📣 ✨ UNFORGETTABLE TRIP ✨ 📣 WEEK / SETTIMANA #119/ a calm Bike Ride
In una tranquilla domenica mattina, mi sono messo in sella alla mia bici, pronto per una lunga pedalata, desideroso di staccare dalla routine e godermi la strada aperta. L’aria era fresca, il cielo un misto di azzurro e nuvole sparse. Le gambe trovavano il loro ritmo mentre attraversavo le vie familiari, lasciandomi alle spalle la città poco a poco.
Il percorso mi ha portato attraverso piccoli villaggi, tra case dai tetti rossi e vecchie strade in pavé che vibravano sotto le ruote. Ho seguito il sentiero tortuoso fino a quando l’asfalto ha lasciato spazio a strade sterrate, che si estendevano infinite in mezzo ai campi. Solo il vento e il lontano rumore di un treno rompevano il silenzio.
A ogni pedalata, i campi sono svaniti dietro di me, e mi sono ritrovato improvvisamente in mezzo a un bosco fitto.
Gli alberi alti formavano una sorta di tetto naturale, i loro rami spogli si intrecciavano sopra di me. Il terreno era irregolare, disseminato di radici e foglie cadute, rendendo la pedalata più impegnativa, ma anche più emozionante. Più mi addentravo, più il silenzio diventava assoluto, fino a quando l’unico suono rimasto era il mio respiro e il lieve scricchiolio degli pneumatici sul sentiero.
Dopo un tratto che sembrava infinito, il paesaggio si è aperto e davanti a me è apparso un lago tranquillo.
La sua superficie era liscia come uno specchio, riflettendo il cielo e le case sparse lungo la riva. Due alberi secolari si ergevano accanto all’acqua, con i loro rami nodosi rivolti al cielo come sentinelle silenziose. Mi sono fermato un attimo, respirando profondamente, assaporando la pace e lasciandomi accarezzare dalla brezza fresca che alleviava la fatica.
Ma il viaggio non era ancora finito. Con nuova energia, sono risalito in sella e ho ripreso la strada di casa. Davanti a me c’erano ancora 20 chilometri, ma sembravano scorrere veloci, come se fosse la strada stessa a spingermi avanti. Il vento sibilava intorno a me, i villaggi scorrevano sfocati nella corsa, e tutto sembrava ridursi al ritmo delle mie pedalate.
Alla fine, sono rientrato a casa – stanco, ma completamente appagato. Non era stata solo una semplice pedalata domenicale, ma un viaggio attraverso la natura, il silenzio e il movimento, tra solitudine e libertà. Un’esperienza da ricordare.
DEUTSCH:
An einem ruhigen Sonntagmorgen machte ich mich auf zu einer langen Radtour, bereit, dem Alltag zu entfliehen und die offene Straße zu genießen. Die Luft war frisch, der Himmel eine Mischung aus Blau und treibenden Wolken. Meine Beine fanden ihren Rhythmus, während ich durch bekannte Straßen fuhr und die Stadt allmählich hinter mir ließ.
Der Weg führte mich durch kleine Dörfer, vorbei an Häusern mit roten Dächern und alten Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen, die unter meinen Reifen summten. Ich folgte dem gewundenen Pfad, bis der Asphalt den staubigen Feldwegen wich, die sich endlos durch die weiten Felder erstreckten. Nur der Wind und das entfernte Rauschen eines vorbeifahrenden Zuges durchbrachen die Stille.
Mit jedem Tritt in die Pedale verschwanden die Felder langsam hinter mir, und ich fand mich plötzlich in einem dichten Wald wieder. Hohe Bäume bildeten ein natürliches Dach, ihre kahlen Äste verflochten sich über mir. Der Boden war uneben, mit Wurzeln und gefallenen Blättern übersät, was die Fahrt anspruchsvoller, aber auch spannender machte. Je tiefer ich in den Wald fuhr, desto stiller wurde es, bis nur noch mein Atem und das leise Knirschen der Reifen auf dem Waldboden zu hören waren.
Nach einer scheinbar endlosen Strecke durch den Wald öffnete sich der Blick, und vor mir lag ein ruhiger See. Seine Oberfläche war spiegelglatt und reflektierte den Himmel sowie die verstreuten Häuser am Ufer. Zwei alte Bäume standen am Wasser, ihre knorrigen Äste ragten wie stumme Wächter in den Himmel. Ich hielt kurz an, um den Moment zu genießen, die friedliche Stille aufzusaugen und die kühle Brise zu spüren, die meine Erschöpfung davontrug.
Doch meine Fahrt war noch nicht zu Ende. Mit neuer Energie stieg ich wieder auf mein Rad und begann den langen Heimweg. Noch 20 Kilometer lagen vor mir, doch sie fühlten sich leicht an, als ob mich die Straße selbst vorwärts trieb. Der Wind rauschte an mir vorbei, die Dörfer verschwammen in der Bewegung, und die Welt schien nur noch im Rhythmus meines Tretens zu existieren.
Schließlich kam ich zu Hause an – müde, aber vollkommen zufrieden. Es war mehr als nur eine Sonntagsfahrt gewesen; es war eine Reise durch die Natur, durch Stille und Bewegung, durch Einsamkeit und Freiheit. Eine Fahrt, die in Erinnerung bleibt.
ENGLISH:
On a quiet Sunday morning, I set off for a long bike ride, eager to escape the routine and embrace the open road. The air was crisp, and the sky a mixture of blue and drifting clouds. My legs found their rhythm as I pedaled through familiar streets, soon leaving the town behind.
The road led me through small villages, past houses with red roofs and old cobblestone paths that hummed under my tires. I followed the winding trail until the pavement gave way to dirt roads, stretching endlessly through the open fields. The silence was only broken by the occasional whisper of the wind and the distant sound of a passing train.
As I continued, the fields gradually faded into a dense forest. The towering trees formed a natural canopy, their bare branches intertwining overhead. The ground was uneven, scattered with roots and fallen leaves, making the ride more challenging but all the more exhilarating. The deeper I went, the more the world around me seemed to quiet down, leaving only the rhythmic sound of my breath and the steady crunch of tires against the earth.
After what felt like an endless stretch of woodland, I finally emerged from the trees and found myself in front of a lake. Its surface was still, reflecting the sky and the scattered houses along its shores. Two ancient trees stood by the water, their twisted branches reaching towards the clouds like silent guardians. I stopped for a moment, taking in the peaceful scenery, letting the cool breeze carry away any lingering fatigue.
But my journey wasn’t over yet. With renewed energy, I mounted my bike once more and began the long ride home. Another 20 kilometers awaited me, but the effort felt effortless, as if the road itself was pushing me forward. The wind rushed past, the villages blurred into motion, and the world seemed to exist only in the rhythm of my pedaling.
Finally, I arrived home—tired, yet completely at peace. It had been more than just a Sunday ride; it had been a journey through nature, through quiet and movement, through solitude and freedom. A ride to remember.
