It's the beginning of August and I’m searching for freshness in a warm summer day, so, even if the weather forecast is announcing some possible thunderstorms, I hop onto my Indian and go for a ride towards the mountains!

I've selected a few moments to render the idea...

THE SAN SIMEONE WITH A CLOUD ON THE TOP: 
IN THIS TRIP I'LL PARTIALLY CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN

THE BUNKER PUB IN THE TOWN OF BRAULINS

THE LAKE OF CAVAZZO FROM TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS

THE PIZZERIA "AL GRECO" IN THE TOWN OF AMPEZZO:
MEDITERRANEAN AND EXOTIC PIZZAS AMONG THE ALPS!

THE LITTLE CUTE SAINT ANTONIO CHURCH NEARBY AMPEZZO

 

THE ARTESANAL BREWERY "FOGLIE D'ERBA" IN THE TOURISTIC TOWN FORNI DI SOPRA:
I PERSONALLY DO NOT DRINK WHEN I RIDE / I DO NOT RIDE WHEN I DRINK BUT...
FOR THE ONES WHO LOVE TO QUENCH THEIR THIRST WITH THE TASTE OF A GENUINE BEER,
THIS IS A TOP PLACE IN THIS PART OF THE GLOBE! 

MONTE JOF RESTAURANT: MY PIT STOP FOR A QUICK SNACK
 ALONG THE BEAUTIFUL ROAD BETWEEN FORNI AND AMPEZZO

ON THE PANORAMIC ROAD SP72,
WHILE  THE CLOUDS STARTED TO COVER THE SUN

SELLA CHIANZUTAN (3.129 feet height)
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MILESTONES OF THE "GIRO D'ITALIA 2020"

SEE ALSO MY OTHER POST "CHASING CANYONS..." FOR MORE IMAGES AND STORIES ABOUT THESE PLACES!

THE LAKE OF VERZEGNIS HAS A BRIDGE THAT ALLOWS TO CROSS OVER IT
I GOT LUCKY: THE CLOUDS DISSIPATED ENTIRELY WHEN I REACHED THIS ROMANTIC SPOT 

 

BORDANO IS CALLED THE TOWN OF THE BUTTERFLIES
'CAUSE THE ENVIRONMENT HERE IS IDEAL FOR THE GROWTH OF MANY RARE SPECIES OF BUTTERFLIES 
MOST OF THE HOUSES IN THIS VILLAGE HAVE COLORFUL GRAFFITI ON THEIR WALLS

ONE OF THE BRIDGES OVER THE TAGLIAMENTO RIVER
CONNECTS THE VILLAGE OF PIOVERNO TO THE TOWN OF VENZONE.
THE MOUNTAIN IN THE BACKGROUND OF THIS PICTURE IS THE SAN SIMEONE: 
AT THIS POINT I HAD COME FULL CIRCLE WITH MY TRIP!

IT HAS BEEN A RELAXING AND REGENERATING RIDE!
