I am scared about not doing things that i'd like to do. Then on 29/09/2009 at 00.20 after having watched the last capolavoro of Giuseppe Tornatore, I decided to do the TransNebrodi solo. I'm glad to have taken this decision.
I reached the track starting from the Filiciusa Milia gate on the Etna sud side riding some kilometers on the famous Altomontana, went down to the Maletto village and up again towards the Tre Arie lake. Rested all the afternoon and slept in the the forest guards shelter called as the lake, I finally reached the Traversata dei Nebrodi path aside the lake Cartolari.
Time ago I was used to say to my grandfather that one day i would have cycled from Catania to his village Gangi. Now was time to do it. Mistretta wouldn't have been the last stop but only a pit-stop before going trough normal way to Gangi.
Exhausted I have been picked up from my uncle at 21.30 8 kilometers before arriving in Gangi.
Even if i haven't completed what i was supposed to do, I'm sure that my grandfather, wherever he has been watching me, is proud of his nephew and have helped him during this magical journey.

Non ho capito una minchia di ciò che hai scritto, ma tuo nonno, sempre che "dopo" ci sia qualcosa, ha apprezzato di sicuro! :-)
