E 'Jerome was a link to the site of the race, then to him the credit for bringing me to these places that already' knew because a friend who has a house in Coniolo.
To be honest the memory of those days at Coniolo ranging from the beauty of the Monferrato hills fastiodisita 'which gave the mosquitoes in late September for about twenty years ago.
You could not stay out of the house and remember that the collection of large ripe figs, hazelnuts and visits to the banks of the Po 'things were not easy due to the unbearable insect. In October, however
'hopes of mosquitoes do not even see the shadow and look forward to disturbance and that' came from Sweden, which has precipitated temperatures by several degrees.

The designated place of race and 'Rosignano Monferrato, a small village perched on a steep clay hill.
Of those countries that can only be photographed and best paintings, and who could do better Morbelli Angelo, the famous painter who gave light to the colors ...... I hope to get today, the lens of my camera good pictures.

Morbelli I said Angelo, a friend and adviser of that Pellizza Volpedo from that in him I find 'more' than a friend. Morbelli remains today in the Villa Maria Full of Rosignano Monferrato they stayed.
Here was at home by then Pellizza Volpedo and in these places that made his masterpiece painting, a representation of the people who starts a strike ... the Fourth Estate.
also my brother, an avid film buff, and director for pleasure, created in 2003 a beautiful short film on the history of the famous painting.

Hello Pino,
I am giving you some more details.
I retired to Stage Best of Santo Stefano, a Roman church over Lake Candia, the 67th km.
were 16 and 20. was 34 °. I was pretty good but I could not walk for a pain-corricchiare strong muscle at the hip ds.

I made a big mistake ..... I used some new shoes .... without having ever made.
Apart from the fact that I got them right too, and again in danger of losing the nail of the big left me hurt, other than that, enough already not to risk too much,
serious thing is that these shoes call muscles in a different way and came out an unbearable pain in the muscles that wrap around the outside hip.
trifle, but yesterday I was walking crooked, I'm fine now.

A great regret that I did not go wrong when you sent the sms, it was the 47th, psychologically I was a little down, I began to feel the fatigue started this hip pain, I could not do without suffering the discesine
to toe.
also believed to navigate in the bottom of the group, and instead I did not understand anything .. I had enough.
When I arrived at a stopping point of the bridge over the Dora, the 57th, I timidly mentioned the withdrawal, they said in chorus that I was 30 th overall, I could take it calmly and quietly walking
so I decided to keep going at least for the place next step.
It was not easy to get there, I could not make a yard more.

I open a parenthesis:
As you know this was my first real 'trail' classic, and, since the first edition, I did not know the ground .. The fact is
I was confused about when I arrived, everything was always fine.
still hoped to finish in the first part of the evening, after dark, but very close to Target.
then I ran with one fixed idea: I have to run all day, pass the hours. No clock.
In hindsight I see that I could finish between 23 and one o'clock. At least, that those who had arrived near.

This event takes place on almost all forest land, on a narrow mule paths always well marked.
The first part is a long descent through the woods towards Lake Bertignano, with the actual center of the Serra on the back of a donkey, a path with stones Quite technical. From Bertignano
on undulating terrain in the woods on dirt easy to pound acorns, curly chestnut mushrooms, the crossing of some agricultural land to corn or fruit trees and a few picturesque village. Funny

the brackets. The men's relay looks like a movie.
Vottero Reis, blazers, and Benedict, all three very young and have not found the fourth member. Then Vottero ago the first two fractions alone, some 56 km! But .. make a mistake from the first path and move to third, but recovers
pass the baton to Giacchetto still at a disadvantage than 6 minutes, paid the bill already Giacchetto km to the tenth of its population, it is a bit 'quiet and then he be passing the baton in 1st position with Erik that Benedict will
it the first competitor ever to cross the finish line aa Brosso.


Among the women's relay victory a foregone conclusion, there was a competing quartet Alma Rikka, Maria Luisa Riva, Raffaella Miravalle, Ornella Bosco. They also beat
Giuliano Cavallo, the first ever male!

horse has won in his own way, an important posting. He said he did not know what was happening behind. Zucconi did not know that he had retired.

Otherwise you would be spared, because who wants to run 7 days after the 3 municipalities of Albissola.

Francis has withdrawn about the 50th was the second or third, I felt that he had legs hard, cramps but we have not yet seen.

Musin 'October 3, 2010


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

gaze 360 \u200b\u200bdegrees from
Marcarolo to Cadibona From the
Monviso Granero
From Eagle SanGiorgio
Rubinet from the Rocciavrè
From Cristalliera all'Orsiera
From Pelvous to Ciusalet
From Rocciamelone to Civrari From the Throne

Then the misty moors Padane
have nothing to fear at the top


Al Musin 'I got to meet people like Valerie Bertoglio or the mayor of Torino Chiamparino, find old friends ... 'cause here sooner or later we are all at least once in their life, almost in procession, and then you make vivid the torchlight of January for the feast of St. Abaco, that are then in the great bonfire' Square Cays in Caselette with the drinking of mulled wine '......
