I always liked trial, for those of you unfamiliar wth this bike sport, a pic on the left shows what is about: basically with those tiny and essential bikes you jump, climb, cross  rocks  or whatever other natural (or artificial)obstacle. It’s all about concentration, focussing on the path to follow, it might appear very calm, not like watching motocross or 500 cc  but when in a few seconds you’ll see those guys jumping and doing it’s spectacular.
So today i took the chance to go and see a competition from the italian

championship that was quite close home (just a couple of hour away) by the mountain of Val Formazza, just a little above a scenic place that’s the cascate del Toce, a nice and impressive waterfall. that’s where the pic is from, it was fun and location perfect, maybe the zones were not too tough but i enjoyed the show, and well the sun was high at 1700m so right now my neck and arms up to the shoulders where i rolled up the sleeves of my t-shirt are plain red as a lobster.
