I planned to activate Mt Rai I/LO-247 reaching it by bike. in last weeks i studied the track for the summit starting from my qth and crossing white roads and paths, avoiding busy street.
I started from my qth situated in Valmadrera: the way points were Civate, Suello, Cesana, Roccolo park, Madonna della neve church, Campora, Sec and at last mt Rai. the climb up consists of 15km with about +1100mt and the climb down of 5km on hard track, closing the loop.
I pulled up the bike in a part of track with staircase, where cycling was impossible.
it was a nice avventure to discover the places studied on the map. My biggest worry was having some meccanical problem or puncure. the mousse on tires worked fine and also the frame bag was usefull.
I activated the summit with kx3 and a telescopic antenna. I worked in 30-20-10mt ssb and cw. 30mt didn’t permit any qso. 10mt was open to Canarie, the 20mt had all around Europe skip.
Thanks at all
