Card Game Frustration Stages 20
July 25, Retz 'N' Rock Festival, Retz MC Como, Andrate / Up Mornasco (Como)
A small gathering but quite pleasant and with free entry.
Perhaps the rally is not the most suitable because This event was presented as a rock festival, and actually seeing the bands my space intervened they are indeed of a certain caliber.
But I went there for the party and the good relationships I have with the club organizer, and we would go the music had been played with tape. So it
motoraduno or festivals I hope to return next year.

16/19 July, Biker Days 2009, Falken MC Tyrol, Sterzing
I was at this meeting once in 2003, moreover it is a biennial event, so this year I decided to come back and combines a good ride through the Alps
Parto Thursday afternoon, I heads north, past the busy ring road towards Lecco Milan point, hence I have all along the eastern shore of Lake Como from Colico little further, then turn east in Valtellina. Passed June
Aprica Sondrio in the evening, here overnight in a small but cozy camp just outside the town near the Aprica Pass. The
Aprica Pass is marked on the maps, but the road seems even to take a step, maybe there is not a sign to indicate this.
The camp is not bad, there is a strong presence of permanent trailer equipped with as true alpine chalet that make it a really pretty picture, but for those just passing through there is little space, but in my case at all sufficient.
Costa strange and a bit 'annoying, the kind of camp at check-in asked me to leave the helmet off the reception, I wonder why? Perhaps seeing a biker bad bad and dirty it was feared that aggredissi.
Dinner at the campsite, noodles and mushroom cream, dried beef carpaccio, a couple of beers, coffee and glass of Braulio, nothing exceptional, but discreet.
After dinner, smoked a pipe, a beer and a chat with the local boys at the little bar of the campsite.
The next day wake up early in the morning, the rest I had retired early that night.
Remove the tent and loaded the bike, I a hearty mountain breakfast (ham, cheese, bread, butter and jam), and observe a team of lumberjacks who is going to work day and a factor that is dedicated to the milking stall in front of us city people do not are things you see every day.
Get back in the saddle, finish wooden bridge, the famous holiday resort does not attract me very much prefer the scenery of the Passo del Tonale shortly after that meeting, although not being in ski season seems a bit 'left.
However the show is really great, high mountain, towering peaks. Al Passo del Tonale
I visit a military memorial of the Great War, the lintel the front door a plaque called for respect of those who lie here.
Unfortunately, this request is rejected by most, some ladies in chat noisily among themselves, the record of such visits is full of messy writing, really Malten, I saw names of people that even if on opposing factions has cazzeggiano with his fanaticism over death of these poor soldiers, someone wrote "strength and honor and glory" and the like, and even signed with their blood and who wrote "no more war" and anti-war crap. Perhaps a shrine
military has no tourist attraction of a ski slope or a five-star hotel but it deserves to be respected a lot more, unfortunately in this case was not so, I think even the authorities do not care much.
starts drizzling so decided to go down quickly to the pass.
The descent is a bit 'challenging, steep, for more on the way there are a lot of work in progress. Continuing
step in Trentino Alto Adige and carried north to the Passo delle Palade.
All day it rained at times, but here the rain is pretty strong so I decide to stop for lunch.
the restaurant started to hear talk in German and even when I answer in Italian accent is, so I agreed to be now arrived in South Tirol or Alto Adige, if you prefer. I order a
first with a German name that I do not remember, it should be a specialty but at the end of the Tyrolean spinach ravioli with melted butter, however good.
After lunch the rain stopped and I get back on the road, before leaving the restaurant owner gives me a few questions on the bike and asks if I'm going to the rally.
I find it strange that in this pleasant mountain resort, a person not to anything to do with the environment bikers know about this event, it must really be something important for the area.
proceeded to Passo delle Palade leading to Merano, through the city and I put it in Passeiertal, coming from where I climbed up to the Passo di Monte Giove.
This is the step Top of the route, 2094 mt. drizzling but the temperature is 20 degrees so, fortunately, there is the risk that the rain turns into snow.
After the classic "coffee up" go down to Sterzing and finally arriving at the Biker Days.
It's Friday afternoon, but the rally is already quite crowded. Unfortunately
pour begins just as I'm placing the tent, which makes me swear a lot.
From this moment almost never stop raining until Sunday, the tent held until Saturday morning, then starts to filter the water, nothing strange when you consider that also emerged in the tent of meeting.
On Saturday morning I go out of the tent shivering western boots and damp have taken very little, there are only 9 and I can not get warm even with 3 coffee one after the other, moreover there is not even a bonfire.
the surrounding mountains will fall even snow.
In the afternoon I decided to find a hotel to spend the night in a dry, both here and work a 24 hour taxi service on 24, just for the rally, around here the police do not mess around and you should not drive if you partied and raised his elbow.
collect all bags except the tent because I really do not want to put it apart in the rain wetting them further. Apparently
Vipiteno are complete as hotel accommodation because of the great event, but fortunately I can find a simple but inexpensive small hotel on a mountain.
After a hot shower and a change of clothes to go on the taxi Sterzing, a brewery in the center with a heating gulashsuppe me and then I visited a bit 'old town.
I'll be back at the rally in the late afternoon and remain there until around 3 am, the hour to do an interesting encounter ... but unfortunately soon after calling a taxi to take me back to the hotel.
few words about the Biker Days: This is really a great wind that affects the whole district. There is a local who has not exhibited the poster and distributing the booklet information.
There are hotels and taxi service agreement.
The camping area is a beautiful lawn, fly in the ointment that the shaded areas are virtually nil, cmq this year has not really felt the need.
There are many articles biker stand, the stand of the club's rally patch costs only € 5.
There are many attractions, even if something is missing this year due to bad weather the performance of the freestyle was breathtaking.
He should also be held in a motorcycle parade through the center of Sterzing but this has blown the rain.
There are two tents each with a stage and live music.
Several food stands and a variety of bars, beer and waizen € 3 to the glass, food and varies significantly above average, bratwurst, ribs, chicken, shin, pasta, cakes, in addition to good prices, for example, I've got a great leg of pork with fried potatoes just 9 € .
There is a large influx of free riders and clubs from Austria and Germany, the Italians, but there is a lot easier to hear German, however the atmosphere is quiet and friendly for all.
addition to the rider there are also many young Sterzing and environs attracted by music and parties in general, this creates a bit 'to crush under the main tent, but the area is so large as to be no risk of overcrowding.
must still put in mind that there is a big event, if you love the little party for bikers only then this gathering is not for you, but I also appreciate those small events that, to say that at least once a Biker Days you can not miss.
All this with free admission, at least for those arriving by bike.
Thinking about how much they cost inputs to the meetings generally one is really impressive.
Sunday morning I wake up late, out of a beautiful sun shining and the sky is very blue, broken only by some cloud, temperature 20 degrees was not so unfortunate that even in the days highlight of the rally.
I'll be back at the rally to take down the curtain and see that here the party has not yet over, I think that will start in the end only in the late afternoon.
remember the cold of the weekend spent there remain only the snow-capped peaks.
A quick tug on the highway, with only two stops for refueling, takes me home to store also the adventure.
