Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did!

It's already 2 weeks that I got this skin allergy and after being to 2 differents doctors, I got told I need to be out of sun sight for something like 2/3 more weeks, which means no training/racing for that time.
Kewl..............

So Im here in the middle of a sad/upset feeling and I feel very empty.
I was starting to have a very good contidion and feeling confident for the next races and then...pff...cause of a stupid lotion I used during a race I got this allergy on my knees.

Anyway, I should ever watch on the positive side, right?

I've been told a dear friend of my mum have been found a tumor so I feel like my problem is actually nothing, just somthing very silly compared to what she's gonna face.

I guess yes as last time was almost 2 months ago.

Well, much happened; starting on the racing side, in the last 4-5 weeks I did 5 races, so that's a lot.
Today I was supposed to get my 6th season race but got some skin troubles on my legs, after using some lotion for my knee ligaments. T.T
So...hope to recover quickly in the next 3 days.

On my cultural side (I sounds so "professor" lol) I visited a small castle, and Im gonna show some pics attached.
Hope you enjoy!

Well, what else to add; here in Italy we got election lately and the "right party" won against the "left party".
Some people think it's a good thing while some others are very negative.
What do I think? Well, not much will change!
There wasn't gonna be any big change with any of those 2 so called choices.

On the weather side, after many cloudy/wet days we can almost say summer is started in Italy.
Yesterday it was around 27°c and today almost the same (bit cloudy).
Very hot temperatures.

Today I was supposed to join the first race of the year (but I came too late and the max number of guys was already reached)

Then I was supposed to ride with them anyway the longer course, 150kms (but I mistook direction and missed them)

Then me and my friend went on, and we had a bad day (got a puncture and no one of the tubes I had were working! Then I broked the one of my friend!! Luckiy some cyclists were kind enough to gimme one of their)

Anyway, at the end of the day, beside the bad luck and bad weather I could do 140kms with the last 40-50kms at high pace simulating race conditions.
So it was good!

 

Gotta go to work!

Have a great Sunday!
