Incipit
Trail Tales so far written about the medium to long distances, is not well placed then a race to 8 km in the corollary of the tales of rides in the mountains.
This race, however, has a special flavor for me, 'cause it plays in the mythologized, magical, wonderful, historic mountain named Musin'.
Prelude
The first time I heard the word Musin 'was around the middle' of the 70 ', by my brother Vito between a Petrus and an MS, after lunch, in the house in Via Torino 1'Piano Ormea n.8 above the bakery today already 'food, I racccontava as its Office of the former steelworks Teksid Corso Mortara, it was explained by one of his colleagues the names of the mountains from there' behold .... The Pirchiriano with the Holy of St. Michael, The Musina, the Civrari .... and I listen to them with curiosity 'and interest.
And to think that my brother do not particularly like the mountains and never until now been able to bring it to the summit of Musin '.
Prologue
The first time I climbed on top, goes back to 1986 when the gym with friends Karate 'Arashi Doyo' Corso Dante, we took a tour of fun ... so'.... to stay a day together.
not remember the trip as a day particularly piacevpole and even I struggle to focus it.
I returned to the top of Musinè with friends again in 1988 and this one I remember more 'sharp, perhaps because of the pictures taken going up the mountain, there was me Marco, Piero, Fausto buddies in real life and at work ...
More 'diligent climbs when you are done, now alone in the house since' my father had moved to Salbertrand, the time to spend in solitude was not extended. So
'some Sundays I run around like wild and lonely for Musinè, away from the chaotic city, free from the noise and things. I went back and peaceful
Peace on Monday so I work less distressed.
Have you seen how many people go
many hearts beat happy
How many minds here And how about you
to seek to resolve problems in
to alienate the world
to throw down 'to your foot steps
In
fleeting love on your hips
In a love forever
Years passed before Musin dated from 'the family, the work they have fully occupied the time.
Then in 1997 I decided it was time to take a few hours for Sport .... sure make it in writing in a gym or association I had absolutely no desire since I arrived 11 years of fitness and Federation of Martial Arts .... no just no desire.
I wanted to be free ... and what better gym Musin'.... just minutes from home a mountain Pret-a-Porter.
The climbs have occurred at least once a week .... I went up only if the weather was good, nevertheless I enjoyed the last remnants of the group of fans who attended the Musin between the goal 'of the 80' and In the late 90 '.
I heard them speak of repeated daily Musin at 4.5 times the number of times a year ..... 200.250 mythical figures who have graced the mountain and have written a piece of history.
Paul, Andriano, Mark, Richard, Mario, Enzo, Salvatore, Cristina, Marcello, Gianmarco, Rocco, and Perrone .... forgive me those are not cited.
On all Cristina's birthday, to be honest I do not remember 'the year 1999 or 2000 I do not know ... had spread the word for festeggiamemnti, as usual, Vito and Marco. In the evening of top
birthday, a beautiful summer evening, we were about thirty people ... a memory indelebile.Tutti had brought along some goodies and had become party.
The descent on the full moon experience.
remember beautiful moments;
-Large snowfall in winter with snow on his belly-
's use of crampons on the steep slopes to the north-
The ski mountaineers that fast-darting
The cold days of January with the Verglass The climbs on the rocks
-summer accompanied by the singing of the cicadas
-night in the moonlight with the lights of Turin
-curious meetings with Wild boar, chamois, roe deer, hares and minilepri
-collections of herbs aromatic grass with wild fennel and onion asparagus wild-
The Buzzards chasing that high, and both gliders floated on the warm updrafts
-I lunch prepared by our Vito, now chef-I trust
fungaioli coming down with baskets full of mushrooms and drum sticks
-Newcomers of downhill looking for, without ever succeeding, to tame the mountain to climb The
-come, first downhill and to discuss Policy
-Picking blackberries for jam. The Way of the Cross-
Pasquale for kiosks that link to S. The Abaco
-ascended with the fog that covered the plain
and so many other things .... about this incredible mountain living.
And then on top if the weather helps you, you are rewarded after 750 meters of elevation gain at 1150 above sea level, with a beautiful panorama of the Alps Maritimes, Hautes and Graie
