PHILOSOPHY
A winter without our beloved country roads is unbearably long? Then we challenge him straight to the heart, that weekend said “of the Blackbird” which is proverbially the coldest of the year!
As a matter of fact, some truly heroic "Winter Heroes" were interspersed with others in which a warm climate and a landscape already in bloom gave us an unpredictable spring appetizer; come sarà questa edizione del decennale?! Certamente ricca di sorprese, a partire da una inedita incursione in mare aperto, almeno a tavola!
Base dell’evento sarà infatti l’Hotel Ristorante Alcide di Poggibonsi, il più rinomato per la cucina marinara dell’entroterra toscano; tanto per farvi venire l’acquolina in bocca, questo è il menù del venerdì sera … 🙂
Mini cacciucco (Starter)
Riso bianco di Alcide
Linguine cozze e vongole
Trancio di spigola gratinato con verdure miste al forno
Sorbetto al limone

THE PATH
What Winter Will Be?! As mild as the last, or ignorant as in the old days?!? BOHHhhhhhh!
When in doubt, this is how we proceed: if you study one “Robust”, with a bottom that can hold a “average winter”, And then:
1) you keep your fingers crossed to the last;
2) a full inspection is carried out the day before the event;
3) based on the findings of that survey, in the Friday night briefing we'll show you -- based on a real-time assessment, unless last-minute snowfall- that route that we believe has the safety/fun features according to our standards, hoping it doesn't imply significant cuts compared to the one originally planned.
In any case,, NO PASSENGER and GOMME BEN SCOLPITE (Repeat, well sculpted, that is, you don't need the combat tiled but you don't even show up with exquisitely road tyres, case even a little’ with fruit …). Taking into account the intrinsic characteristics of the route, and the rigor of the season, We would classify it as difficulty level MEDIUM; In any case, we will indicate all the points in which to use particular precautions, and detours for those who prefer to proceed on asphalt.
As usual, the Navigation is autonomous with GPS track; as a rule off-road, and in deference to our spirit “Team” we will encourage the formation of small groups that are as homogeneous as possible, in which we can cheerfully help each other even with orientation …
In short … We have to soak for a while longer’ 🙂
