Rieti Rest day





A couple of pics of the waterfall - largest in Europe, made by the Romans to drain the plateau and Riete surrounds.

The old map of reiti shows a road running uphill from the bottom left. This is a Roman road and buildings are built up now around it (medieval). The other picture is taken from under a building, which is medieval and you can see the Roman road - the wall of it - visible in the arch. This is the top of the wall/road as a lot of rubbish has accumulated in 2000 years.

Race day to Terminillo






... But not in Gliders...

We accidentally end up in the pits, visit a paragliding take off and then arrive at the end of the race at the top of the moutain!
