Upon his arrival<\/strong>, Stefano tells us one of the many ways to get from Munich to Ferrara: \u201cJust take a direct train from Bologna to Munich, think about it\u201d. In fact, we thought about how many possible ways there are to go somewhere, and the only one having all human emotions in it was this one. Connecting point A to point B simply riding a bicycle can be the most complicated way to simplify your life, and sorry, randonneur friends, if we haven\u2019t come up with something less absurd, less hard, or shorter. Because, the longer the road, the more uncertainties you gather, and the more you feel thrilled before you start, like Alejandro tells us in Munich, the day before: \u201cI can\u2019t wait for tomorrow\u201d. Then tomorrow always comes, with all the side effects you can have in a 650km ride: avoiding rain or heat, massage your legs or your mind, odds, accidents, temptations, hallucinations, nightmares, troubles, relieves and final orgasms.<\/p>\n

The side effects save us<\/strong>, they let us find the road again while Garmin might keep us on the right track, but your mind doesn\u2019t, your mind stumbles, diverts, in such a long trip, where beyond mountains there are other mountains, where beyond the plains you find plains and plains again. So you end up thinking about you, about who\u2019s riding close to you, and you don\u2019t stop and you start thinking about someone who is in a completely different part of the world, someone that would have liked to be with you, someone who wouldn\u2019t even dream of riding such a long ride, someone that could be in London or Los Angeles, and who knows what might be doing. But you are there, on that road so full of stories, beginning in a faraway past and looking endless, slopes after descents, after slopes after descents: \u201cAlso because beyond this there is heaven\u201d. Beyond there\u2019s tomorrow, another interstellar trip connecting boundaries, people, different worlds. We don\u2019t know any other way to do this.<\/p>\n

Thank you to the three hundred randonneurs that chose to join from Italy<\/strong>, Germany, and from all over the world for the eigth edition of Rando Imperator.<\/p>\n
