Subject: Back from Hollydays, found Beppe, went to help enduro meeting,
Hi all, I am Back!
I spend a week with parents, a week in Skiathos were i saw Beppe with his
family, 2 days in Skopelos, back home were i head a nasty crash after a tour
in my hometowns mountains!
Those of you that haven't been to Greece yet come! I don't think youll find
many places in the world so easy to go to, so cheap to stay and so
beautyfull!!!!
Ask Beppe, he was there, Beppe say hi to Stefania and Emanuela! :)
After i had enough sea and sun for this summer i went back to my home town
where the guys of the local club are getting ready for the 7th national
Enduro meeting witch will be held at a camping at the outscirts of the
mountain and national forest of Oiti at 5, 6 and 7 September.
Those of you that can DONT MISS IT!
At the same time there will be a moto cross race for the national moto cross
championship only 3 km from the camp!
The local guys are planning 2 trips to the area, one for normal riders and
one for hard core enduro maniacs.
I went to check out the normal rout, witch is really easy and very
beautyfull, it goes through some very nice and easy forest roads, through
the national forest (or is it reservation?) of Oiti, about 130 km of dirt,
but really easy and fun!

On the way back i had a VERY close encounter with a CATERPILLAR!!!!!!(you
know, NOT the kind that lives on trees and eats the leavs!!!)
It was NOT in the dirt road, but after that, were a bridge has fallen, it
was dark (about 10:30 at night) and as a sign for the damadged bridge they
had put a very dirty sign at the hight of my knee, 4 rusted barrels and that
monster 4 meters after.
Think about it, you go at a straight asfalt road with about 80kmh, a car is
comming from the opposite side lights on and all, and as soon as the car
goes out of the way you turn your high beam on and in about 25 meters you
see all the above, PLUS the road is full of gravel because of the
works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................................BOOM!
It was: BRAKES!!!!!!!!!I AM SLIDDING.........I AM
FALLING..................AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAA!
WOW! LOOK at that bike going WITH THE SHINNING SIDE DOWN!!!
Finally i was "lucky", only minor scratches and bruises, and the bike didnt
suffer any bad damadge, only a scratched fairring adn a bit twisted front
fairring!
I think if anyone of you doesnt have crash bows now is the time to get them!!!
So keep slidding, (STAY AWAY FROM CATERPILLARS)
