meet the nature totaling 155km incredibly laid at least 50 through the almost-wild green park.
.. and I came back the urge to take a trek through forests I go to prepare backpack:)
