Another great two weekends of riding. Last weekend, we ventured out to Radussa which makes for a 62-mile roundtrip ride. The first 30 miles are flats and a few hills and a nice climb up to Radussa.
For those who don't know the route... head toward Sferro and then keep straight and go over the railroad tracks and at about 29 miles there is a sign for Radussa. Go left and head that way, through the town of Radussa, and then you will come to a T... if you go right that will take you to Morgantina. Left takes you back home. The road is closed to traffic because a mudslide has pretty much blocked the tunnel. So... the road is a bit of dirt but rideable. Then head straight home.
The spring flowers are all along the median and filled with daisies, poppies and many other things. On the way to radussa there are mustard plants and fava beans growing everywhere. Also... the Oranges have Orange blossoms right now creating a strong jasmin-like fragrance along the way.
Yesterday... Tres and I did Muella and Geep and had a great time enjoying the wonderful scenery with Etna still having a bit of snow and the lands still very green.
