Day 6: Siena - Belsona

When the alarm clock went on, I was so tired packing up that I forgot a key to on line banking in the hotel room.a good thing was that the smoothee maker was packed and pjt to use, even in the hotel room. The energy kick that this thing gives you is undescribable... it lasts till lunch time with total ease. Anyhow,once waking up, I felt the tiredness, again have been delayed in the morning rutine. But after the first coffee in Siena next to the psychiatric institute gave me the strenght to continue and once more I answer3d my question why this is called the ride for freedom. One miracle happened soon as well on the S2 or Francigiana road...the first sign of 215 km till Rome showed up. I guess the number reduced my energy level for the day. It was extremely hot this day and I kept stopping on small pedaled lenghts. The Rome sign issue was depressing, but I kept finding strenght in seeing other cyclists and walkers of the path. Luch I had in thi on the small hill village and each time I hit the grocery store, my body was calling for the food that I saw. I think is amazing when the body talks to you in such a strange way...never too much and necer to less and only nutrition full and alive foods. Step by stel in a slow pace I made it to the daily goal in Belsona. I have tried to find a couch with sending my last request, but it was a no lucky try. Right before the descent to Belsona a marvolous view opened up to the lake and the scenery of the surrounding area. But, I think God forgot about this place leaving the roads is such a bad state that I almost got killed. I must say, it shook me and was considering of taking the train the next day. There was a hole coming up that I bypassed and as soon as I did a sudden turn back, a long truck passed me by 20 cm away from my knee. It was trully scary....a small mistake by my part and a huge one from the people that leave messy and destroyed roads in such a state on beautiful landscape florised by historical points of reference. Got into a hotel, went to the shop and relaxed for the evening calmi g down my adrenaline. I finally decided to call some friends from Slovenia because I finally started to believe that my Ride for freedom going all the way to Vatican is becoming reality. Only one more day and I hope my body and no accident luck will last for another day before the grand finale. Till next time.
