Not so great biking trip

Biking away

Yesterday's hiking trip had consumed our energy a bit too much as we went biking today. We started going the wrong way to Monguelfo, but when we couldn't find any biking route continuing to Monguelfo we turned back. The right route was exhausting uphill, not too steep but extremely long. Aino couldn't bike it, so she walked her bike and Gleb biked alongside. Although Gleb kept going with a thought on his head: "Maybe after that turn the rising stops..."

A castle near Monguelfo (wasn¨t open ): )

When we at last biked downhill to Monguelfo we again took the wrong turn, but later we saw clearly the reason why; the right turn was hiding in the bushes as well as the sign that told where the route led. We found the right path later after little accidental visit in Monguelfo.

We biked to a valley, following the path that sometimes was good asphalt, sometimes just twigs and stones. The path led to the car road, but the map said it should have continued up somewhere in the edge of the forest and the field. We never found the route again.

Aino had enough 

We stopped at a bar to have something to drink and asked for food. There were all these other guests eating, but the owner said that the kitchen was closed. We ate at another place, a hotel, that also seemed close; there was nobody else in the dining room except us, but the friendly owner of the hotel said that they were "half open" so they cooked us some delicious spaghetti. We continued all the way to San Martino, we should have kept on going to Santa Maddalena, but felt too tired for that, so we turned back.

We didn't feel like going through the hill, that only meant more uphill, so we went through Monguelfo and followed the car road, which was pretty scary because of the traffic. The route wasn't so great, and because it was hard to find the right paths we wouldn't probably recommend it easily. The biking trip took us about seven hours... Tomorrow fortunately the weekend starts, so we can have a little rest.
