Large Boobs Brag About

August 1, 2008: Sacra di San Michele

worth riding miles and miles in morning traffic in the towns of Turin belt to get to the valley and climb up to Sangone Sacra di San Michele? The answer is yes, however you!
To meet not just the traffic starting from Carignano mattinera to countries from agricultural Castagnole Volvera Piedmont where, over the motorway bridge appears to our view of the large chapel Pilotti. Built in 700 hours is raped by the presence of Pinerolo motorway that runs a few meters from its facade with the sole protection of a hedge. Almost warning of what awaits us, from here to Giaveno narrow roads and traffic have become a constant. Finally, let Giaveno, the road becomes more lonely and demanding climb. It gradually through the villages of Valgioie: many twists and turns, a few breaks up the hill Braida. From here, the tour offers the best moments: the beautiful descent can observe the impressive size of the Sacra di San Michele from many angles and looking down it looks to be overlooking the valley of Susa. The views follow each other even after crossing the footpath that leads to the Sacred. The perspective and the vision of the architectural complex is always breathtaking. Continuing the descent you reach a point where the road is carved into the side of the cliff overlooking the valley. For those not afraid of heights do not miss the excitement! The descent ends at the lakes of Avignon, where your deserved rest. At this point, our goal was the hunting lodge of Stupinigi, reached after 89 km on the road less attractive (see diary activities)
