Stuttgart to Baden-Baden
I
t’s the big day. We meet at Dennis’ house, in a living room that seems the locker room of a racing team, while he’s running at the airport to pick up Rocco and Bozo arriving from Milan. And so, sitting on the couch, we are dying to start and we have a little talk about our expectation and fears. At the end, the group climbs the saddle at 3 pm, already behind schedule. Not even time to get out of town and get into the forest, we are overwhelmed by torrential rain. In the meantime there are those who had a puncture, those who has the crank which remains attached only by the force of gravity and who begins to feel
the first kilometers on the knees. In the evening we are guest at Adrian parents’ house in Baden-Baden, so, hot shower for all, pasta with sauce and a toolbox for Bozo holes up in the basement and repairs with mastery the crank with an aluminum sheet.
