1. Tag. / 1st day. Castiglion Fiorentino, Besuch / visit Crisp Titanium

Che giornata! Die Zug-Spiessrutenfahrt verlief sehr glatt, Regelverstösse sind in Italien glücklicherweise oft Verhandlungssache (meine Veloverpackung entsprach nicht der Trenitalia-Vorschrift). Der anschliessende erste Rahmenbauerbesuch bei Darren Crisp in Castiglion Fiorentino war ein guter Start. Der aus Mississippi stammende Amerikaner blieb seit seinem Architekturstudium in Italien hängen und machte hier sein Hobby zum Beruf. Der lokale Mechaniker, bei dem ich eine kleine Nachjustierung machen liess, schickte mich zu einer sauguten Osteria (Ristorante al Muzzicone), wo ich zur Feier des Tourbeginns das volle Programm bestellte. Die Kalorien werd ich noch brauchen..

What a day! To take the train with the bike in Italy is always quite an adventure, even more if you are smuggling yourself with your oversized bike-bag in a Frecciarossa. It always helps to play the stupid tourist ;-) Right after assembling my randonneur I got to my very first visit of a frambuilder which was Darren Crisp. Darren, a passionated MTB-Racer from Mississippi came to Castiglion Fiorentino for his studies. He fell in love with Italy, stayed there and teached himself to become a framebuilder. Now he is running his own titanium bike workshop producing for clients all over the world. After my visit the local bike mechanic sent me to a damn good Osteria (Ristorante al Mussicone) where I celebrated my tour start with a full menu. I will need this calories...
