Havia um clima de festa por todos os cantos, bares lotados, calçadas repletas de gente de pé e sentada em cadeiras preguiçosas, um trânsito intenso de veículos automotores. Depois de passar por todas aquelas luzes de neons, faróis e burburinho de gente, chegamos ao portal "Nosso Adeus não é para Sempre" as margens da RS 472, por onde entramos na escuridão da estrada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_l9nFf0OI/AAAAAAAABDs/2bIBT5anStA/s1600-h/pampa+143.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399787324867334370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_l9nFf0OI/AAAAAAAABDs/2bIBT5anStA/s320/pampa+143.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lGCSKKgI/AAAAAAAABDk/93tScdw3Jl4/s1600-h/pampa+151.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399786370095524354" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lGCSKKgI/AAAAAAAABDk/93tScdw3Jl4/s320/pampa+151.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Faroletes e piscas ligados, velocidade incógnita, precisávamos pedalar. E pedalamos o mais rápido possivel numa grande subida quase plana, que era grande por ser longa e quase plana pela inclinação sutil. A distância fez daquilo um sacrifício noturno. Pedal sem tréguas por horas, logo no início, deu para aquecer sem o potente sol a pino. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lFsx6tbI/AAAAAAAABDc/APqqaHS9Wtw/s1600-h/pampa+152.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399786364323149234" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lFsx6tbI/AAAAAAAABDc/APqqaHS9Wtw/s320/pampa+152.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; No princípio havia trânsito de veículos mas aos poucos o movimento foi ficando escasso. A luz da lua cada vez mais forte, a certa altura desliguei o farolete e pedalei no centro da pista. Via-se a lua refletida no asfalto e nas folhas úmidas da mataria. Banhados assustadores e infindos nos rodeavam, luzes distantes à beira da estrada, luzes de silos desertos e distantes, luzes que fugiam. Quanto mais pedalávamos mais se afastavam,como estrelas a nos observar ao longe meio inatingíveis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lFa_rgeI/AAAAAAAABDU/iDrc3T536zY/s1600-h/pampa+154.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399786359549034978" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lFa_rgeI/AAAAAAAABDU/iDrc3T536zY/s320/pampa+154.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Numa parada de ônibus e pela uma hora da madrugada, fizemos um lanche rápido. Silêncio total. Nem cachorro latia. Somente grilos e uivos estranhos de bichos do mato cortavam o som da noite. A partir dali foi um deserto de casas e tudo mais, mataria e banhado. Apenas a lua a iluminar as linhas de um asfalto bom por sinal, e pedal quase sem parar, até a entrada de São Borja. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lFHxdpjI/AAAAAAAABDM/dddwch-IT6c/s1600-h/pampa+159.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399786354389132850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_lFHxdpjI/AAAAAAAABDM/dddwch-IT6c/s320/pampa+159.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Chegamos exaustos procurando hotel as três da manhã. Achamos um hotel que mais parecia motel no centro da cidade. Um cheiro de mofo e cigarro, apenas para ficar das três da madrugada até a hora do onibus partir para Porto Alegre. Tínhamos pressa em voltar para casa. O Alberto ainda se dispôs a comprar as passagens bem cedo antes que o ônibus lotasse. As oito da manhã comprou as últimas duas. Partimos as onze, chegamos ainda de dia em Porto Alegre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vídeos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-3853d166b8897f46" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v5.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D3853d166b8897f46%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D353A584809B2D6F7CDA38B2FBBB34045389E385B.79618828F3D6BDCCF51E60BA4FDB3CDD28598D45%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D3853d166b8897f46%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DTwywxSIUetWymb-q3lmmlCN-nrY&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v5.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D3853d166b8897f46%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D353A584809B2D6F7CDA38B2FBBB34045389E385B.79618828F3D6BDCCF51E60BA4FDB3CDD28598D45%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D3853d166b8897f46%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DTwywxSIUetWymb-q3lmmlCN-nrY&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-442580c23a014134" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D442580c23a014134%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D19F6B2C185318D7548A926E931CDB3F292723250.48E718EAEBE23479EF83C89900960EFF25692092%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D442580c23a014134%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DYKPTvovLIhMDxQ2jREv_ROiuJTs&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D442580c23a014134%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D19F6B2C185318D7548A926E931CDB3F292723250.48E718EAEBE23479EF83C89900960EFF25692092%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D442580c23a014134%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DYKPTvovLIhMDxQ2jREv_ROiuJTs&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Itaqui - São Borja cities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We took back our equipment and left leaving the hotel paid for a day for a rider. It took us a while to cross the city from end to end. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere, crowded bars, sidewalks packed with people standing and sitting in chairs lazy, a heavy traffic. After going through all those neon lights, lights and buzz, we got to the portal "Our Farewell is not Forever" on the edges of SR 472, where we entered in the darkness.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Taillights and turn signals on, speed unknown, we needed to ride. And we rode as fast as possible in a hard climb almost flat, which was great because it was long and almost flat by tilting imperceptible. The distance did what a sacrifice. Pedal for hours without respite, early on, full steam ahead.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;At first there was vehicular traffic to and fro movement but gradually became scarce. The moonlight grew stronger after a certain point the spotlight turned off and rode on the track. I saw the moon reflected on the wet asphalt and leaves the kill.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Wetlands frightening and endless, distant lights along the road, lights and distant deserts bins on the roadside. Lights as they ran, the more it seemed that we pedaled more turned away.At a bus stop and the one in the morning, we had a snack. Total silence. Neither the dog barked. Just cut the sound crickets at night. From there it was a wilderness of houses and everything. Only the moon to illuminate the lines of a good asphalt by the way, and pedal without stopping, without stopping until the entrance of San Borja city.We arrived tired looking hotel at three in the morning. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We found a hotel that looked like motel in the city center. A musty smell and smoke, but it was only to stay until the three hours from the bus to Porto Alegre city. We had to hurry back home. Alberto is still willing to buy tickets early before the buses lotasse. Eight in the morning bought the last two. We left at eleven, we arrived in daylight in Porto Alegre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-1670602075284274649?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/1670602075284274649/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=1670602075284274649' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1670602075284274649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1670602075284274649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html#1670602075284274649' title='Itaqui (RS) - São Borja (RS)'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_mUjKSKvI/AAAAAAAABD0/Mo8uFW3HUN8/s72-c/pampa+141.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-730012018530124114</id><published>2009-11-03T00:54:00.017-02:00</published><updated>2011-04-21T14:10:27.783-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Uruguaiana (RS) - Itaqui (RS)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_flWa4CtI/AAAAAAAABC8/cu0SErpWFFM/s1600-h/pampa+073.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399780311006972626" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_flWa4CtI/AAAAAAAABC8/cu0SErpWFFM/s400/pampa+073.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância Total: 107 km&lt;br /&gt;Vm: 16,5 km/h&lt;br /&gt;Saída: 06 hs&lt;br /&gt;Chegada: 14 hs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_dX0CyiBI/AAAAAAAABCc/ozuyRV6vfmE/s1600-h/pampa+101.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cada manhã saíamos mais cedo dos hotéis para fugir do sol, ressabiados ainda com o trecho terrível de Livramento a Quaraí. Para aumentar a surpresa a estrada ganhou outras proporções. Não mais latifundios sem sombra nem água pelo caminho. Pequenas propriedades de colonos costeando aquele trecho da RS 472 muito bem sombreado. Um ar até gelido que vinha das lagoas e matos nos refrigerava o peito naquela manhã linda. Nosso mais longo descanso foi num pesqueiro onde serviam peixe frito na hora com limão. Ali dormitamos nuns bancos sob a sombra enquanto esperávamos que fritassem o surubi. Comemos peixe com pão de casa com muita tranquildade e sem nos preocuparmos com o passar do tempo ocioso sem pedalar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SvBPNgxLQuI/AAAAAAAABEE/iD_rt510zLk/s1600-h/pampa+107.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399903046770311906" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SvBPNgxLQuI/AAAAAAAABEE/iD_rt510zLk/s320/pampa+107.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_cBoYAdJI/AAAAAAAABB8/ATCWK_8bfiE/s1600-h/pampa+115.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399776398816605330" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_cBoYAdJI/AAAAAAAABB8/ATCWK_8bfiE/s320/pampa+115.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_cB-7m0AI/AAAAAAAABCE/10zMxHUl5Xc/s1600-h/pampa+109.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399776404871499778" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_cB-7m0AI/AAAAAAAABCE/10zMxHUl5Xc/s320/pampa+109.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atravessamos o rio Ibicuí por uma ponte comprida, outra parada num boteco para uma coca-cola bem gelada. Sem preocupações com o tempo. A partir dali as sombras escassearam, o sol ficou mais forte. Fizemos várias outras paradas nas sombras que encontrávamos pelo caminho. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SvBOoY5bAlI/AAAAAAAABD8/TWUmTnO619Y/s1600-h/pampa+070.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399902409002254930" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SvBOoY5bAlI/AAAAAAAABD8/TWUmTnO619Y/s320/pampa+070.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_cBFn9bQI/AAAAAAAABBs/GuyLihTX9ro/s1600-h/pampa+126.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399776389488274690" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_cBFn9bQI/AAAAAAAABBs/GuyLihTX9ro/s320/pampa+126.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_Z7g75qVI/AAAAAAAABBc/ZuYVDgEk1wE/s1600-h/pampa+129.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399774094717200722" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_Z7g75qVI/AAAAAAAABBc/ZuYVDgEk1wE/s320/pampa+129.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_Z7PPdcRI/AAAAAAAABBU/p3InhSZJJ7g/s1600-h/pampa+130.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399774089967399186" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_Z7PPdcRI/AAAAAAAABBU/p3InhSZJJ7g/s320/pampa+130.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_fNGNDpII/AAAAAAAABC0/lOp4EhaJO60/s1600-h/pampa+131.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399779894337184898" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_fNGNDpII/AAAAAAAABC0/lOp4EhaJO60/s320/pampa+131.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chegamos em Itaqui pedalando contra o vento num retão interminável mais subida que descida. Entramos cansados naquela cidade que não era tão pequena como foi à primeira vista. Haviamos entrado por uma via secundária e o Alberto achou que aquilo era o fim do fim do mundo. Nem tanto. Uma pedalada mais nos interstícios procurando hotel mostrou ser uma cidade aconchegante, meio moderna e grandota. Paramos numa sorveteria e ali sentamos na calçada em frente comendo sorvete.&lt;br /&gt;-Quando ficariamos sentados na calçada como crianças chupando picolé em sã consciência?&lt;br /&gt;-Só meio chapados de endorfina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_Z6Oj0CiI/AAAAAAAABA8/t8MUED6MsQw/s1600-h/pampa+122.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399774072604461602" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_Z6Oj0CiI/AAAAAAAABA8/t8MUED6MsQw/s320/pampa+122.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procuramos um hotel, estavam quase todos lotados por causa dum evento municipal. Restou o hotel Contursi.&lt;br /&gt;-Bah vamos dormir contorcidos nesse hotel!&lt;br /&gt;Mas o hotel era bom. Bom ar condicionado para aquele calor dos diabos, mesmo bem no fim da tarde. Dormimos até por volta das 20 hs quando fomos passear na cidade tirar umas fotos às margens do rio Uruguai e procurar algo para comer.&lt;br /&gt;Um restaurante escondido, abrigava em si um amplo jardim de inverno em estilo antigo. Temperatura e iluminação agradável lá dentro, sem ventiladores e janelas, jantamos uma comida excelente. O Alberto cogitou de algum dia levar a esposa dele para jantar naquele restaurante surpreendente, e ver as dezenas de prédios antigos que pululam pela cidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_dXhGA-dI/AAAAAAAABCU/ROlmOB4fWDA/s1600-h/pampa+117.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399777874330843602" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_dXhGA-dI/AAAAAAAABCU/ROlmOB4fWDA/s320/pampa+117.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_dXe-GURI/AAAAAAAABCM/FOrBcT5TbdQ/s1600-h/pampa+137.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399777873760768274" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_dXe-GURI/AAAAAAAABCM/FOrBcT5TbdQ/s320/pampa+137.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois da janta fenomenal, sentamos num banco da praça. A cidade super-animada, ruas repletas de gente alegre, gente bebendo cerveja ou chimarrão sentados em frente das casas antigas. A praça cheia de crianças, uma clima de alegria geral naquela cidade dita do fim do mundo.&lt;br /&gt;-E veja que lua bonita!&lt;br /&gt;Uma lua enorme no céu.&lt;br /&gt;-E veja que calmaria, nem brisa.&lt;br /&gt;Os galhos das árvores paralizados.&lt;br /&gt;Pensei na lua, nos galhos parados. A alegria e agito da gente daquela cidade nos dava ânimo e nos tirava a vontade de voltar para dentro do hotel.&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos agora para São Borja! Fugir do vento e do sol. Teremos a luz da lua e os faroletes. São só 90 km!&lt;br /&gt;-Ummm bem pensado.

To increase the surprise the road took other proportions. No more estates without shade or water on the road. Smallholdings and coasting settlers that stretch of SR 472 well shaded. A cold air coming from the ponds and woods till our chests in that morning refreshed beautiful. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Our longer rest where fishing was a fried fish served with lemon on the spot. There lurk in some banks in the shade while we waited for fried surubi. We ate fish with homemade bread with lots tranquildade and without worrying about the passing of time idle without pedaling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We crossed the Ibicui river by a long bridge, another stop at a bar for an ice cold Coke. No worries with time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;From there the shadows become scarce, the sun got stronger. We made several other stops in the shadows the way we met.We arrived in Itaqui pedaling against the wind in a straight climb more than endless descent. We got tired in the town who was not as small as it was at first sight. We entered by a secondary road and Albert thought that was the end of the end of the world. Not so. One more ride in the interstices looking hotel proved to be a cozy town, half modern and big man. We stopped at an ice cream and sat there on the sidewalk outside eating ice cream."When we would be sitting on the sidewalk like children sucking popsicle in conscience?Only middle-high on endorphins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We looked for a hotel, were almost all filled up because of an event hall. Contursi left the hotel.Bah,we will sleep contorted in that hotel!But the hotel was good. Good air conditioning for one hell of heat, even at the very end of the afternoon. We slept until around 20 pm when we went in town to take photos on the River Uruguay and look for something to eat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;A hidden restaurant, housed in itself a large winter garden in an antique style. Temperature and pleasant lighting inside, no fans and windows, a fine dining dinner. Alberto ponder some day take his wife to dinner at the amazing restaurant and see the dozens of old buildings that sprout up around town.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;After supper phenomenal, sat on a park bench. The super-bustling city, streets full of happy people, people drinking beer or mate sitting in front of the old houses. The plaza filled with children, a general atmosphere of joy in that city said the end of the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"And see that beautiful moon! "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;A huge moon in the sky.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"And see that calm or breeze."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The tree limbs paralyzed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I thought of the moon, standing in the branches. The joy and excitement of the people of that city gave us courage and took the will to go back inside the hotel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"Let's go now to San Borja city! Escaping the wind and sun. We will have the moonlight and flashlights. Are only 60 miles!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"Ummm, well thought out. It is ok!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-730012018530124114?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/730012018530124114/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=730012018530124114' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/730012018530124114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/730012018530124114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html#730012018530124114' title='Uruguaiana (RS) - Itaqui (RS)'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_flWa4CtI/AAAAAAAABC8/cu0SErpWFFM/s72-c/pampa+073.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-4252674128730217344</id><published>2009-11-02T00:14:00.012-02:00</published><updated>2010-12-07T10:25:22.115-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Quaraí (RS) - Uruguaiana (RS)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_SIQ2fuBI/AAAAAAAABA0/9UPeYRgyrnE/s1600-h/pampa+072.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399765517644838930" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_SIQ2fuBI/AAAAAAAABA0/9UPeYRgyrnE/s400/pampa+072.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância Total: 127 km&lt;br /&gt;Vm: 19 km/h&lt;br /&gt;Saída: 06:15 hs&lt;br /&gt;Chegada: 14 hs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saímos ao raiar do sol de Quaraí, esperando enfrentar outro dia de sol escaldante naqueles asfaltos sem sombra ou água fresca. Mas tivemos uma agradável surpreza pela modificação do relevo. O calor se abrandou na manhã, fizemos paradas agradáveis nas proximidasde do morro do Jarau. Diz uma lenda gaúcha registrada por João Simões Lopes Neto, que lá viveu uma uma princesa moura que se transformara em bruxa, e que teria vindo em uma urna de Salamanca, na Espanha. Esta lenda inspirou Érico Veríssimo a escrever partes de O Tempo e o Vento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RWl7oJOI/AAAAAAAABAs/YHzuV5knyls/s1600-h/pampa+075.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399764664310047970" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RWl7oJOI/AAAAAAAABAs/YHzuV5knyls/s320/pampa+075.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante esse trecho o Alberto falou que se fazendo exercicios extenuantes como os pedais que faziamos, interrompe-se a produção de matabolitos, sendo tudo absorvido ou reabsorvido pelo corpo avído de nutrientes. Não quis pensar nos porquês e se isso era verdade, estava com muita fome para raciocinar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RWQCRuOI/AAAAAAAABAk/RFBmyp_bFYg/s1600-h/pampa+080.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399764658432358626" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RWQCRuOI/AAAAAAAABAk/RFBmyp_bFYg/s320/pampa+080.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ficamos um bom tempo apreciando o silencio do cerro e as aves revoando na manhã revigorante. Lanchamos e seguinos o pedal até o meio dia quando por fim paramos num boteco no entroncamento da RS 160 com a BR 290.&lt;br /&gt;Na rodovia federal as elevações ficaram bem menos íngremes e o acostamento largo, o vento a favor ainda ajudou na propulsão das bikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RWMunEFI/AAAAAAAABAc/vTwUdhujOOM/s1600-h/pampa+085.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399764657544564818" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RWMunEFI/AAAAAAAABAc/vTwUdhujOOM/s320/pampa+085.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chegamos na entrada de Uruguaiana tomando coca-cola litro com dois pica-paus e falando sobre a cidade em si. Fomos direto à Ponte pois pretendiamos ficar alojados em Passo de los Libres na Argentina. Não iriam nos permitir passar a ponte pedalando conforme preza a lei mas conseguimos uma caminhoneta para transportá-las. O problema foi que o Alberto tinha deixado o documento de identidade em casa e é necessário CI para entrar na Argentina. Apesar das insistências o guarda fronteira não nos permitiu passar para o outro lado com o Alberto portando apenas carteira de motorista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RVo684KI/AAAAAAAABAU/-5pLew1CM5s/s1600-h/pampa+089.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399764647932649634" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RVo684KI/AAAAAAAABAU/-5pLew1CM5s/s320/pampa+089.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No centro da cidade ficamos num hotel relativamente bom, cada qual num quarto. O Alberto foi direto ao banheiro e sentou no vaso. Ali ficou por uma hora e não saiu nada para fora do intestino. Fui na farmácia e busquei rehidratante oral e supositórios de glicerina, passei tudo a ele por uma fresta da porta do banheiro. Disse que iria dar uma volta em Passo de Los Libres, pois eu tinha trazido a identidade, e queria conhecer o lado de alhá. Concluimos naquele momento que não acontece uma interrupção da produção de metabolitos, ou seja, fezes, e sim se o ciclista não se hidratar direito durante o pedal; as fezes secam e viram numa pedra, depois para sair é um parto.&lt;br /&gt;Pegueio um taxi até Passo de Los Libres, atravessei a ponte sem me pedirem nenhum documento. Poderiamos ter entrado dessa forma se soubessemos que na pratica pode ser diferente o acesso ao lado de alhá. Andei pelas ruas de Paso de Los Libres, o comércio todo fechado. Sábado enfim, ninguém é de ferro ou alumínio como as bikes e alguns ciclistas que não param por puro prazer de pedalar duro. Nada de especial naquela cidade, somente a diferença e aspécto mal cuidado e retrógrado em comparação com a bela Uruguaiana das largas avenidas arborizadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RVNrx04I/AAAAAAAABAM/-5lfAoSM8Ko/s1600-h/pampa+096.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399764640621253506" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_RVNrx04I/AAAAAAAABAM/-5lfAoSM8Ko/s320/pampa+096.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voltei logo ao Brasil num taxi argentino bem antigo com cintos de segurança remendados com fita isolante. O motorista falava portunhol e foi bem simpático dizendo ele mesmo que que nem todo argentino é prepotente entre estes ele mesmo, que ele amava o Brasil e as praias de Santa Catarina.&lt;br /&gt;De volta ao hotel encontrei o Alberto no banheiro na mesma posição acrocado fazendo um esforço danado.&lt;br /&gt;-Nada!&lt;br /&gt;-Bah! Relaxa e vamos jantar, depois tu continua.&lt;br /&gt;Ele preferiu ficar ali tentando. Eu estava começando a ficar preocupado já pensando em levá-lo num posto de saude ou pegarmos um õnibus de volta para Porto Alegre direto para o Pronto Socorro para desentupir o treco. Achei mesmo que o pedal estava acabando ali, que não iriamos mais adiante.&lt;br /&gt;Num restaurante com mesas e cadeiras nas calçadas, o que pareceu ser comum em Uruguaiana, pedi um bife a parmegiana e uma ceveja bem gelada. Quando me iam trazendo o bife o Alberto apareceu sorridente.&lt;br /&gt;-Nasceu a criança!&lt;br /&gt;-Que bom! O pedal continua amanhã cedo! Vamos a Itaqui! Toma um gole de cerveja para se hidratar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Videos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-f7ea94f284134120" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v4.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df7ea94f284134120%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D107DBFFEF9476FDF2539A8B5B6892265ABE60E8C.60B03E87B4AF8A5AEB5FB5CF2E3519DDD8A54447%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df7ea94f284134120%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DCT6OKS0-cNOHwNm4R0Kae374a7U&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v4.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Df7ea94f284134120%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D107DBFFEF9476FDF2539A8B5B6892265ABE60E8C.60B03E87B4AF8A5AEB5FB5CF2E3519DDD8A54447%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Df7ea94f284134120%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DCT6OKS0-cNOHwNm4R0Kae374a7U&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-681f9ba0e73805e8" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D681f9ba0e73805e8%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3DCAAB942407ACE739463583A4E4A70AD370C753A.40CB941DBA3FE9E054B1FB2F6692B6E2C1FFF398%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D681f9ba0e73805e8%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dwuw-9z6XpnE6qhdBcLkQnRt3Hno&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D681f9ba0e73805e8%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3DCAAB942407ACE739463583A4E4A70AD370C753A.40CB941DBA3FE9E054B1FB2F6692B6E2C1FFF398%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D681f9ba0e73805e8%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dwuw-9z6XpnE6qhdBcLkQnRt3Hno&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uruguaiana - Itaqui cities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We left at sunrise Quaraí, expecting to face another day of scorching heat without shade or those asphalts fresh water. But we had a pleasant surprise for the modification of relief. The heat has abated in the morning, we made nice stops on the hill proximidasde Jarau. Legend has it recorded by gaucho Lopes Neto, who lived there one a Moorish princess who had become a witch, and that would have been in an urn of Salamanca in Spain. This legend inspired to write Erico Verissimo shares of Time and Wind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;During that stretch Alberto said he was doing strenuous exercises such as doing some pedals, interrupted the production of matabolitos, everything being absorbed or reabsorbed by the body hungry for nutrients. Did not think about the whys and if that was true, was too hungry to think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We had a good time enjoying the silence of the hill and the birds darting in invigorating morning. We lunched and later pedal until noon when we finally stopped at a pub at the junction of SR road 160 with BR 290 road.In federal highway elevations were much less steep and shoulder width, tail wind but also helped to propel the bike.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We arrived at the entrance of Uruguaiana taking Coke with two liters woodpeckers and talking about the city itself. We went straight to the bridge because're meant to be housed in Passo de los Libres Argentina. Would not allow us to pass the bridge as cycling cherishes the law but we got a pickup truck to transport them. The problem was that Alberto had left his identity card at home and is required to enter Argentina CI. Despite the insistence of the border guard did not allow to pass to the other side with Alberto carrying only a driver's license.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-4252674128730217344?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/4252674128730217344/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=4252674128730217344' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4252674128730217344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4252674128730217344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html#4252674128730217344' title='Quaraí (RS) - Uruguaiana (RS)'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_SIQ2fuBI/AAAAAAAABA0/9UPeYRgyrnE/s72-c/pampa+072.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-5582889023936620676</id><published>2009-11-01T00:36:00.006-02:00</published><updated>2010-03-26T20:05:05.650-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Santana do Livramento (RS) - Quaraí (RS)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_JCEQrzlI/AAAAAAAABAE/Xr3of4X1xg4/s1600-h/pampa+008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399755515581156946" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_JCEQrzlI/AAAAAAAABAE/Xr3of4X1xg4/s400/pampa+008.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esse pedal da fronteira estava nos planos ha alguns anos. Constava em planilhas do excel elaboradas com esmero, com distâncias, tempos e material mais do que necessário, tudo detalhado em números. Era algo que tinha de ser feito algum dia, estava escrito que esse pedal iria sair do excel para a realidade cedo ou tarde. E assim com a aproximação do feriadão de finados sugeri esse roteiro-pedal ao Alberto, que sem titubear encarou o desafio. E passamos a nos preparar. Tirei as teias de aranha do alforje, e o engatei na bike... Bicicleta pronta, vontade inabalável... Vamos nessa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sws8H55NXOI/AAAAAAAABEM/OkKe-yZxkZg/s1600/pedal+fronteira.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 261px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407481884085935330" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sws8H55NXOI/AAAAAAAABEM/OkKe-yZxkZg/s400/pedal+fronteira.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O plano era sair de São Borja na fronteira com a Argentina e ir até Santana do Livramento na fronteira com o Uruguai pedalando preferencialmente por terras estrangeiras. Mas na última hora analisamos a altimetria e decidimos fazer o percurso inverso para economizar energia nas descidas.&lt;br /&gt;Então na quinta-feira a noite do dia 29 de outubro, por volta das 23 hs, depois de pedalarmos juntos 14 km desde a minha casa até o centro da cidade, estávamos eu e o Alberto na estação rodoviária de Porto Alegre embalando as bikes para colocá-las no bagageiro do ônibus da empresa Ouro e Prata que seguia para Santana do Livramento.&lt;br /&gt;Chegamos em Livramento as 5:30 hs de sexta-feira, montamos as bikes, e tomamos café na estação rodoviária. Deixamos a cidade as 6:30 hs pedalando na BR 293 plana, com longos retões, o sol estava nascendo e a previsão era de tempo bom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_H6vplOAI/AAAAAAAAA_s/QD5Kyot1dGE/s1600-h/pampa+021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399754290277726210" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_H6vplOAI/AAAAAAAAA_s/QD5Kyot1dGE/s320/pampa+021.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No primeiro turno do pedal não tivemos novidades, apenas pedalamos quase sem parar até as 11:30 hs, cerca de 70 km. Não havia nada digno de nota pelo caminho a não ser o deserto verde dos pampas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_ImZ2KWbI/AAAAAAAAA_8/bv-6aXiL5R4/s1600-h/pampa+017.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399755040339155378" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_ImZ2KWbI/AAAAAAAAA_8/bv-6aXiL5R4/s320/pampa+017.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nenhuma casa, nenhum posto de gasolina, vez por outra víamos estâncias longe longe no meio do campo, raramente um veículo passava por nós. Era um pedal no meio dum deserto verde... e por isso começou a nos faltar água. Cada qual havia levado cerca de dois litros de água, mas com o sol forte ela se foi rápido... decidimos economizar água em conjunto... juntar o que nos restava e racionar.&lt;br /&gt;Nem sequer sombra tinha... era só campo... nenhuma árvore... e o sol cada vez mais forte. Não tínhamos onde parar para descansar abrigados do sol. Surgiu um vento contra... e pedalávamos até nas descidas... potente sol a pino, e vento contra, falta de água e cansaço... faltavam 35 km...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_H5zyfWQI/AAAAAAAAA_k/8ZntsWcfInk/s1600-h/pampa+031.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399754274208962818" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_H5zyfWQI/AAAAAAAAA_k/8ZntsWcfInk/s320/pampa+031.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por volta do meio dia paramos num desfiladeiro e sentamos na beira do asfalto tentando pegar uma ponta de sombra que vinha duns galhos dum cinamomo mirrado. Ali tomamos alguns goles de água morna racionada e comemos algumas bolachas salgadas. Esse foi o nosso almoço.&lt;br /&gt;Continuamos o pedal a 10 km/h contra o vento... Não queríamos pegar água de banhado com receio de ficarmos doentes logo no inicio e comprometer a viagem toda. Meu pensamento foi totalmente direcionado a "como conseguir água potável", e assim todas as minhas preocupações mundanas desapareceram. E eu passei a ver o mundo de outra forma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_H4dcIvvI/AAAAAAAAA_c/pvQhcEdKt_4/s1600-h/pampa+036.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399754251029757682" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_H4dcIvvI/AAAAAAAAA_c/pvQhcEdKt_4/s320/pampa+036.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enxerguei uma fazenda um pouco próxima da estrada. Não tive duvidas de que deveríamos ir lá para procurar água. Passamos por um mata-burro podre... pedalamos numa estrada que parecia não ter sido usada ha anos, cheia de guanxumas... a fazenda parecia estar abandonada. Fomos nos aproximando e vi adiante da fazenda, adiante duma mangueira, um xiru a cavalo cavalgando com rapidez e frenesi. Ele nos viu e veio a galope na nossa direção, parecia assustado e curioso. De longe vi seus olhos esbugalhados brilharem de forma assustadora. No principio, sob as visões da endorfina, achei que o xiru tinha se transformado no deus egípcio anubis correndo no campo, mas depois vi que era um centauro pilchado a rigor, para o rigor do sol e a dura lida de campo real, bombacha, botas, chapéu surrados, não estava fantasiado. O cavalo parou de repente na nossa frente e ficou rodopiando inquieto, a cabeça do centauro tinha um ar sério e desconfiado, senti um certo poder neles, uma certa imponência, tive receio do gaudério, ele parecia agressivo, como se estivessem ele e o cavalo vindo duma batalha e fossem mesmo um só, um centauro sério e inquieto perigoso e pronto para o ataque, e levava uma adaga atravessada nas costas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_FmPE7NiI/AAAAAAAAA_M/30O-_lK7XYY/s1600-h/pampa+041.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399751738913404450" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_FmPE7NiI/AAAAAAAAA_M/30O-_lK7XYY/s320/pampa+041.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Falamos que precisávamos de água, que éramos simples ciclistas malucos; ele desceu do cavalo e amarrou o bicho num poste, e se transfigurou numa pessoa hospitaleira ao extremo, bondosa, prestativa, apesar dos olhos brilhantes vermelhos esbugalhados do sol. Ficou feliz em nos servir água gelada. Notamos que haviam mais pessoas dentro da casa... era a mulher dele e alguns filhos. Ele era peão de estância, lidava com gado e reparava a fazenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faltavam apenas 30 km para chegarmos a Quaraí... entendi o significado da palavra quaraí... que vem de quarar que é expor a roupa ao sol para branqueamento da mesma... e haja sol! Vento contra, cansaço, sol e deserto... esses foram os 30 km mais sofridos da minha história de cicloturista. Decidimos parar a cada 10 km... se achássemos sombra... mas o vento forte contra e o cansaço nos parava a cada 2 km. Uma insolação contida que nem um frasco inteiro de protetor solar fator 50, capacete, luvas e óculos escuros não resolveram.&lt;br /&gt;Depois de muito sofrimento naqueles simples 30 km que pareciam 300 e onde eu comemorava os dams (decâmetros) pedalados no ciclocomputador ao invés dos kms, avistamos a cidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paramos num posto de gasolina na entrada da cidade e pedimos um litro de coca-cola bem gelado...! Aquele litrão parecia uma miragem... As gotículas ao redor do frasco... o borbulhar do gás... um simples litro de coca-cola se transformou num motivo enorme de felicidade e satisfação. Os problemas triviais da vida ficaram no deserto atravessado. Estávamos em Quaraí!&lt;br /&gt;Eram três horas da tarde e fomos para o centro procurar hotel. Um hotel de esquina semelhante a aqueles hotéis baratos de filmes americanos filmados na América Latina especialmente na Bolívia nos serviu de alento. Apesar da murrinha forte de cigarro impregnando as paredes desbotadas do quarto do hotel, consegui meio que dormir um sono acordado. Levantei as seis horas e fui procurar uma loja de bicicletas para comprar uma câmara... ao sair para a rua parecia que eu estava dentro dum forno de microondas iluminado com trocentos raios lazers... foi então que pensei em desistir da segunda etapa da viagem de 4 etapas, eu senti que seria cozido na estrada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_FlQCgwSI/AAAAAAAAA-8/KvQzOoSOCsE/s1600-h/pampa+053.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399751721991848226" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_FlQCgwSI/AAAAAAAAA-8/KvQzOoSOCsE/s320/pampa+053.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao escurecer e já convicto da desistência da viagem fomos jantar em Artigas, cidadezinha Uruguaia muito aconchegante. Ruas e calçadas largas, não dava a impressão de estarmos onde estávamos, tinha ares de metrópole e e um astral de anos setenta. Jantamos um bifão com com um litro de cerveja numa das muitas mesas de restaurantes das calçadas de Artigas, e ali foi que decidimos seguir pedalando na manha seguinte, sob chuva ou sol, tanto faria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_Fk74IjzI/AAAAAAAAA-0/kYAGqD8RaOA/s1600-h/pampa+061.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand"

/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Santana do Livramento city - Quaraí city&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;This pedal on the border was on our plans for years. Appeared in excel sheets prepared with care, with distances, times and material more than necessary, all detailed in numbers. It was something that had to be done some day, it was written that this pedal would go to reality sooner or later. And so with the approach of the holidays of Memorial Day suggested this script pedal to Alberto, who without hesitation took on the challenge. And we began to prepare. I took off the cobwebs from my knapsack, and hitched the bike ... Bike ready, unshaken will ... Let's go. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The plan was to leave San Borja on the border with Argentina and go to Santana do Livramento the border with Uruguay cycling preferably by foreign lands. But at the last minute after the analyze of altimetry we decided to make the return trip to economize energy on downhill. Then on Thursday night of Oct. 29, around 23 pm, after pedaling together 14 km from my house to the downtown, Alberto and I were at the bus station in Porto Alegre packing the place for bikes them in the trunk of the bus empesa Gold and Silver headed for Santana do Livramento. We arrived at the Livramento 5:30 pm Friday, rode the bikes, and we had coffee at the bus station. We left the city at 6:30 pm in BR 293 riding flat, with long straight, the sun was rising and the forecast was for fine weather. In the first round of the pedal had no news, just cycled almost continuously until 11:30 pm, about 50 miles. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;There was nothing remarkable in the way unless the green desert of the pampas. No house, no gas station, occasionally we saw farms far away in the middle of the field, rarely a vehicle passed us. It was a pedal in the middle of a desert green ... and so I started to miss the water. Each had taken about two liters of water, but with the strong sun it was fast ... decided to save water together ... join and that we had rationing. Nor shadow had ... field was only we saw ... no tree ... and the sun getting stronger. We had no where to stop to rest sheltered from the sun. There was a wind against ... We cycled up and going downhill ... powerful vertical sun, and against wind, water shortages and fatigue ... missing 35 km ... Around noon we stopped at a gorge and sat on the edge of the pavement trying to get a hint of shadow coming duns branches of a withered cinnamon. There took a few sips of warm water rationed and eat some crackers. This was our lunch. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We continued to pedal at 8 mph against the wind ... Did not want to get splashed with water from fear of illness early on and compromise the entire trip. My mind was totally focused on "how to get water," and so all my worldly procupações disappeared. And I began to see the world differently. I saw a farm a little close to the road. I had no doubt that we should go there to look for water. We went through a cattle guard rotten ... cycled on a road that seemed to have been used for many years, full of sida ... the farm seemed to be abandoned. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We were getting closer and saw the farm below, ahead of a hose, a man horseback riding with speed and frenzy. He saw us and came galloping towards us, looked scared and curious. From a distance I saw his bulging eyes shine so scary. In the beginning, in the visions of endorphins, I thought the man had become the Egyptian god Anubis running in the field, but then I saw it was a centaur pilchar indeed, for the rigors of harsh sun and read the actual field, breeches, boots hat shabby, was not dressed for fun. The horse suddenly stopped in front of us and was restless spinning, the head of the centaur had a serious and suspicious, I felt a certain power in them, a certain grandeur, I was afraid of man, it seemed aggressive, as if he and his horse coming a battle and were even one, a centaur serious and dangerous restless and ready to attack, and carried a dagger on his back. We talk we needed water, they were only mad cyclists, he dismounted and tied the horse a pole, and was transformed into a welcoming people to the extreme, kind, helpful, despite the bright red eyes bulging from the sun. Was happy to serve us ice water. We noted that there were more people inside the house ... was his wife and some children. He was a pawn of the farm, dealing with cattle and repaired the farm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;There were only 30 km to reach Quaraí ... understand the meaning of the word Quaraí ... that comes from quara that is exposed to the sun machine to launder the same ... and there is sun! Against wind, fatigue, sun and desert ... these were the 30 km further suffered in all my history of ciclotourist. We decided to stop every 8 miles... if we found shade ... but the strong wind against fatigue and stopping every 1 mile. A stroke that contained not a whole bottle of factor 50 sunscreen, helmet, gloves and sunglasses not solved. After much suffering in those mere 25 miles to 250 and looked where I was celebrating the dams (Yardsticks) cycled in Cycle instead of kms, we saw the city. We stopped at a gas station at the entrance of the city and asked for a liter of coca-cola and ice cream ...! That Litraa seemed a mirage ... The droplets around the bottle ... bubbling gas ... a liter of coca-cola has become a subject of great happiness and satisfaction. The problems were trivial of life in the desert crossing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We were in Quaraí! It was three o'clock in the afternoon and went to the search center hotel. A corner hotel hotes similar to those from Holywood movies fillm in Latin America especially in Bolivia was our breath. Despite the strong cigarette murrinha impregnating the faded walls of the hotel room, I managed to sleep through a waking sleep. I got up at six hours and I did find a bike shop to buy a camera ... to go out on the street looked like I was inside a microwave oven with bright rays ou thousands of lazers ... was then that I thought of giving up the second leg of the journey of 4 steps, I felt it would be cooked on the road. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;At dusk and already convinced of the withdrawal of the trip we were dining in Artigas, Uruguay very cozy town. Streets and wide sidewalks, did not give the impression that we are where we were, had the air of a city and and mood of the seventies. We had dinner with a Bifão with a pint of beer in one of the many dining tables on sidewalks throughout Artivas, and there was that decided to go riding the next morning, rain or shine, both would.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-5582889023936620676?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/5582889023936620676/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=5582889023936620676' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/5582889023936620676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/5582889023936620676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html#5582889023936620676' title='Santana do Livramento (RS) - Quaraí (RS)'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Su_JCEQrzlI/AAAAAAAABAE/Xr3of4X1xg4/s72-c/pampa+008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-2820264949617685231</id><published>2009-10-19T20:20:00.008-02:00</published><updated>2009-11-24T00:00:44.066-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Nova Prata</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZTudK2T7I/AAAAAAAAA-s/4h4RSkPyhgs/s1600-h/npta+089.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 266px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397093261019336626" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZTudK2T7I/AAAAAAAAA-s/4h4RSkPyhgs/s400/npta+089.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procurando fazer um pedal leve e ao mesmo tempo visitar a minha amiga Taiana, eu e o Alberto fomos a Nova Prata, municipio próximo a Bento Gonçalves.&lt;br /&gt;Saimos motorizados de Porto Alegre na direção da serra gaúcha via Bom Princípio, cruzamos a ponte sobre o rio das Antas.&lt;br /&gt;Chegamos na casa da Taiana ao meio-dia onde ela nos esperava com um chimarrão preparado a contento e fazia um almoço à moda italiana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZJzG2yS4I/AAAAAAAAA8s/Noei1x6e9hk/s1600-h/npta+043.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397082345812675458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZJzG2yS4I/AAAAAAAAA8s/Noei1x6e9hk/s320/npta+043.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A conversa durante o almoço estava tão agradável e profunda que quase passamos a tarde de prosa ao invés de pedalar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZLGVJ1mwI/AAAAAAAAA88/JVWvYurjdbQ/s1600-h/npta+049.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 213px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397083775579822850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZLGVJ1mwI/AAAAAAAAA88/JVWvYurjdbQ/s320/npta+049.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalamos em direção ao centro de Nova Prata onde tiramos algumas fotos. Nova Prata é uma das mais prósperas cidade que ja vi nos pedais por esses pagos, um verdadeiro canteiro de obras com dezenas de prédios residenciais modernos recentemente construídos ou em construção.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZL7TVR3CI/AAAAAAAAA9E/mOqzOQ03Z58/s1600-h/npta+050.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397084685624007714" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZL7TVR3CI/AAAAAAAAA9E/mOqzOQ03Z58/s320/npta+050.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da zona urbana de Nova Prata fomos em direção ao município de Protásio Alves. Depois de alguns kilômetros sobre paralelepípedos entramos numa via asfaltada que vai para o norte e que em seguida se transforma numa estrada bucólica de chão batido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZOPsFIWdI/AAAAAAAAA9c/0MqSLJ5b7hs/s1600-h/npta+053.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397087234887801298" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZOPsFIWdI/AAAAAAAAA9c/0MqSLJ5b7hs/s320/npta+053.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali pedalamos é cruzamos o Rio da Prata até alcançarmos a estrada principal que leva a Protásio Alves. Mais alguns km pedalados e estávamos na pequena cidade que praticamente se resumia numa avenida larga em cujo final ficava a igreja.&lt;br /&gt;Um refrigerante com batatas fritas num boteco antigo e recomeçamos o pedal de volta, dessa vez por toda a extensão da estrada principal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZPOg1NHII/AAAAAAAAA9s/yJykShgvTuI/s1600-h/npta+066.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397088314199972994" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZPOg1NHII/AAAAAAAAA9s/yJykShgvTuI/s320/npta+066.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um bom trecho de asfalto em declive até a Cascata da Usina já no município de Nova Prata. Depois de algumas fotografias cruzamos a ponte sobre o rio da prata e começamos a subir sem parar por entre uma estrada assustadora no meio do mato cerrado na encosta dos morros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZQSAmPNMI/AAAAAAAAA90/01AodFOkxA8/s1600-h/npta+071.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397089473778365634" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZQSAmPNMI/AAAAAAAAA90/01AodFOkxA8/s320/npta+071.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZQSmDILGI/AAAAAAAAA98/3GNc_3zMBU4/s1600-h/npta+075.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 213px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397089483831651426" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZQSmDILGI/AAAAAAAAA98/3GNc_3zMBU4/s320/npta+075.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de muito subir voltamos aos paralelepípedos onde dois pastores alemães insistiram em me perseguir por um bom trecho a mais de 30 km/h. Nessa velocidade fica bem dificil para os cães ajustarem a coordenação motora de modo que corram e mordam ao mesmo tempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZRsjsWU6I/AAAAAAAAA-E/ylUoYsH5nIU/s1600-h/npta+083.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397091029387465634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZRsjsWU6I/AAAAAAAAA-E/ylUoYsH5nIU/s320/npta+083.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com um grito estridente o Alberto que vinha atrás de mim espantou os cães já exaustos da corrida, para as valetas laterais. Assim seguimos o pedal passando por um CTG onde havia um rodeio e a gauchada paramentada com roupas típicas e montados a cavalo tentaram jogar corrida conosco. Fomos ultrapassados pelos cavalos suados na subida mas no que ficou plano deixamos a gauchada no pó.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZRs2ZsSdI/AAAAAAAAA-M/GJmZ2hVtpFs/s1600-h/npta+086.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397091034409486802" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZRs2ZsSdI/AAAAAAAAA-M/GJmZ2hVtpFs/s320/npta+086.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZSaK6BPYI/AAAAAAAAA-c/6Ub9V9JugOc/s1600-h/npta+094+(2).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 218px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397091813007900034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SuZSaK6BPYI/AAAAAAAAA-c/6Ub9V9JugOc/s320/npta+094+(2).jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de um descidão retornamos ao centro da cidade e depois à casa da Taiana. Encontramos ela no caminho vindo da praça central onde segundo ela os moradores se reunem nos fins de tarde para tomar chimarrão e prosear. Ela vinha com a térmica e a cuia na mão junto com mais duas amigas gringas como ela. Depois de um mate começamos a desmontar e acondicionar as bikes no caro.&lt;br /&gt;Foram chegando mais amigas na casa da Taiana e tomamos um café colonial conversando sobre os mais diversos assuntos. Saimos dali mais tarde do que o previsto e chegamos em Porto Alegre depois da meia-noite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total Pedalado: 42 km&lt;br /&gt;Vel. Máx.

Era um vilarejo proximo a Lajeado, no derredor do qual eu ja havia pedalado ha anos na velha sundown full. Naquela ocasião arrebentou o cabo do câmbio traseiro e eu tive de ir até Lajeado levar a bike para conserto. Não desisti e no dia seguinte comecei a empreitada de subida dos morros.&lt;br /&gt;Quase paramos no nosso retorno do salto para pedalar um pouco ja que o pedal por lá tinha sido mirrado. Mas como já haviamos pedalado por lugares antes nunca pedalados, resolvemos pedalar outro dia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyZ6pa5V1I/AAAAAAAAA78/B1KZy4mZnsw/s1600-h/DSC07010.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371837688376285010" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyZ6pa5V1I/AAAAAAAAA78/B1KZy4mZnsw/s320/DSC07010.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assim fizemos depois de um mês, partindo motorizados de Porto Alegre indo até o pedágio caro da BR onde nos abastecemos de agua mineral e estacionamos o carro. Eram mais ou menso 13 hs quando começamos a pedalar na direção de vila fão passando por baixo da ponte sobre o arroio Fão&lt;br /&gt;O trecho em questão não era dos mais amigáveis, tive a impressão de que o pedal na sundown ful havia sido bem mais fácil. Sabia que o pior haveria de chegar. A subida vertical começaria a partir de Vila Fão rumo à estrada que leva a Progresso. Pedalamos com calma num sobe e desce parando seguidamente para tirar fotografias... entramos numa estrada vicinal lamacenta na beira do rio onde embarramos bastante as rodas das bikes e os tênis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyZ566vxcI/AAAAAAAAA70/LpMI47wLRtQ/s1600-h/DSC07013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371837675893409218" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyZ566vxcI/AAAAAAAAA70/LpMI47wLRtQ/s320/DSC07013.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo ao chegar em Vila Fão fomos para um bar onde tomamos um refrigerante e um pessoal morador da região que estava por lá veio nos fazer perguntas. De onde vínhamos, para onde íamos... -Vamos pedalar nos morros e quanto mais inclinado for melhor.&lt;br /&gt;Eles nos deram uma porção de dicas que não sei se foram seguidas. Ao final da explicação do povo, pegamos o velho caminho pedreira no qual eu havia pedalado ha 5 anos na velha sundow full e onde havia arrebentado o cabo do câmbio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX-kxYtiI/AAAAAAAAA7s/J_JX4xa6j20/s1600-h/DSC07022.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371835556824659490" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX-kxYtiI/AAAAAAAAA7s/J_JX4xa6j20/s320/DSC07022.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De Vila fão até a RS fou uma tortura. A subida era praticamente ininterrupta e de grande inclinação. Subimos 650 m em uns 18 km, passando por chácaras, plantações, matagais, carros de boi... Ao nos aproximarmos da RS paramos debaixo dum é de bergamoteira para nos nutrirmos e matarmos a sede.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX92XxfmI/AAAAAAAAA7k/AB8eDKL5RII/s1600-h/DSC07025.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371835544369200738" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX92XxfmI/AAAAAAAAA7k/AB8eDKL5RII/s320/DSC07025.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX8y5jDSI/AAAAAAAAA7U/H9eCLr57yv0/s1600-h/DSC07037.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371835526257249570" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX8y5jDSI/AAAAAAAAA7U/H9eCLr57yv0/s320/DSC07037.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A RS é um asfalto estreito com pouco movimento. Paramos no caminho para apreciar as esculturas de pedra do seu José, que falou bastante sobre como havia feito tudo aquilo com as pedras que encontrou no local. Ao fim do trecho asfaltado e quase na BR tivemos o prazer de um descidão repleto de curvas o que nos encheu de adrenalina. Ali naquela mesma descida uma vez eu havia quebrado me record de velocidade usando a sundow full. Cheguei aos 69 km/h próximo à BR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX8R7ys3I/AAAAAAAAA7M/D5Ol2PEd4_Y/s1600-h/DSC07045.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371835517408293746" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SoyX8R7ys3I/AAAAAAAAA7M/D5Ol2PEd4_Y/s320/DSC07045.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De volta ao pedágio analisamos o pedal de forma positiva, de bom tamanho e apropriado para nosso preparo físico atual. Colocamos as bikes no caro e retornamos à Porto Alegre, chegando à noite com uma sensação de termos feito um pedal gratificante e relativamente perfeito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-7a14705df4c60619" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v14.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D7a14705df4c60619%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D5C97536D0D6E9DB8FEE8697F78EF99A7BBB2F55F.7AB4AED0995022B991487FDE554D77ED24008067%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7a14705df4c60619%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dk5Vhbk_2q-CCLhfn5jfD9u7w6zs&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v14.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D7a14705df4c60619%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D5C97536D0D6E9DB8FEE8697F78EF99A7BBB2F55F.7AB4AED0995022B991487FDE554D77ED24008067%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D7a14705df4c60619%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dk5Vhbk_2q-CCLhfn5jfD9u7w6zs&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-4285037388082424042?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=7a14705df4c60619&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/4285037388082424042/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=4285037388082424042' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4285037388082424042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4285037388082424042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html#4285037388082424042' title='Vila Fão'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Soyasrl0N4I/AAAAAAAAA8k/DapzFgQeQnU/s72-c/DSC07005.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-3441629406830002262</id><published>2009-07-05T23:10:00.009-03:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T06:33:48.067-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Salto do Yucumã</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGJ90rGBJI/AAAAAAAAA7E/KGdiQUjLmDU/s1600-h/ykm+046.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355213127124649106" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGJ90rGBJI/AAAAAAAAA7E/KGdiQUjLmDU/s400/ykm+046.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dentre os lugares que estivemos nos pedais por estes pagos, o salto do yucumã sem dúvida destaca-se pela peculiaridade de ser um acidente geográfico curioso. Toda a extensão em largura do rio Uruguai cai lateralmente e de repente numa fossa de 2 km de extensão, uns 15 m de largura e 100 m de profundidade. Não se percebe a magnitude desse acidente porque a fissura na rocha está repleta de água até a borda, mas se por algum recurso artificial ou natural as águas fossem desviadas e o abismo esvaziado, tomaríamos plena consciência de estarmos à beira de um buraco longitudinal da altura de um prédio de 30 andares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGF6A9nZOI/AAAAAAAAA6c/BJQfzOz-idM/s1600-h/ykm+013.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355208663657571554" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGF6A9nZOI/AAAAAAAAA6c/BJQfzOz-idM/s320/ykm+013.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há cerca de dez anos eu observava o salto nos mapas de papel. E foi na através da propaganda de uma jornalista local que minha curiosidade sobre a região do noroeste do estado gaúcho se inflamou. Então decidi ir até lá para conhecer a fissura, entre outros pontos turísticos de menor importância.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGI447CgSI/AAAAAAAAA60/MBB-FEh91NI/s1600-h/ykm+051.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGF5rLdyhI/AAAAAAAAA6U/4ABOTOQXs_4/s1600-h/ykm+020.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355208657810082322" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGF5rLdyhI/AAAAAAAAA6U/4ABOTOQXs_4/s320/ykm+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partimos motorizados de Porto Alegre eu e o grande companheiro de pedal e amigo Alberto até a cidade de Tenente Portela. Percorremos 500 km de carro até chegarmos lá com uma vontade imensa de pedalar. Ficamos no Salto Grande Turis Hotel e já de inicio nos informaram que era proibido pedalar dentro do parque estadual do yucuma, para evitar que ciclistas desavisados fossem comidos por onças ou mesmo sucuris caso parassem no caminho para trocar pneu ou beber gatorade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGJfV7bsqI/AAAAAAAAA68/a-U6vdmt2jQ/s1600-h/ykm+051.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355212603475604130" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGJfV7bsqI/AAAAAAAAA68/a-U6vdmt2jQ/s320/ykm+051.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGExZpAAhI/AAAAAAAAA6E/Sf-VRJB1u1k/s1600-h/ykm+050.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355207416151540242" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGExZpAAhI/AAAAAAAAA6E/Sf-VRJB1u1k/s320/ykm+050.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na manha seguinte o proprietário do hotel nos confirmou a impossibilidade de se pedalar dentro do parque, e também informou que era impossível se ir da portaria do parque ao rio Uruguai a pé, pois assim facilitaria o ataque das onças ou “mão peladas” a espreita no mato procurando alimentos. Resolvemos ir de carro levando as bicicletas conosco, para tentarmos convencer o guarda florestal de que ciclistas tem pernas duras e não são um bom prato para os animais selvagens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGEwXriocI/AAAAAAAAA5s/NZaqc4qI-z4/s1600-h/ykm+061.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355207398445457858" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGEwXriocI/AAAAAAAAA5s/NZaqc4qI-z4/s320/ykm+061.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas não fomos persuasivos o suficiente, então rodamos até as proximidades do rio de carro e ali pegamos uma das bicicletas para podermos ter o gosto de pedalar nas pedras fazendo algo tipo trilha em terreno considerado de dificuldade média onde nunca ninguém havia pedalado antes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCumEtWeI/AAAAAAAAA5k/mPo5DxtC8ls/s1600-h/ykm+077.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355205168926120418" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCumEtWeI/AAAAAAAAA5k/mPo5DxtC8ls/s320/ykm+077.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um local de certa forma tenebroso e deserto. Depois de cerca de duas horas de caminhada por ali deixei nas pedras os percalços sugados pelo buraco fundo cheio de água até aborda. Saímos daquele lugar com a intenção de nunca mais voltar visto que era de certa forma de difícil acesso e distante da capital. Enfim, um fim de mundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCuEA5rvI/AAAAAAAAA5c/nk_XfQ1WC_g/s1600-h/ykm+081.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355205159783345906" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCuEA5rvI/AAAAAAAAA5c/nk_XfQ1WC_g/s320/ykm+081.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seguimos em direção a Frederico Westfalen onde pretenderíamos passar a noite. Era cerca de 16 hs quando chegamos no Hotel Mane. Largamos nossas sacolas e fomos pedalar até a localidade chamada Faguense. Com cinco quadras de pedal e no inicio da primeira lomba forte arrebentou a correia da minha bicicleta. Demos sorte porque o incidente ocorreu bem em frente à melhor oficina de bicicletas da região. Só que ela estava fechada. Mas nos disseram que o dono estava num bar ali perto. O proprietário Mario teve o inconveniente de abrir a loja, consertar a correia e ainda não quis cobrar nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCtnTR_WI/AAAAAAAAA5M/Mqta6RLckFE/s1600-h/ykm+114.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355205152075808098" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCtnTR_WI/AAAAAAAAA5M/Mqta6RLckFE/s320/ykm+114.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo mais estávamos pegando um descidão de paralelepípedo até o campus da UNIJUI e uma cascata do parque Faguense. Continuamos por uma estrada estreita de chão batido onde quase que dou de cara com um arame farpado atravessado no caminho. Retornamos à rodovia e onde pedalamos um bom trecho para chegar de volta à cidade, loucos de fome. Fomos a uma pizzaria que ficava ao lado do hotel onde comemos um rodízio e depois fomos descansar para a longa viagem de retorno à capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCtz7D7lI/AAAAAAAAA5U/zkr0t2MDHmg/s1600-h/ykm+113.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355205155463884370" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGCtz7D7lI/AAAAAAAAA5U/zkr0t2MDHmg/s320/ykm+113.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Videos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-85de5c4d4bb78625" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D85de5c4d4bb78625%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D21CED3F85491D593A2B36E233F9191ECFA89FABA.27C281611BA883554095A4EAB32FD72012D5438E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D85de5c4d4bb78625%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DildNSdT-6gd8vPbzRfO9rn-3SRw&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D85de5c4d4bb78625%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D21CED3F85491D593A2B36E233F9191ECFA89FABA.27C281611BA883554095A4EAB32FD72012D5438E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D85de5c4d4bb78625%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DildNSdT-6gd8vPbzRfO9rn-3SRw&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-d3b78e6a90cbf9b4" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dd3b78e6a90cbf9b4%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D374E8F642A1B7A63BC9AB63EAC2F400ADC00F1B2.18997F41355C207E5A56D61C655B8271E33EE45E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dd3b78e6a90cbf9b4%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DjJHQPYF89O5TLUOKK-HtbF0pnrk&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dd3b78e6a90cbf9b4%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D374E8F642A1B7A63BC9AB63EAC2F400ADC00F1B2.18997F41355C207E5A56D61C655B8271E33EE45E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dd3b78e6a90cbf9b4%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DjJHQPYF89O5TLUOKK-HtbF0pnrk&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais informações:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.turismoyucuma.com.br/site/index.php?pg=principal"&gt;http://www.turismoyucuma.com.br/site/index.php?pg=principal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Yucumã Fall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Among the places that we've been for these pedals, the Yucumã fall certainly stands out for the peculiarity of being a curious accident of geography. The entire length of the width of the Uruguay River falls sideways and suddenly a pit of 2 km in length, about 15 m wide and 100 m depth. They don´t realize the magnitude of the accident because the cleft in the rock is full of water to the edge, but if by any artificial or natural resource waters were diverted and emptied pit, we would fully aware that we are on the verge of a longitudinal hole height a building of 30 floors. About ten years I watched the leap from paper maps. And it was through the propaganda of a local journalist that my curiosity about the region of northwestern Rio Grande do Sul state ignited. So I decided to go there to see the fissure, among other sights of lesser importance. We started motorized from Porto Alegre city, me and the great companion friend Alberto to the city of Tenente Portela. We traveled 500 km driving to get there with an urge to ride. We stayed at the Hotel Salto Grande Turis already beginning and told us it was forbidden to ride into the state park Yucumã to prevent unsuspecting cyclists were eaten by jaguars or anacondas case stop on the way to changing a wheel or drink gatorade. The next morning the owner of the hotel confirmed that it was impossible to ride in the park, and also said it was impossible to go from the park entrance to the Uruguay River walking, as this would facilitate the attack of ounces or "hand peeled" lurking the woods looking for food. We decided to go by car taking the bikes with us, to try to convince the warden that cyclists have legs stiff and are not a good food for wildlife. But we were not persuasive enough, then we run up to the vicinity of the car there and got one of the bikes to have the pleasure of riding on the rocks doing something like tracks on land considered of medium difficulty where no one had ever cycled before. A site somewhat dark and deserted, after about two hours walking around there let the rocks suck my troubles to the deep hole full of water. We left that place with the intention of never coming back because it was somewhat difficult to reach and far from the capital. It was something like the end of the world. We continued toward Frederico Westfalen where we intented stay the night. It was about 16 pm when we arrived at the Hotel Mane. We dropped our bags and we were cycling to the place called Faguense. With five blocks of the pedal at the beginning of the first strong hill the belt broke on my bike. We were lucky because the incident occurred right in front of the best bike shop in the region. But it was closed. We were told that the owner was in a nearby bar. The owner Mario had the disadvantage of opening the shop, fix the belt and still would not charge anything. Soon we were taking a big descent cobbled to the campus UNIJUI and a waterfall park Faguense. We continued in a narrow road of packed dirt where I almost ran into a barbed wire that crossed the road. We return to the highway where we ride and a relatively long way to get back to the city, mad with hunger. We went to a pizzeria that was next to the hotel where we ate pizza and then we went rest for the long return trip to the capital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-3441629406830002262?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=2c2541367d12662b&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=85de5c4d4bb78625&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=d3b78e6a90cbf9b4&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/3441629406830002262/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=3441629406830002262' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3441629406830002262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3441629406830002262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html#3441629406830002262' title='Salto do Yucumã'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SlGJ90rGBJI/AAAAAAAAA7E/KGdiQUjLmDU/s72-c/ykm+046.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-239028384599134634</id><published>2009-06-09T13:16:00.029-03:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T19:10:51.658-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Mariana Pimentel - RS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6fNxyDl4I/AAAAAAAAA4k/FY4MMCy94lg/s1600-h/MarPim+jun+09+011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345384866785761154" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6fNxyDl4I/AAAAAAAAA4k/FY4MMCy94lg/s400/MarPim+jun+09+011.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saímos motorizados de Porto Alegre em direção a Mariana Pimentel-RS por volta das 11 hs.

Vi dentes relampeando numa briga de cuscos homérica, e um barulho de rosnar horrível e assustador como se fossem trovões. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sem nos demorarmos na contemplação da peleia, aproveitamos para fugir dali pedalando forte numa subida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6PGF70UbI/AAAAAAAAA2U/ICB0YUp1T-E/s1600-h/MarPim+jun+09+082.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345367142570414514" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6PGF70UbI/AAAAAAAAA2U/ICB0YUp1T-E/s320/MarPim+jun+09+082.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois do cerro negro, a cascata do chicão, e a pedra equilibrada, faltava a cascata do português. E já estávamos exaustos com apenas 30 km de pedal sobe-desce.&lt;br /&gt;Apesar de levarmos um GPS que apontava sempre para a cascata, não achávamos caminho pedalável até ela. Enquanto meu companheiro foi pedir informações sobre como chegar na cascata, me escorei na bike na beira da estrada poeirenta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si7RvgTQwXI/AAAAAAAAA40/Se6rwr1865A/s1600-h/MarPim+jun+09+083.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345440421790138738" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si7RvgTQwXI/AAAAAAAAA40/Se6rwr1865A/s320/MarPim+jun+09+083.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seja pelo cansaço, seja pela preguiça, perdi o equilíbrio e percebi que estava caindo abraçado com a bike. De repente e por instinto dei uma cambalhota por cima da bicicleta e duma valeta, um movimento complicado que aprendi nos cursos de aikidô, mas caí ileso, ficando coberto de pó. Meu companheiro gritou “-Como tu fez isso?" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Eu respondi que aquela pirueta era apenas uma simples memória corporal das aulas de aikidô, que freqüentei não para aprender a me defender, mas sim para aprender a cair tombos de bicicleta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6PFUH_JQI/AAAAAAAAA2E/eqjMPncwIE4/s1600-h/MarPim+jun+09+094.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345367129199682818" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6PFUH_JQI/AAAAAAAAA2E/eqjMPncwIE4/s320/MarPim+jun+09+094.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6PFBDdIKI/AAAAAAAAA18/jV8Ia85lcXw/s1600-h/MarPim+jun+09+095.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345367124080402594" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6PFBDdIKI/AAAAAAAAA18/jV8Ia85lcXw/s320/MarPim+jun+09+095.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para completar o pedal fomos até a cascata do português.

We stopped for a lunch in the restaurant in BR 116 road in the same restaurant where we had lunched six years ago when we made a trip betweenTapes and Porto Alegre. Around 13 pm we were on site, ready to pedal that would be a climb to the black hill, visit the stone balanced and cascades of Chicão and Portuguese. Go up the hill apparently would be the hardest part, as it was early afternoon we started towards the top, facing the challenge early. But the pedal was a centripetal spiral that never came to the center, and ended in a crop of potatoes. We concluded in practice and in theory that the top was virtually inaccessible to cyclists. With 13 km running in the spiral, we started toward the stone balanced by a dusty road in good condition, smooth as asphalt, but style roller coaster. On the road, 3 km from the city, we took the time to visit the waterfall Chicão. More about seven kilometers we arrived near the balanced rock, with many dogs after us. We went through a gate and a pig sty, a foot on the grass, up the stone. Without doubt it was at least something a little different than we are accustomed to see. It was like a huge cyclists helmet and pointed, balanced on a saddle of rock. Back to dogs in the vicinity of the stone balanced they withdrew to pursue the bicycle and fled before us, because we had to open the gate to drop the bike and walk. Some dogs feel more attracted by the whole bike/rider than only by cyclists, they scare them, maybe the tights, shiny helmets, sunglasses and walking robotic because of slippers. But back to the city about four big dogs, which apparently did not distinguish between bike, cyclist or the whole thing, came running to us to bite if possible our shiny helmets. Luckily one crashed in other in the other, and falling out among themselves. I saw a row of teeth shinning and a horrible sound like a thunder. Without delay in contemplation of the fight we took the opportunity to run away in a strong cycling in a hill. After the Black Hill, the cascade of Chicão and balanced stone, missing the cascade of Portuguese. And we were yet exhausted with only 30 km of up-down pedal. Despite taking a GPS that always pointed to the waterfall we didn´t find cycled roads to there.&lt;br /&gt;While my partner was asking about the location of the waterfall, I scored in the the bike in the dusty roadside. Whether the fatigue is the sloth, lost the balance and I realized I was falling with bike and everything. Suddenly and instinctively I took a tumble over the bike and the ditch, a move I learned in complicated courses of Aikido, I took a tumble over the bike and fell unharmed but covered with dust. My companion shouted "-How did you do that?”&lt;br /&gt;I replied that this stunt was just a simple body memory of the lessons of Aikido, which I took not to defend me but to learn how to fall down from bicycles. To complete the pedal we went to the cascade of Portuguese. If the trip was in the dusk, the tour was under the shadow of a full moon. Pedal at night and without spotlight, on a cold night and a large road, which seemed never to reach the destination ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-239028384599134634?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=a579375656e3e358&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=f095ca776a7be763&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/239028384599134634/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=239028384599134634' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/239028384599134634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/239028384599134634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html#239028384599134634' title='Mariana Pimentel - RS'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Si6fNxyDl4I/AAAAAAAAA4k/FY4MMCy94lg/s72-c/MarPim+jun+09+011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-8214514325933087470</id><published>2009-05-17T22:00:00.005-03:00</published><updated>2009-06-10T19:05:44.877-03:00</updated><title type='text'>São Sebastião do Caí</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SinxRJ-F6OI/AAAAAAAAA1k/R-2wqi9IB8M/s1600-h/ssci+034.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344067709888227554" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SinxRJ-F6OI/AAAAAAAAA1k/R-2wqi9IB8M/s400/ssci+034.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sinw3NU75EI/AAAAAAAAA1c/6LRhAa8SYZk/s1600-h/ssci+034.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Novamente nos encontramos em frente ao shopping barra sul e dali partimos rumo ao centro da capital gaúcha. Pegamos carona com o tremsurb até São Leopoldo-RS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SioA_HciQeI/AAAAAAAAA10/8TX_kttSExg/s1600-h/ssci+google+earth.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344084992159007202" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 222px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SioA_HciQeI/AAAAAAAAA10/8TX_kttSExg/s400/ssci+google+earth.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estava frio e no início tivemos de pedalar abrigados contra um vento incomodativo. Entramos no bairro Scharlau pela RS 122 em direção a Portão-RS e São Sebastião do Caí-RS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asfalto com excelente acostamento, pedalamos até dar fome quando paramos no posto Texaco já bem próximo a São Sebastião. Comida excelente o que nos fez exagerar na dose e consequentemente reduzir a velocidade do pedal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em S. Sebastião tiramos algumas fotografias e fizemos a digestão do churrasco, então seguimos pela rua Montenegro, uma estrada asfaltada que vai em direção a Pareci Novo-RS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SinwVo4JOeI/AAAAAAAAA1U/SAA3x8vm4PM/s1600-h/ssci+020.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344066687392627170" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SinwVo4JOeI/AAAAAAAAA1U/SAA3x8vm4PM/s320/ssci+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sinv9g7ppaI/AAAAAAAAA1M/cb8ISLbf1P0/s1600-h/ssci+015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344066272942990754" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sinv9g7ppaI/AAAAAAAAA1M/cb8ISLbf1P0/s320/ssci+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atravessamos a ponte sobre o rio Caí seguindo no mesmo caminho leva a Harmonia-RS mas entramos a esquerda numa estrada de chão batido ou melhor, barro socado. Ela margeia o rio Caí, passa por vetustas construções em ruinas e está em vias de ser asfaltada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SinvTDxB-cI/AAAAAAAAA08/PeHnJnE91TQ/s1600-h/1ssci+027.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344065543559313858" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SinvTDxB-cI/AAAAAAAAA08/PeHnJnE91TQ/s320/1ssci+027.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Pareci Novo pegamos asfalto novamente, até a BR 287. Re-cruzamos o rio Caí e logo em seguida enfrentamos uma montanha russa de pequeno porte até as proximidades de Capela de Santana-RS, onde tive de retirar o velho moletom devido ao esforço inesperado daquele sobe-desce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A BR 287 vai até o pedágio da RS 122.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali retornamos ao caminho anteriormente pedalado, seguimos de volta a São Leopoldo onde novamente entramos no tremsurb para ir de volta ao centro de Porto Alegre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partindo do centro, cruzamos a esquina democrática, e fomos em direção à zona sul. Ao passarmos pelo estádio gigante da beira rio, topamos com toda a torcida do inter que saia do estádio feliz da vida devido à vitória sobre o palmeiras por 2x0. Desvencilhados da turba enfim chegamos de volta ao lar com 110 km pedalados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Videos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320"

sul&lt;/a&gt; por volta das 10:00 hs. E dali ganhamos a Avenida Beira Rio com velocidade, num pedal rumo à Cachoeirinha-RS via Avenidas Sertório e Assis Brasil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sinkvrv92EI/AAAAAAAAA00/3L2xQR9jGbQ/s1600-h/google+earth+cascatinha.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344053940700698690" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 222px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sinkvrv92EI/AAAAAAAAA00/3L2xQR9jGbQ/s400/google+earth+cascatinha.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atravessamos a zona metropolitana com poucas paradas, nas imediações do sítio do Beto paramos para almoçar. Era mais de meio dia, saboreamos uma costela assada num restaurante simples de beira de estrada. Depois de uma boa prosa continuamos o passeio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sim72Ro2GjI/AAAAAAAAA0c/c7figxpVtCA/s1600-h/DSC05914.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344008973973854770" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sim72Ro2GjI/AAAAAAAAA0c/c7figxpVtCA/s320/DSC05914.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passamos pela localidade de Morungava e logo mais adiante entramos a esquerda, subimos uma elevação de onde se avistava a fábrica de automóveis GM entre outras coisas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sim81XeJP6I/AAAAAAAAA0s/-aoC039-u6c/s1600-h/DSC05927.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344010057871343522" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sim81XeJP6I/AAAAAAAAA0s/-aoC039-u6c/s320/DSC05927.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo mais um descidão e um campo. Pedal entre o gado leiteiro, campo lindo, mato fino, entravamos no nosso destino quando um vigilante com colete de guarda nos abordou: 15 reais.&lt;br /&gt;-O que? Só queremos olhar... pode ser 5?&lt;br /&gt;Assim foi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O camping vazio, cavalos pastando. Lindas cascatas surreais. Um lugar de poder nos meses de baixio. Ficamos ali sentados olhando para o brilho da água nas pedras escuras e a alvura das espumas do rumor da queda d'água.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sim8c3-EcAI/AAAAAAAAA0k/LXP_DVEH8ws/s1600-h/DSC05924.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344009637098450946" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sim8c3-EcAI/AAAAAAAAA0k/LXP_DVEH8ws/s320/DSC05924.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meia hora naquela contemplação e com poucas palavras, montamos nas nossas bikes e encaramos um subidão para chegar ao asfalto.&lt;br /&gt;Depois um pedal pachorrento até a RS 118 com uma parada para repor o potássio à base de coca-cola, na RS 118 parece que acordamos: a velocidade apareceu e o acostamento sumiu.&lt;br /&gt;Verdadeiro chão batido de cascalho solto, e um movimento incessante de automóveis e caminhões. Pedal entre um casario de gente humilde por aquele asfalto em decomposição, até chegarmos em Sapucaia do Sul-RS onde pegamos carona com o trensurb de volta ao centro da capital gaúcha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total pedalado: 107 km&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-6258950499509022722?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/6258950499509022722/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=6258950499509022722' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6258950499509022722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6258950499509022722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html#6258950499509022722' title='Mato Fino (Cascatinha)'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Sim7plVUkpI/AAAAAAAAA0U/cTxFbUEJQuI/s72-c/DSC05917.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-3424751247161051122</id><published>2008-09-16T19:49:00.025-03:00</published><updated>2009-06-06T01:05:12.725-03:00</updated><title type='text'>Passeio Danda Bike</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBEomGewPI/AAAAAAAAAjo/pTIJZ8H_SI8/s1600-h/db+027.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246769030099812594" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBEomGewPI/AAAAAAAAAjo/pTIJZ8H_SI8/s400/db+027.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Passeio &lt;a href="http://www.dandabike.com.br/"&gt;Danda Bike&lt;/a&gt;: 35 km. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;14 de setembro de 2008&lt;br /&gt;Participantes: Adonai, Alberto, eu e mais 127 mountain bikers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNA6nE7VM9I/AAAAAAAAAi4/JpWMFHu8k08/s1600-h/db+007.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246758008898532306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNA6nE7VM9I/AAAAAAAAAi4/JpWMFHu8k08/s320/db+007.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Levantei cedo e atravessei a cidade pedalando até chegar na casa do Alberto. Ali acondicionamos as bikes na caminhoneta, com rapidez, e rumamos para o apartamento do Adonai. Ele estava nos esperando já cansado só de pensar em pedalar pois estava meio parado; no caminho decidiu que faria o percurso mais curto de 20 km. Eu e o Alberto pedalariamos o caminho longo de 35 km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNA6nTQ_fjI/AAAAAAAAAjA/Xb6WIvdz4wk/s1600-h/db+020.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246758012747480626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNA6nTQ_fjI/AAAAAAAAAjA/Xb6WIvdz4wk/s320/db+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fomos as pressas pensando que estávamos atrasados, mas chegamos lá no posto Ipiranga de Lomba Grande com folga de tempo. Nos separamos do Adonai e iniciamos o pedal com um grupo de mais de cem ciclistas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNA6oh0kErI/AAAAAAAAAjY/aGbCJlTjPFk/s1600-h/db+032.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246758033834644146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNA6oh0kErI/AAAAAAAAAjY/aGbCJlTjPFk/s320/db+032.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir do inicio do pedal, tirando alguns desencontros e erros de percurso o que fez com que nos desviássemos da rota por alguns quilômetros o resto transcorreu sem incidentes. As imagens e videos descrevem esse passeio de forma literal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBFORGMQkI/AAAAAAAAAjw/5ceKXrtpoj8/s1600-h/db+024.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246769677296484930" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBFORGMQkI/AAAAAAAAAjw/5ceKXrtpoj8/s320/db+024.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBEG04dp_I/AAAAAAAAAjg/ZON_QsIjtiU/s1600-h/db+037.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246768449951999986" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBEG04dp_I/AAAAAAAAAjg/ZON_QsIjtiU/s320/db+037.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Retornamos com os olhos cheios de natureza e visuais retratados nessas imagens. O Adonai nos esperava com duas amigas que conhecera no passeio curto. Uma delas estava machucada de uma queda, calça de lycra rasgada, luxações.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Foram com a gente de carona. Socamos cinco bikes na caminhoneta e fomos até um restaurante no centro de Novo Hamburgo. Ali comemos bifes especias, e combinamos pedais e trilhas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Chegando em de volta em Porto Alegre, desgrudamos e montamos as bikes. Eu saí pedalando do bairro Teresópolis até a zona sul pra completar o trajeto. De tardezinha já estava em casa tomando mate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Total pedalado: 60 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Videos:&lt;br

contra a paralisia infantil, peguei o carro e parti para Flores da Cunha. Desde sexta-feira minha bicicleta já estava acondicionada enrolada num cobertor sem as duas rodas no banco traseiro do automóvel. Passei na casa do Alberto, colocamos a bicicleta dele no trans-bike e iniciamos a viagem.&lt;br /&gt;Eu já tinha feito um pedal semelhante ao que faríamos no domingo, só que mais curto. Lá para os lados de Otávio Rocha, entre parreirais e cachorros, um dia pedalei até Nova Roma e me disseram que tinha um descidão até uma balsa que cruzava um rio, fiquei curioso e decidi voltar ali outro dia para conhecer aquilo tudo no pedal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SKC-rkJTMuI/AAAAAAAAAiw/bmfTOuDpWy8/s1600-h/Ot%C3%A1vio+Rocha.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233392422650852066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SKC-rkJTMuI/AAAAAAAAAiw/bmfTOuDpWy8/s400/Ot%C3%A1vio+Rocha.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portanto aqui vamos nós, agora cruzando a grande Caxias do Sul e conversando sobre a finalidade da vida e o fluxo de energia no universo, desde o big-bang até a energia psíquica, passando pela teoria do inconsciente de Freud. Antes de chegar em Flores da Cunha, através do argumento da insignificância, como num jogo de Go o Alberto me deu uma espécie de xeque filosófico que ainda hoje tento me desvencilhar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-7MO4OBsI/AAAAAAAAAhs/jqiE4RZFGzU/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233107110854526658" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-7MO4OBsI/AAAAAAAAAhs/jqiE4RZFGzU/s320/Nova+Roma+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfim chegamos em Flores da Cunha e procuramos um lugar para comer naquela noite friorenta. Havia um restaurante no centro onde comemos uma espécie de bife grande com queijo e acompanhamentos. Ali encerramos os assuntos filosóficos por aquela semana, a carne faz pesar o estômago e dá um torpor mental. Saímos dali em silêncio, digerindo o big-bang e o bife, fomos parar em Otávio Rocha na pousada da Dona Adélia.&lt;br /&gt;Nem vimos a Dona Adélia, acho que era meio tarde. Quem nos atendeu foi um senhor que falava com um sotaque típico da região da serra gaúcha. Um rapaz se prontificou de guardar nossas bicicletas numa loja de artesanato em frente à pousada.&lt;br /&gt;Depois de um banho o Alberto ligou o aquecedor, eu já estava roncando nesse meio tempo.&lt;br /&gt;Acordei de madrugada com um calor dos diabos e sufocado. Tateando no escuro e sem achar o interruptor da luz saí porta afora ofegante. Abri a janela e veio um ar gelado de fora. Janelas e portas vedadas, o aquecedor tinha esgotado o oxigênio. Tudo bem, nem sabia que horas eram, voltei a dormir oxigenado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBH7wvO1wI/AAAAAAAAAj4/TnrKb36VsOA/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+034.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246772657907488514" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBH7wvO1wI/AAAAAAAAAj4/TnrKb36VsOA/s320/Nova+Roma+034.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No farto café manhã nem falamos mais na finalidade da vida. Já estávamos em clima de pedal e pedalar era o nosso vislumbre. Essa é uma das razões porque pedalo: eu paro de pensar.&lt;br /&gt;Enquanto tomávamos o café em silêncio um outro senhor com um sotaque da região um tanto mais acentuado falava ao telefone. Uma voz aguda semelhante à de mulher que me lembrou muito o Raditi. Descobri depois que tem um tal de &lt;a href="http://www.willmutt.com.br/site/"&gt;Willmutt&lt;/a&gt; que faz sátiras do sotaque de gringo e que em um website. Vale a pena conferir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-0iHZkKZI/AAAAAAAAAgE/orkgCk63Cws/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+037.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233099790222633362" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-0iHZkKZI/AAAAAAAAAgE/orkgCk63Cws/s320/Nova+Roma+037.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saímos pedalando de Otávio Rocha às 8:30 duma manha gelada. Eu ia de bermuda larga sentindo um frio nas pernas e o Alberto ia de calcinha de ciclista. Ainda vou comprar uma calcinha dessas para o próximo inverno, calças largas de abrigo enroscam na coroa, já rasguei umas três quando se soltaram das meias. Como sou gaúcho criado na fronteira ainda tenho um certo constrangimento para vestir aquelas calcinhas justas. Levei dois anos de pedal para começar a vestir bermudas de lycra com esponja etc... Depois gostei tanto que antes dos pedais, vestindo aquelas bermudas, não me constrangia em levar o cachorrinho pinscher 01 da minha filha para passear na área comum do prédio. O perigo é que a gente perde a vergonha e acaba gostando...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-0jkqje1I/AAAAAAAAAgc/2HMZabGlK3U/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+051.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233099815258389330" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-0jkqje1I/AAAAAAAAAgc/2HMZabGlK3U/s320/Nova+Roma+051.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBH7wvO1wI/AAAAAAAAAj4/TnrKb36VsOA/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+034.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalando entre parreirais secos e cinzas num sobe e desce cansativo fomos sair em Nova Roma. Pegamos o tal descidão onde fomos parar na tal de balsa que cruzava o tal de rio. Era o rio das Antas e a balsa, ainda na sei o nome. É uma balsa movida a braço, e braço de mulher. Subindo na balsa e parando de pedalar, voltei a pensar pensamentos dos outros. “Dêem-me uma alavanca e um ponto de apoio e moverei o mundo”. (Arquimedes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-32_x4zUI/AAAAAAAAAgs/hxLzBK4n9Pc/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+057.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233103447489301826" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-32_x4zUI/AAAAAAAAAgs/hxLzBK4n9Pc/s320/Nova+Roma+057.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A subida depois do rio me fez interromper o pensamento alheio. Nem me interessei em quantos MW a &lt;a href="http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=462996"&gt;represa Castro Alves&lt;/a&gt; geraria. O Alberto se sentiu à vontade para falar de engenharia elétrica, pois é formado e graduado nesse assunto. Eu só queria sair daquele buraco e chegar logo em Nova Pádua para o almoço. Mesmo assim a endorfina me fez imaginar um mundo novo naquela região selvagem. Uma Nova Roma, cujo prefeito seria o Raditi, um novo papa gringo importado da Europa a enriquecer a região com um turismo religioso pregando os preceitos da nova era. Enfim uma nova Itália cujos políticos fariam discursos e debates com o sotaque do Willmutt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-0j9rEwpI/AAAAAAAAAgk/bIL2q2XQss8/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+056.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233099821971456658" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-0j9rEwpI/AAAAAAAAAgk/bIL2q2XQss8/s320/Nova+Roma+056.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em breve chegamos a Nova Roma, parei num posto de gasolina para limpar a caramanhola suja de cocô não sei de que bicho que havia saltado da roda. Um cheiro forte e desagradável. Bem lavada com água e sabão mesmo assim o cheiro ficou incrustado. O que fez com que sumisse o fedor foi um cheiro bom de churrasco que vinha duma chaminé. Paramos no pé da chaminé, num restaurante lotado. Era dia dos pais e havia um almoço especial por ali com carnes as mais variadas e um buffet de acabar com o regime de qualquer um. Procurando um lugar para estacionar as bicicletas eu cravei um espinho de cacto nas costas, e um bicho não identificado mordeu a mão do Alberto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBH8TTDFZI/AAAAAAAAAkA/wq6n-w_U9Y4/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+061.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246772667184518546" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SNBH8TTDFZI/AAAAAAAAAkA/wq6n-w_U9Y4/s320/Nova+Roma+061.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois do almoço e vinho tinto de colônia saímos pedalando dali de forma pachorrenta. O Alberto pedalava tão devagar que chegou a cair numa valeta pela inércia. Mesmo assim ele seguia na minha frente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-337j_BlI/AAAAAAAAAg8/SIHiNWjq3es/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+063.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233103463537116754" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-337j_BlI/AAAAAAAAAg8/SIHiNWjq3es/s320/Nova+Roma+063.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfim Antônio Prado. Um sorvete na entrada da cidade, aquela sorveteria parecia ser um dos points das baladas da noite. Mesmo de dia desfilavam por ali carros rebaixados e motocicletas barulhentas com seus playboys. Coisa que me lembrou a terra natal há 30 anos&lt;br /&gt;Depois de uma visita ao famoso centro histórico de Antônio Prado, seguimos o pedal. Para sair da cidade é um subidão, e a subida continua na RS 122. Uma enorme montanha russa com bom acostamento até o desfiladeiro nas proximidades do rio das Antas. Dali até e ponte atingi 60 km/h numa estrada em espiral semi-deserta. Passou rápido, tudo o que é bom se termina. Quando me dei por conta estava na ponte e morto de fome. Comi umas bolachas salgadas, e voltei a pensar. Pelo tanto que descemos outro tanto deveríamos subir. Assim nesse raciocínio óbvio me preparei para o aclive ininterrupto de seis quilômetros que ia até as proximidades de Flores da Cunha. Levei uma hora para sair daquele buraco. Sem nem um planinho pra descansar, nem nada na beira do caminho, só me restava pedalar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-34JvG55I/AAAAAAAAAhE/sftGlVUnyoA/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+067.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233103467341866898" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-34JvG55I/AAAAAAAAAhE/sftGlVUnyoA/s320/Nova+Roma+067.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comecei a sentir a dureza do banco novo em teste. De mola, mas duro. Prometi pra mim mesmo que pedalaria até o fim sem descer da bike, pedalar até achar algum lugar pra tomar uma coca cola. Assim fui por toda aquele percurso sem descanso, para a desgraça das partes traseiras, quando enfim desci da bicicleta para tomar a coca-cola eu estava semelhante à velha surda da praça é nossa, com dificuldades para andar e sentar.&lt;br /&gt;Uma coca-cola congelada me reanimou. Subi na bike e sentei no selim com dificuldade passei pelo pedágio sem parar, o Alberto me esperava por ali. Pedalamos mais um trecho até a entrada para Otávio Rocha, começava a escurecer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-34jg4OyI/AAAAAAAAAhM/DSH0Bf24r4U/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+070.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233103474261506850" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-34jg4OyI/AAAAAAAAAhM/DSH0Bf24r4U/s320/Nova+Roma+070.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalei os últimos quilômetros no escuro. O Alberto começou a sentir o joelho e ficou para trás. Cheguei na pousada e imediatamente comecei a desmontar a bike na penumbra. Tirei as duas rodas e enrolei num cobertor, coloquei no banco traseiro do carro. Depois de amarrar a do Alberto no trans bike voltamos a Porto Alegre onde jantamos um café num restaurante de beira de estrada, sem nem sequer falar sobre a finalidade da vida. Pedal é para essas coisas.&lt;br /&gt;Total Pedalado: 105 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-75XcFv2I/AAAAAAAAAh0/a-lZwd_MUD0/s1600-h/Nova+Roma+073.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233107886246575970" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-75XcFv2I/AAAAAAAAAh0/a-lZwd_MUD0/s320/Nova+Roma+073.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total Pedalado: 105 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-b333e4aa9c84b1a" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D0b333e4aa9c84b1a%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D3D1F36EB3CC714DD843F5971C5BFAC9A2AE56A25.1A3A8157BB451399EE9634DCA0A1C906DED7EE55%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db333e4aa9c84b1a%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DNyAjXk17Kde74aDaoXQTRqV0Er8&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v8.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D0b333e4aa9c84b1a%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D3D1F36EB3CC714DD843F5971C5BFAC9A2AE56A25.1A3A8157BB451399EE9634DCA0A1C906DED7EE55%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db333e4aa9c84b1a%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DNyAjXk17Kde74aDaoXQTRqV0Er8&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-183eac22d7df0f41" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v7.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D183eac22d7df0f41%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D4B22D245639B222D69B70697A626D59D5F42D7C1.69E8E9535021487A07C1CDE8F0C872B6E1A2B52C%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D183eac22d7df0f41%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DyvAJLNvdFBfXLuOHZRycOV3MQso&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v7.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D183eac22d7df0f41%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D4B22D245639B222D69B70697A626D59D5F42D7C1.69E8E9535021487A07C1CDE8F0C872B6E1A2B52C%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D183eac22d7df0f41%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DyvAJLNvdFBfXLuOHZRycOV3MQso&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Otavio Rocha district to Otavio Rocha district&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Saturday evening after a full day of vaccination against infantile paralysis, I caught the car and left to Flores da Cunha city. Since Friday my bike was already wrapped in a blanket rolled without the two wheels in the rear seat of the car. I passed in the house of Alberto, put the bicycle in cross-bike and we started the journey. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I already had done a pedal similar to what we would do on Sunday, but shorter. There to the sides of Otávio Rocha district, between gardens and dogs, one day I cicled till New Padua city and they told me that there were had a ladder that leaded till a ferry that crossed a river, I was curious and decided to go back there another day to know everything on the pedal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;So here we go, now crossing the vast Caxias do Sul city and talking about the purpose of life and the flow of energy in the universe since the big bang till psy energy, going by the Freud’s theory of the unconscious. Before arriving in Flores da Cunha, through the argument of insignificance, as a game of the Go Alberto gave me a kind of philosophical Sheikh that I still try to be free. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Finally we arrive in Flores da Cunha and seek a place to eat in that cold night. There was a restaurant in the centre where a kind of eat steak and cheese with great accompaniments. There we ended the philosophical issues in that week, the meat is weigh the stomach and makes a mental torpor. We left the restaurant in silence, digesting the big-bang and steak, we were stranded on Otávio Rocha city in Dona Adélia hostel. Neither saw Ms Adélia, I think it was a half later. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Who was there was a gentleman who spoke with an accent typical of the region's mountain gaúcha. A boy was right to save our bicycles into shop for handicrafts in front of the inn. After a bath the Alberto turned the heater, I was already snoring in the meantime. Woke at dawn with a hell of heat and sufocated. In the darkness without finding the back door of the light I went out the room wheezing. After I open the window and has a cold air from outside. Windows and doors closed, the heater had exhausted the oxygen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Okay, neither knew what time was, I returned to sleep oxygenated. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;With plentiful morning coffee or talk more purpose in life. Already we were in climate and foot pedal was our glimpse. That is one reason why pcycle: I stop thinking. While we were taking the morning coffee in silence we listened another strange accent of the region with a somewhat more pronounced spoke on the phone. A voice similar to that of acute woman who reminded me a lot to Raditi. I discovered then that has such a Willmutt of making sátiras about the gringo accent, and that on a website. It is funny to listen it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We left Otávio Rocha at 8:30 in a cold morning. I would was wearing a large shorts and feeling cold in the legs and Alberto was wearing tight pants of cyclists. Although I will buy one of these tight pants for next winter, wide trousers under glue of the gear, already teared some three when they were free from the socks. As I am gaucho created at the border and very male, I still have a certain constraint to wear those briefs fair. It took two years of pedal to start dress that tight shorts with of sponge etc. ... After liked so much that before the pedals, wearing tight shorts, I do not felt bad of getting the dog pinscher 01 of my daughter to walk in the common area of the building. The danger is that people ends losing their shame and just enjoying it ... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We cycled between gardens and dried up grape trees and down in ashes were wearing out in New Rome. We took such a ladder where we stop at just the ferry that crossed the river from this. It was the Antas river and the ferry, even in the know the name. It is a ferry moved by the the arms, and by the arm of a woman. Movers and stopping of the ferry ride, I returned to thinking thoughts of others. "Give me a lever and a fulcrum and stir the world." (Archimedes) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The rise after the river made me stop the alien thought. I was not interested in how many MW would generate the Castro Alves damn. The Alberto felt free to talk about electrical engineering, because it is formed and graduated in that subject. I just wanted to get out of that hole and come soon in New Rome for lunch. Still, the Endorphin made me imagine a new world in that region wild. A New Rome, whose mayor would be the Raditi, a new pope gringo imported from Europe to enrich the region with a tourism religious preaching the precepts of the new era. Finally a new Italy whose political speeches and debates would do with the accent of Willmutt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Soon we arrived at New Roma, stopped at a petrol to clean the dirty caramanhola of shit not know that beast that had bounced the wheel. A strong and unpleasant smell. Well washed with soap and water even smell was so encrusted. What has caused to disappear the smell was a smell of good barbecue that had a chimney. We stopped at the bottom of the chimney, in a restaurant full. It was days of parents and had a special lunch there with meat by the most varied and a buffet of ending the regime of anyone. Looking for a place to park the bike I was hurted by a a thorn of cactus in the back, and an unidentified beast bit the hand of Alberto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;After lunch and red wine, we went out there cycling very slowly. Alberto was cycling so slowly that fell down into a hole by inertia. Even so he went in front of me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Finally at Antonio Prado city. An ice cream at the entrance of the city, in a drink bar seemed to be one of the points of the ballads of the night. Even by day there were cars and motorcycles demoted noisy with its playboys. Thing that made me reminded my homeland 30 years ago. After a visit to the famous historic center of Antonio Prado, we followed the pedal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;To goout drom the city is a ladder, and the rise continues in RS 122 road. A huge and long road until the gorge near the river of Antas. From there to the bridge I reached 40 miles/h on a road in spiral semi-deserted. It passed quickly, all that is good if ends. When I gave in to the bridge and was dead from hunger. I ate some salted biscuits, and I returned to thinking. On the other down so much that both should rise. So this reasoning course I prepared for the continuously climb for five miles that would lead to near Flores da Cunha. It took one hour to get out of that hole. Without a rest, and nothing in the side of the road.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started to feel the hardness of the new seat in testing. Promised to me that I was going to cycle till the end of the climb without going out from the the bike, pedaling to find some place to take a coke. So I went through that journey without rest, to the misery of back when the bike finally down to take the coke I was similar to the old square is our deaf, had trouble walking and sitting. A coca-cola frozen brought me up. I returned to the bike and sat in the saddle with difficulty spent by the toll without stopping, Alberto was waiting for me there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We cycled one more sentence to the entrance to Otávio Rocha, began to darken. I cycled the last kilometers in the dark. The Alberto began to feel the knee and stayed behind. I arrived at the inn and immediately began to disassemble the bike in the shadows. I took the two wheels and rool it in a blanket, put in the back seat of the car. After the tie of Alberto in the cross bike we left to Porto Alegre city. In the way we had a dinner on a roadside restaurant, without even talking about the purpose of life. Pedal is for these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Total cycled: 105 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-4752352437793786866?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=183eac22d7df0f41&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=b333e4aa9c84b1a&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/4752352437793786866/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=4752352437793786866' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4752352437793786866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4752352437793786866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html#4752352437793786866' title='Otávio Rocha - Otávio Rocha'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SJ-5lu2AmHI/AAAAAAAAAhk/5SnJ025y8qc/s72-c/Nova+Roma+017.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-8761570844111898208</id><published>2008-02-10T18:40:00.007-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T01:19:22.154-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Guaratuba - Morretes</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67R4T8-6CI/AAAAAAAAAeo/Ys0pUxc95hA/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+134.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165296587999471650" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67R4T8-6CI/AAAAAAAAAeo/Ys0pUxc95hA/s400/FlMr+28.01.08+134.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Música: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9162824073426469298&amp;amp;q=tranquility+base+geting+away+leama&amp;amp;total=3&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;num=10&amp;amp;so=0&amp;amp;type=search&amp;amp;plindex=0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tranquility Base - Getting Away&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A última parte da segunda etapa da cicloviagem de Porto Alegre a Morretes-PR começou num dia nublado e com trovoadas em Guaratuba.&lt;br /&gt;Depois do café da manhã pedalei até a praia de Brejatuba, nas imediações do &lt;a href="http://www.guaratuba.pr.gov.br/site/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id=251&amp;amp;Itemid=140"&gt;Morro do Cristo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A subida do Morro do Cristo era feita somente através de centenas de degraus, e o trem da &lt;a href="http://www.serraverdeexpress.com.br/"&gt;Serra Verde Exprex&lt;/a&gt; partiria de Morretes rumo a Curitiba às 15 hs. Portanto não me demorei na praia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por volta das 9:00 hs eu já estava no &lt;a href="http://www.pr.gov.br/derpr/ferry.shtml"&gt;ferry-boat&lt;/a&gt; que atravessa a baía de Guaratuba. A passagem é gratuita para ciclistas e pedestres e o tempo de travessia é de uns 15 min. No ferry-boat encontrei uma aventureira curitibana que vinha percorrendo as praias do litoral do Paraná e Santa Catarina sozinha numa motocicleta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subi e desci um pequeno morro para chegar a Caiobá, outra praia importante do Paraná. Em Matinhos peguei a rodovia PR 508. Varios quilômetros na chuva a mais de 25 km/h em meio a uma área de proteção ambiental e logo eu estava chegando na BR 277 pela qual eu já havia pedalado &lt;a href="http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html"&gt;de Curitiba a Paranaguá&lt;/a&gt; há algumas semanas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67Pcz8-6BI/AAAAAAAAAeg/0xAmfibax74/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+157.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165293916529813522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67Pcz8-6BI/AAAAAAAAAeg/0xAmfibax74/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+157.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A chuva passou e o vento a favor incrementaram a velocidade no acostamento largo. Faltavam apenas 24 km para o fim do pedal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67MYj8-5_I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/u_2fsZXtOoQ/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+030.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67I2z8-57I/AAAAAAAAAdw/Gvg8Ai542Mw/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+160.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165286666625017778" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67I2z8-57I/AAAAAAAAAdw/Gvg8Ai542Mw/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+160.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo adiante entrei na primeira entrada da rodovia PR 408, uma estrada com alguns aclives leves, sem acostamento mas pouco movimentada que leva a Morretes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67L4D8-5-I/AAAAAAAAAeI/kV06bh1NcLE/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+127.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165289986634737634" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67L4D8-5-I/AAAAAAAAAeI/kV06bh1NcLE/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+127.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por volta do meio dia eu estava chegando na estação ferroviária onde comprei a passagem para Curitiba por 24 reais incluido o transporte da bicicleta. A ultima parte do pedal foi depois do almoço e no &lt;a href="http://viajanteconsciente.com.br/vivencias/cultura-e-historia/pr-morretes-centro-historico/"&gt;Centro Histórico de Morretes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomei um demorado banho no Sanitário Municipal do centro histórico. Segundo informações da funcionária, aquele era um dos clássicos pontos de encontro de ciclistas que desciam a serra de bicicleta para depois subir de trem. O local para banho era excelente. Limpo e novo, melhor que o de muitos hotéis em que fiquei hospedado no decorrer da cicloviagem.&lt;br /&gt;Antes das 15 hs eu já estava na estação ferroviária. Os funcionários da ferrovia me ajudaram a colocar a bicicleta no trem, num vagão especial para carregar bicicletas.&lt;br /&gt;Entrei no vagão de passageiros e depois de um sino e um apito o trem deu partida num "tlac tlac" rumo à mais fantástica viagem em meio à natureza selvagem que já fiz em todos esses anos de locomoção através dos mais variados meios de transporte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-97df7a1284fea19e" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D97df7a1284fea19e%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D407AD02204FBAF1D6A3FE23A55BCF5228722525.E866C86A181E46D5F1E06F2ACE306B0B4C8F737%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D97df7a1284fea19e%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dcc4Go2Ph6FQ6USAHR7KAIzPG1Kw&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D97df7a1284fea19e%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D407AD02204FBAF1D6A3FE23A55BCF5228722525.E866C86A181E46D5F1E06F2ACE306B0B4C8F737%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D97df7a1284fea19e%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dcc4Go2Ph6FQ6USAHR7KAIzPG1Kw&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei na estação ferroviária de Curitiba às 18 hs. A estação rodoviária ficava do outro lado da rua. Retirei a roda dianteira e embalei a bicicleta com alforje e tudo. Às 19 hs peguei um ônibus da empresa Penha direto para Porto Alegre, pagando 15 reais pelo transporte da bicicleta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fui lembrando dos trechos marcantes da viagem que começou na manhã de uma sexta-feira junto com o Alberto e rumo a Taquara.&lt;br /&gt;Vieram imagens da chuva persistente, dos jogos de sinuca em Cambará do Sul, da descida da serra da Rocinha até Turvo, e finalmente a chegada na temida BR 101 e o tombo.&lt;br /&gt;A manhã lagarteando na praia de Imbituba e a chegada triunfante em Florianópolis.&lt;br /&gt;Os dias de descanso com a familia, e a decisão implacável de seguir viagem sozinho o longo trecho até São Francisco do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pessoas e fatos que se sucederam nos 850 km de pedal foram desfilando na minha mente até que dormi profundamente. Acordei em Porto Alegre às 7 hs da manhã, desembalei e montei a bicicleta e fui para casa pedalando.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Guaratuba beach - Morretes city&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The last part of the second stage of cycletrip from Porto Alegre to Morretes cities began with a cloudy day and thunderstorms. After the breakfast on the beach of Guaratuba I made a ride until near the Christ hill. I was already missing the trip of 850 km that would be overcome in that day. The rise of the Christ Hill was made only through hundreds of steps, and the Sierra Green Exprex was going to leave Morretes towards Curitiba at 15 hs. So I didn´t spend many time on the beach. Then from 9:00 am I was already on the ferry boat that crosses the Bay of Guaratuba. The transition is free for cyclists and pedestrians and the time of crossing is a 15 min. In ferryboat I found a girl from Curitiba city that was making an adventure that came through the beaches of the coast of Parana and Santa Catarina alone on a motorcycle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I passed by a small hill to reach Caiobá, another important beach of Parana state. In Matinhos beach I caught the highway PR 508. Several kilometers in the rain for more than 25 km / h in the midst of an area of environmental protection and soon I was arriving in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt; BR 277. The rain stoped and the wind decreased, i got a good speed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Was lacking only 24 km to the end of the pedal. Once below joined on the first entry of highway PR 408, a road with some light climbs without sidewalk but little busy, that leads to Morretes. Around the noon I was arriving in the railway station where I bought the ticket to Curitiba city for 24 reais included the transport of the bike. The last part of the pedal was after lunch in the historic centre of Morretes. I took a bath in the Municipal Bathroom of the historic centre. According to information, that was one of the classic points of meeting that cyclists who were comming down the mountain on a bicycle and then was going to climb by train. The site was excellent for a shower. Clean and new, better than many of the hotels where I stayed during the trip. Before the 3 pm I was already at the railway station. Employees of the railroad helped me to put the bike on the train, in a special wagon to load bicycles. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I Entered on the passenger wagon and then a bell and wristle and took the train from a "tlac tlac" towards the more fantastic journey in the midst of wild nature that I have done in all these years of locomotion through a variety of means of transport. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I arrived at the railway station of Curitiba at 18 pm. The road station was across the street. I took off the front wheel and put the bike in a big bag with the bag and everything. At 7 pm I caught a bus directly to Porto Alegre. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I was remembering the remarkable stretches of the journey that began on the morning of a Friday along with Alberto towards Taquara city. Came images of persistent rain, the games of pool in Cambará South, the descent of the Rocinha mountain range until Turvo, and finally the arrival in the feared BR 101 railway and the fall. The laid morning on the beach in Imbituba and triumphant arrival in Florianopolis city. The days of rest with the family, and ruthless decision to follow travel alone the long stretch until São Francisco do Sul city. People in suits who succeeded in those 850 km of pedal were passing by my mind until I slept deeply. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I awoke in Porto Alegre city at 7 am in the morning, umpacked and set the bike and went home cycling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-8761570844111898208?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=97df7a1284fea19e&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/8761570844111898208/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=8761570844111898208' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/8761570844111898208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/8761570844111898208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html#8761570844111898208' title='Guaratuba - Morretes'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67R4T8-6CI/AAAAAAAAAeo/Ys0pUxc95hA/s72-c/FlMr+28.01.08+134.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-1143593002003246817</id><published>2008-02-04T02:43:00.004-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T01:19:24.137-02:00</updated><title type='text'>São Francisco do Sul - Guaratuba</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aPMKRKsVI/AAAAAAAAAb0/SPGu20Do1u4/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+070.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162971461904413010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aPMKRKsVI/AAAAAAAAAb0/SPGu20Do1u4/s400/FlMr+28.01.08+070.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Musica: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9162824073426469298&amp;amp;q=tranquility+base+geting+away+leama&amp;amp;total=3&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;num=10&amp;amp;so=0&amp;amp;type=search&amp;amp;plindex=0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tranquility Base - Getting Away&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Choveu a madrugada toda em São Francisco do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;Acordei cedo com intenção de visitar os museus Nacional do Mar e Histórico Municipal.&lt;br /&gt;Depois do café da manhã deixei o hotel e pedalei na chuva até a casa "dos parafusos" para comprar dois parafusos que haviam se soltado do pedal esquerdo. Aproveitei para passear no porto e calibrar os pneus num posto de gasolina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aSLqRKsZI/AAAAAAAAAcU/QzgxkQSK07s/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+072.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162974751849361810" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aSLqRKsZI/AAAAAAAAAcU/QzgxkQSK07s/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+072.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fui até o &lt;a href="http://radarsul.com.br/saochico/museu_historico.asp"&gt;Museu Histórico Municipal&lt;/a&gt;. Era uma espécie de casarão antigo cuja fachada dava direto para a calçada. As portas e janelas fechadas a princípio me levaram a crer que o museu não estava em funcionamento. Empurrei a enorme e pesada porta da frente que foi se abrindo num rangido. Um senhor idoso me atendeu por uma fresta. Senti um cheiro de coisas velhas, a penumbra e a secura no interior do museu. Percebi que seria complicado eu entrar ali respingando água, além do mais não havia onde deixar a bicicleta. Resolvi fazer a visita apenas no Museu Nacional do Mar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Uma funcionária simpática do &lt;a href="http://www.museunacionaldomar.com.br/"&gt;Museu Nacional do Mar&lt;/a&gt; se prontificou de cuidar da minha bicicleta enquanto eu fizesse a visita. Haviam vários turistas circulando por ali, apesar da chuva. Tirei a jaqueta impermeável e as luvas encharcadas e iniciei a visita.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aP_qRKsWI/AAAAAAAAAb8/jvQDV7jGaBw/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+079.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162972346667676002" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aP_qRKsWI/AAAAAAAAAb8/jvQDV7jGaBw/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+079.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;O Museu fica num prédio antigo em forma de U e tem o aspecto de um labirinto de dois andares com setas indicativas da saída. Percorre-se o labirinto seguindo as indicações das placas, passando-se por inúmeras salas cada qual com sua temática. Eu tinha uma certa pressa pois pretendia pegar a lancha que saía às 11:30 hs para Vila Glória, que fica no continente. Percorri o museu rapidamente e fui para a lancha que já estava atracada num trapiche no centro histórico.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aRGKRKsXI/AAAAAAAAAcE/RTkRLYNNAZA/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+096.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162973557848453490" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aRGKRKsXI/AAAAAAAAAcE/RTkRLYNNAZA/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+096.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paguei uma quantia irrisória, mais dois reais para transportar a bicicleta, e entrei na lancha.

Disse que era comum o barco a remo virar com a força das ondas e que havia uma técnica para desvirar o barco no braço que somente marinheiros fortes e experientes conheciam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chegando do outro lado, depois de percorrer um longo trapiche, encontrei um restaurante simples em Vila Glória onde me serviram o tal de prato "comercial", na verdade um prato "feito".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aSt6RKsaI/AAAAAAAAAcc/Rsa2q1_LNYA/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+099.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162975340259881378" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aSt6RKsaI/AAAAAAAAAcc/Rsa2q1_LNYA/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+099.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Através de informações fui saindo de Vila Glória por uma estrada pésssima, na chuva e contra o vento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aTNqRKsbI/AAAAAAAAAck/9i9AvLy_w_k/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+103.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162975885720727986" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aTNqRKsbI/AAAAAAAAAck/9i9AvLy_w_k/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+103.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parei num posto para pedir informações que confirmassem o caminho e me disseram que eu teria uma longa jornada pela frente não tanto pela distância mas pelas condições da estrada.&lt;br /&gt;Seriam 20 km de pedal num areial fofo e paradoxalmente cheio de costeletas duras.&lt;br /&gt;Como sou otimista fiquei feliz por estar pedalando ali numa tarde de verão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aUu6RKsdI/AAAAAAAAAc4/V5vz_eTFMdE/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+107.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162977556463006162" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aUu6RKsdI/AAAAAAAAAc4/V5vz_eTFMdE/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+107.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apesar dos pesares mantive uma velocidade de uns 10 km/h e fui me afastando de Vila Gloria, entrando num deserto humano, não havia nada na beira do caminho exceto árvores e &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manguezal"&gt;manguezais.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma caminhoneta ford que ia no mesmo sentido passou por mim e parou. O motorista me ofereceu carona e para a surpreza dele agradeci a oferta.&lt;br /&gt;Afinal eu estava ali para pedalar e vencer desafios. Alguns ítens estavam desfavoráveis mas havia um certo prazer de se pedalar naquele deserto, respirando ar puro em meio à natureza, mesmo na chuva. Além disso eu não estava cansado, nem a bicicleta tinha problemas mecânicos. Por esses motivos recusei a oferta com um muito obrigado.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aVzaRKseI/AAAAAAAAAdA/-rGjh4KWIKs/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+104.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162978733284045282" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aVzaRKseI/AAAAAAAAAdA/-rGjh4KWIKs/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+104.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em breve eu estava chegando nas proximidades da prefeitura de Itapoá e entrando no asfalto. Foram cerca de 20 km de pedal naquela estrada arenosa.&lt;br /&gt;Parei num restaurante para tomar um refrigerante e continuei a viagem. Pedalei vários quilômetros na beira duma praia urbanizada e quando pensei que estava saindo da cidade eu estava entrando na zona nobre, uma longa avenida perpendicular ao mar repleta de restaurantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aW9qRKsgI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/fxg0P7-pG_U/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+114.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162980008889332226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aW9qRKsgI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/fxg0P7-pG_U/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+114.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois disso entrei numa estrada asfaltada totalmente deserta no meio duma espécie de &lt;a href="http://litoral.inf.br/verao2008/parques/index.htm"&gt;área de proteção ambiental&lt;/a&gt; e que atravessa a divisa do estado de Santa Catarina com o Paraná.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aXz6RKshI/AAAAAAAAAdY/-T3aZpVFSnw/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+115.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162980940897235474" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aXz6RKshI/AAAAAAAAAdY/-T3aZpVFSnw/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+115.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais uns 20 km de pedal com um vento lateral que fazia a chuva entrar no meu ouvido direito. Alcancei perpendicularmente a rodovia PR 412 que leva a Guaratuba onde peguei um forte vento contra e mais chuva.&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei em Guaratuba por volta das 16 hs literalmente debaixo dágua, pedalando nas ruas alagadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aNPaRKsUI/AAAAAAAAAbs/wGlipqIe3-Q/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+119.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162969318715732290" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aNPaRKsUI/AAAAAAAAAbs/wGlipqIe3-Q/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+119.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procurei um hotel bom e barato e achei um por 25 reais com café, almoço e janta, uma raridade que aparece em tempo feio intermitente nas altas temporadas das praias badaladas.

I awoke early with the intention of visiting the National Museum of the Sea and History Hall. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;After breakfast i cycled in the rain until I find the house "of the screws" to buy two screws that had unlinked from the the left pedal and also i calibrated the tires in a gas station. I gave up from visiting the Historical Museum Municipal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;It was a kind of old house with doors and windows closed that in the principle led me to believe that it was not in operation. I pushed a huge and heavy front door and an old man attended by the half door opened. I felt a smell of old stuff and dryness of the inner of the room. I noticed that it would be complicated to enter there because i was all wet because the rain and also i did not know where to leave the bicycle safe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I decided make the visit only at the Museum of the Sea. A nice girl that was working in the National Museum of the Sea told me that she could take care of my bicycle while I was making the visit. There were several tourists by moving there, despite the rain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I took of the wet waterproof jacket and gloves and started the visit. The museum building was a former U-shaped and was looks like a maze of two floors with arrows indicative of the exit. Up through the maze following signs of plates, going up by numerous rooms each with its theme. I had some haste because it wanted to catch a boat at to 11:30 am to the Glory village in the continent. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I stayed in museu not many time and went to the boat that was almost right to leave, in the historic centre and near the National Museum of the Sea. I paid a sum derisory more i dollar to carry the bike and joined in the boat. It left the island very fast to the other side. I was listening in that trip in the boat a gentleman speaking to an audience about the past times, when there was no mecanic boat and he used to cross the channel woth paddles. He said it was common to the boat rowing turn with the force of the waves and that there was a technique for put it in right place again using the arms only, that only strong and experienced sailors knew. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Arriving on the other side I found a simple restaurant where they served the dish called "trade", a dish with rice, bean and fish and some vegetables. Through information was leaving the Gloria village.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I left it by a very bad road, against the wind and under a hard rain. I stopped in a gas station for information confirming that the way was right and a guy told me that I would have a long journey ahead but not so much because the distance but because the road conditions. Would be 20 km in a pedal in soft sand and paradoxically full of hard little climbs like riples. All this against the wind and under rain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;As I am optimistic I was happy to be there cycling in a sumer day. Despite the road i maintened an average speed of about 10 km / h and entered in an human desert, there was nothing in the side of the road. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;A pick up ford which was going to the same direction passed by me and reduced speed and0 stopped. The driver offered me ride to carry me and my bike and I thanked him for his surprize. I was there to cycle and win challenges. The conditions were unfavourable but there was a certain pleasure to be there pedalling, breathing clean air in the midst of nature, even in the rain. Also I was not tired nor the bike had mechanical problems. For these reasons i refused the offer with a "thank you". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Soon I was getting near the city of Itapoá and entering the asphalt. It was about 20 km of pedal in the sandy road. I stopped in a restaurant to take a pepsi ant and continued the journey. Cycled several kilometres on the verge of an urban beach and when I thought I was leaving the city I was entering the zone noble, a long avenue perpendicular to the sea, full of restaurants. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Then came a road of asphalt totally deserted in the middle of a sort of reserve that is well in the currency of the state of Santa Catarina with the Paraná. More 20 km of pedal with the wind in side which made the drops of rain come into my right ear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I reached a perpendicular road that leads to Guaratuba beach where I caught a strong wind against, mixed with rain. I arrived in Guaratuba around 4 pm and literally underneath of water. There were many streets flooded. I looked for a good and cheap hotel and found one one of 13 dollars a day included meat, lunch and morning coffe, a rarity that appears in times of intermittent rain in the high seasons. According to information, it was raining in that region for seven days without stop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Distance cycled: 60 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Average speed: 15 km/h&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-1143593002003246817?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=55f5e24a7ef8eedc&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=69004f935aaadd9b&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/1143593002003246817/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=1143593002003246817' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1143593002003246817'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1143593002003246817'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html#1143593002003246817' title='São Francisco do Sul - Guaratuba'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6aPMKRKsVI/AAAAAAAAAb0/SPGu20Do1u4/s72-c/FlMr+28.01.08+070.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-1071282245336698476</id><published>2008-02-02T22:02:00.003-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T01:19:26.017-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Florianópolis - São Francisco do Sul</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67dvj8-6FI/AAAAAAAAAfA/TVIH3vyG20I/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165309631815149650" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67dvj8-6FI/AAAAAAAAAfA/TVIH3vyG20I/s400/FlMr+28.01.08+002.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Musica: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9162824073426469298&amp;amp;q=tranquility+base+geting+away+leama&amp;amp;total=3&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;num=10&amp;amp;so=0&amp;amp;type=search&amp;amp;plindex=0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tranquility Base - Getting Away&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois da cicloviagem de Porto Alegre a Florianópolis via Cambará do Sul, pedalei até Morretes no Paraná.&lt;br /&gt;A primeira etapa da viagem aconteceu após quatro dias de descanso em Florianópolis onde meus niveis séricos de endorfina voltaram ao normal nas rochas do Costão do Santinho e nas areias da praia do Campeche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Observando as &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/1217/Rupestre.htm"&gt;artes rupestres&lt;/a&gt; do Costão do Santinho, decidi pedalar 200 km num único dia, de Florianópolis a São Francisco do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;A idéia era de seguir rumo ao norte e pelo litoral até Paranaguá onde pegaria o &lt;a href="http://www.serraverdeexpress.com.br/"&gt;trem&lt;/a&gt; que vai até Curitiba atravessando o trecho mais preservad&lt;span style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;o de Mata Atlântica do Brasil.&lt;br /&gt;De Curitiba embarcaria num ônibus de volta para Porto Alegre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parti da praia do Campeche no dia 28 de janeiro por volta da 8:30 hs. Quando cheguei no centro de Florianópolis começou a chover forte e tive de ficar um tempo abrigado debaixo da ponte Pedro Ivo Campos conversando com um ciclista speedeiro que estava treinando para uma competição.&lt;br /&gt;Assim que a chuva arrefeceu parti num ritmo forte rumo à BR 101 através do bairro Estreito.&lt;br /&gt;Apesar do peso do alforje mantive uma velocidade acima de 30 km/h na BR 101, passando direto por Biguaçu, aproveitando que não tinha vento contra nem a favor.&lt;br /&gt;Pedalei com otimismo crescente até as proximidades de Tijucas onde um vento surgiu de repente, desacelerando a velocidade.&lt;br /&gt;Fiz algumas paradas nas proximidades da Praia de Itapema e logo continuei a viagem a uns 20 km/h contra o vento insistente. Muito pedal e paradas rápidas, me fizeram recordar as provas de longa distância do &lt;a href="http://www.audaxbrasil.com.br/"&gt;Audax&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6Iqt6RKsII/AAAAAAAAAaM/mZx_HtLtkKI/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161735091143749762" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6Iqt6RKsII/AAAAAAAAAaM/mZx_HtLtkKI/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+011.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6IwT6RKsNI/AAAAAAAAAa0/U30-KvvF8uc/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+009.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161741241536917714" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6IwT6RKsNI/AAAAAAAAAa0/U30-KvvF8uc/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quase na metade do caminho e eu ainda não me sentia cansado, mas o vento forte prenunciava um temporal e tirava um pouco o prazer do pedal, isso me fez pensar em mudar os planos para um pernoite em Barra Velha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei no tunel do Morro do Boi em Balneário Camboriu ao meio dia com cerca de 85 km pedalados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6IrdqRKsJI/AAAAAAAAAaU/9omgpdsaFVs/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+019.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67dOT8-6EI/AAAAAAAAAe4/jvHtKwiQfz4/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+020.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165309060584499266" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67dOT8-6EI/AAAAAAAAAe4/jvHtKwiQfz4/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-580db9ba4aa0d01" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v13.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D0580db9ba4aa0d01%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D449D5FD74CFFACC2142D865451990F68A917DCE5.761A66CDDF6B5BFD596BBEA7FA6796DDBE539185%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D580db9ba4aa0d01%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D-96lKL89iot5I3J2ZnhMJnf8480&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v13.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D0580db9ba4aa0d01%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D449D5FD74CFFACC2142D865451990F68A917DCE5.761A66CDDF6B5BFD596BBEA7FA6796DDBE539185%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D580db9ba4aa0d01%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D-96lKL89iot5I3J2ZnhMJnf8480&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Balneário Camboriu fiz uma parada para o almoço sem entrar na cidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já havia pedalado bastante em Balneário Camboriu e arredores por ocasião do campeonato mundial de mountain bike de 2005 quando eu e o amigo &lt;a href="http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html"&gt;Jessé&lt;/a&gt; tivemos um encontro histórico sobre duas rodas. Fomos de bicicleta até a praia de laranjeiras para assistir o campeonato, entre outros pedais curtos.&lt;br /&gt;Naquela ocasião, depois de umas garrafas de cerveja, parti no meio da tarde para bombinhas retornando à noite e de carona em uma belina porque o pneu traseiro da minha bicicleta sundown shimanimal havia rasgado em Itapema.

Pelo menos o vento cedeu um pouco e pude retomar uma velocidade acima dos 25 km/h.

Portanto não vasculhei muito o preço nem fiz comparações de preco/qualidade de hotéis indo ficar no &lt;a href="http://www.hotelkontiki.com.br/"&gt;Hotel Kontini &lt;/a&gt;no centro histórico de São Francisco do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6Iy8KRKsSI/AAAAAAAAAbc/9a6A_SmJuRw/s1600-h/FlMr+28.01.08+067.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161744132049908002" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R6Iy8KRKsSI/AAAAAAAAAbc/9a6A_SmJuRw/s320/FlMr+28.01.08+067.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância Pedalada: 200 km&lt;br /&gt;Vm: 22 km/h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Florianópolis city - São Francisco do Sul city&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;After the trip from Porto Alegre to Floranópolis city by Cambará do Sul city, I cycled until Morretes city in Parana state.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;The first stage of the trip occurred after four days of rest in Floripa city where the levels of serum endorfine returned to normal on the sands of Barra da Lagoa beach and rocks of the Costão do Santinho. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Looking to the the rupestre arts of Costão, I decided to pedal 200 km in a single day, from Florianopolis to São Francisco do Sul city.&lt;br /&gt;The complete plan was to follow towards the north and by the coast until Paranaguá where i was going to take the famous train up to Curitiba city and crossing the stretch more preserved of the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. From Curitiba city i would take a bus back to Porto Alegre city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;I left the beach of Campeche on January 28 around 8:30 am. When I arrived in the centre of Florianopolis it began raining strong and I had to be a time sheltered under the bridge where i talked to a cyclist who was training for a competition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Once the rain cooled i went in a strong pace towards the BR 101 through the village of Estreito. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Spite the weight of the bag i cycled in a speed above 30 km / h on the BR 101, passing directly by Biguaçu, taking advantage which had not wind against the motion. I was in that rhythm and with growing optimism to the vicinity of Tijucas where a wind came up suddenly, making me decrease the speed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;I made some stops at the Beach, and nearby Itapema and then continued to travel some 20 km / h against the wind insistent. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;I was in that rhythm with a few stops and much pedal, so this trip from Florianopolis to São Francisco do Sul was a half-style Audax. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Almost in the middle of the road and I had not yet I felt tired, but the strong wind showed that would come a storm and it was taking a little of the pleasure of the pedal, it made me think about changing the plans for an overnight at Barra Velha beach instead S. Francisco. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;I arrived at the tunnel of the Bull in Camboriu beach in at noon with about 85 km cycled. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;In Balneario Camboriu made a stop for lunch without entering the city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;I had yet cycled in Camboriu and surroundings at the world championship of mountain bike in 2005 when I and my friend Jessé had a historic meeting on two wheels. We were cycling to the beach to watch the championship in Orange beach, among other pedals for short vicinity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;On that occasion, after a few bottles of beer, i cycled the middle of the afternoon to bombinhas returning at night and ride in an old car because my rear tire had tears in Itapema beach. From there never cycled away without taking tire reserve. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;So after lunch in Camboriu beach i went cycling at so so 20 km / h against an increasingly strong wind, passing the banks of Itajaí, Navegantes, in addition to Barra Velha beach, forgetting completely the idea of stay there. São Francisco do Sul was once again the target of the day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;I was cycling almost without stopping until the viaduct of the BR 101 which leads to S. Francisco do Sul and Jaguaruna where it began raining. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;A heavy rain that forced me to use the waterproof jacket. At least the wind eased a bit and could resume a speed above 25 km / h. I cycled through the bar of S. Francisco and so i entered in the island finally. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Further before rain stopped and then resumed later to rain. The rain came and went so sporadic that was stabilized when I was finally arriving close to San Francisco. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Entered in the urban perimeter with a strong rain around from 6:30 pm. As it was still day I made a trip tour in the rain drawing to search for a place to sleep. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;I stop in the historic centre in a hotel of medium quality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;In that particular point of the pedal all i wanted was protect me from the rain, take a hot shower, dry me and stop pedaling. So not much looked for many hotels nor made comparisons of price / quality of hotels going up in the Hotel Kontini in the Historic Centre of São Francisco do Sul city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Distance cycled: 200 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Average speed: 22 km/h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-1071282245336698476?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=580db9ba4aa0d01&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=c390f437efa7773c&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/1071282245336698476/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=1071282245336698476' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1071282245336698476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1071282245336698476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html#1071282245336698476' title='Florianópolis - São Francisco do Sul'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R67dvj8-6FI/AAAAAAAAAfA/TVIH3vyG20I/s72-c/FlMr+28.01.08+002.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-4698558861450878364</id><published>2008-01-23T18:10:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T01:19:27.376-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Garopaba - Florianópolis</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jIcqRKr3I/AAAAAAAAAYE/u8Ej6yqJNS8/s1600-h/DSC02250.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159093767861088114" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jIcqRKr3I/AAAAAAAAAYE/u8Ej6yqJNS8/s400/DSC02250.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Musica:&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2943678211711232365&amp;amp;q=peyote+music&amp;amp;total=91&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;num=10&amp;amp;so=0&amp;amp;type=search&amp;amp;plindex=1"&gt;

Com alguns meses de musculação e viagens semanais curtas meu organismo adaptou-se bem aos vários dias de intensa atividade física.&lt;br /&gt;Há alguns anos mesmo sem alforje eu não havia conseguido subir o morro da Gamboa enquanto que agora consegui subir o morro sem empurrar a bicicleta carregando o sobrepeso do alforje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jPq6RKr7I/AAAAAAAAAYk/xVKV4mBgUi4/s1600-h/DSC02261.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159101709255618482" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jPq6RKr7I/AAAAAAAAAYk/xVKV4mBgUi4/s320/DSC02261.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A subida do morro é íngreme e longa mas compensa no final. No alto é possível de se ver a metade sul da ilha de Florianópolis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Após a subida vem a descida. Mais um trecho e se chega sem muito esforço na BR 101 em Paulo Lopes.&lt;br /&gt;De Paulo Lopes pegamos um trecho da BR 101 já duplicado onde aceleramos a mais de 30 km/h.&lt;br /&gt;A subida do morro dos cavalos foi lenta e pelo acostamento na contra mão para evitar a proximidade com o trânsito intenso de caminhões e ausência de acostamento no lado direito.&lt;br /&gt;No final da subida tomamos um guaraná pureza e continuamos a jornada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descendo mais uma dezena de quilômetros e chegamos em Palhoça onde almoçamos num dos poucos restaurantes da beira da BR 101.&lt;br /&gt;Saímos dali com preguiça e devagar. Entramos em Florianópolis às 15 hs em meio a um trânsito intenso de veículos, cruzamos a ponte e o túnel e pedalamos em alta velocidade até o bairro Campeche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jQ_KRKr8I/AAAAAAAAAYs/8XnzGr0NxUk/s1600-h/DSC02265.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159103156659597250" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jQ_KRKr8I/AAAAAAAAAYs/8XnzGr0NxUk/s320/DSC02265.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de um breve descanso meu parceiro ainda foi até a barra da lagoa pedalando.

At the top is possible to see a half south of the island of Florianopolis. After the rise comes the fall. More a piece and we arrived in BR 101 road in Paulo Lopes city without much effort. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;From Paulo Lopes we got a piece of the yet doubled BR 101 road where we accelerate over 30 km / h. The rise of the hill of horses was slow and in the sidewalk against in hand to avoid proximity to the intense transit of trucks and no no sidewalk on the right side. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;At the end of the hike we took purity guarana soda in a drink bar and continued the tour. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;Descending more we arrived in Palhoça city in a stretch where we lunched in one of the few restaurants in the roadside. We continued with laziness and slowly.&lt;br /&gt;We entered in Florianopolis in an intense transit of vehicles, cross the bridge and tunnel and cycled at high speed until the neighborhood of Campeche beach. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;After a brief rest my partner continued cycling until the the “bar of the Conceição” beach. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;At night we meet again for a dinner in Tio Patinhas pizzaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distance cycled: 85 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total cicled: 536 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-4698558861450878364?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=d607e58dd3597c7f&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/4698558861450878364/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=4698558861450878364' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4698558861450878364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/4698558861450878364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#4698558861450878364' title='Garopaba - Florianópolis'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jIcqRKr3I/AAAAAAAAAYE/u8Ej6yqJNS8/s72-c/DSC02250.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-3498863678326630408</id><published>2008-01-22T21:36:00.001-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T01:19:27.767-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Imbituba - Garopaba</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i_sqRKryI/AAAAAAAAAXc/xzkCnMXZiR0/s1600-h/DSC02213.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159084147134344994" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i_sqRKryI/AAAAAAAAAXc/xzkCnMXZiR0/s400/DSC02213.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resolvemos aproveitar o dia de sol para pegar uma praia e descansar.&lt;br /&gt;De manhã cedo fomos para a praia da vila onde ficamos lagarteando por horas sobre as pedras escutando o barulho do mar.&lt;br /&gt;Já com o sol forte tomamos banho numa água cristalina de espumas brancas. Praia excelente, com boa estrutura e pouca poluição.&lt;br /&gt;Almoçamos num buffet a quilo e pegamos nossas bicicletas no hotel.&lt;br /&gt;O próximo destino seria Barra de Ibiraquera onde esperávamos conseguir pousada na casa de uns parentes.&lt;br /&gt;Passamos pelo porto de Imbituba e depois de uma subida descemos em direção à barra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-bc1bf7ae417d6ded" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v23.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dbc1bf7ae417d6ded%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D4B6DAB3A483FFB3DB7807943D03413F0814819AE.5FAD9DC0A951DD22A2190469AFE0FE651E0D625%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dbc1bf7ae417d6ded%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DuSfw8lF5LBlVS80oRrL9X7O4zds&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v23.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dbc1bf7ae417d6ded%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D4B6DAB3A483FFB3DB7807943D03413F0814819AE.5FAD9DC0A951DD22A2190469AFE0FE651E0D625%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dbc1bf7ae417d6ded%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DuSfw8lF5LBlVS80oRrL9X7O4zds&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mar azul e muita natureza, ar puro. Pretendíamos pedalar apenas uns 10 km naquele dia e o resto do tempo ficar na praia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A casa estava lotada na Barra de Ibiraquera assim decidimos pedalar até Garopaba evitando nos molharmos ao cruzar a barra que estava ligada ao mar - de vez em quando e conforme a maré ela fecha e permite a passagem de veículos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jDkqRKr1I/AAAAAAAAAX0/7c4GnCYUfDU/s1600-h/DSC02224.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159088407741902674" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jDkqRKr1I/AAAAAAAAAX0/7c4GnCYUfDU/s320/DSC02224.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de um sorvete, pedalamos costeando a lagoa do Quintino até a localidade de Alto Arroio onde tenho uns parentes. Ali comemos uma saborosa melancia e seguimos viagem.&lt;br /&gt;Com 36 km pedalados chegamos em Garopaba onde ficamos numa pousada boa e barata de frente para o mar. Mais um banho de mar e fomos jantar numa galeteria e casas de massas nos preparando para o ultimo dia da cicloaventura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jGA6RKr2I/AAAAAAAAAX8/pco3cwVf0RY/s1600-h/DSC02240.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159091092096462690" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5jGA6RKr2I/AAAAAAAAAX8/pco3cwVf0RY/s320/DSC02240.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imbituba city - Garopaba&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;city&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We decided take the day of sunshine to go to beach and relax like beachbooms. Early in the morning we went to the Vila beach where we stayed laid for hours on the rocks listening to the roar of the sea. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Under a strong sun we took a bath in foams white, crystalline water. Excellent beach, with good structure and little pollution. We had a lunch in a buffet per kilo and take our bicycles at the hotel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The next destination would be the Ibiraquera bar where I hoped achieve Hostel in the house of some relatives. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We passed by the port of Imbituba and after a climb we went down toward the bar. Blue sea and many nature, clean air. We wanted to ride only about 10 km that day and the rest of the time go to the beach. The house was blended in Barra de Ibiraquera beach thus we decided to ride until Garopaba city avoiding getting wet crossing the bar that was connected to the sea - from time to time and as the tide closes, it allows the passage of vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;To arrive in Garopaba, after an ice cream, we cycled by the edge of the Quintino lagoon until the locality of Alto Arroio where I have some relatives. There we ate a watermelon and followed a tasty trip. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;With 36 km cycled we arrived in Garopaba where we got a good and cheap hostel facing the sea. Another bath of sea and after a dinner in a pasta house and we were right for the last day of our trip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-3498863678326630408?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=bc1bf7ae417d6ded&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/3498863678326630408/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=3498863678326630408' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3498863678326630408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3498863678326630408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#3498863678326630408' title='Imbituba - Garopaba'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i_sqRKryI/AAAAAAAAAXc/xzkCnMXZiR0/s72-c/DSC02213.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-6494554848995428697</id><published>2008-01-21T22:33:00.001-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T01:19:28.755-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Turvo - Imbituba</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i1_qRKruI/AAAAAAAAAW8/jI-Q_vNIGTo/s1600-h/DSC02170.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159073478435581666" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i1_qRKruI/AAAAAAAAAW8/jI-Q_vNIGTo/s400/DSC02170.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No inicio da manhã fomos procurar uma bicicletaria para consertar a correia da bicicleta do Alberto.&lt;br /&gt;Duas alicates e a mão treinada com 40 anos de prática do seu Mário resolveram o problema na correia.&lt;br /&gt;Aproveitei e emendei o pé de apoio da minha bicicleta com um resto de metal sucateado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partimos às 9:30 hs de Turvo a mais de 25 km/h aproveitando as condições favoráveis de um caminho asfaltado entre arrozais, pouco movimentado com acostamento liso, sol e vento a favor.&lt;br /&gt;Passamos por Meleiro e Forquilhinha. Num ritmo forte, rapidamente e sem perceber, antes do meio dia estávamos entrando em Criciúma.&lt;br /&gt;Tomamos um refrigerante de abacaxi numa lancheria, e seguimos em direção a Morro da Fumaça. No caminho paramos numa padaria/restaurante onde serviam um excelente buffet a preço módico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seguimos o pedal com certa preguiça, passamos pelas inúmeras olarias de Morro da Fumaça até chegarmos enfim à BR 101 nas proximidades de Jaguaruna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5vtgqRKsGI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/nkkiH1RzAfw/s1600-h/DSC02190.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159978943440924770" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5vtgqRKsGI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/nkkiH1RzAfw/s320/DSC02190.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Havia trechos paralelos em obras, verdadeiras ciclovias livres de trânsito de veículos automotores. Fomos experimentando esse luxo até nos atrapalharmos e cairmos o primeiro e ultimo tombo da cicloviagem em parceria.&lt;br /&gt;Geralmente os acidentes acontecem por um somatório de fatos sincrônicos, e dessa vez não fugiu à regra. Sempre que pode o Alberto pega um vácuo ou “remoriza”. Vínhamos a uns 15 km/h no acostamento quando vi uma ciclovia do outro lado da BR. O Alberto caiu no meu ponto cego enquanto vinha no meu vácuo.&lt;br /&gt;Virei à esquerda para cruzar a BR 101 e levei uma trombada que a principio achei que fosse de caminhão pelo berro do Alberto. Mas foi uma simples cortada. Caímos embolados com bicicletas e alforjes no meio da BR 101, mas não houve danos materiais ou corporais exceto pelo roxo superficial na patela do meu joelho esquerdo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i8V6RKrwI/AAAAAAAAAXM/MGRzd_Y3O50/s1600-h/DSC02201.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159080457757437698" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i8V6RKrwI/AAAAAAAAAXM/MGRzd_Y3O50/s320/DSC02201.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Levantamos do chão e fomos a partir dali pedalando distantes um do outro e evitando cruzar a BR tamanho foi o susto.

Por volta das 19 hs encontramos um hotel relativamente bom e relativamente barato e logo em seguida jantamos uma “a la minuta”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalada: 160 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-c6cafca8e05d7bbe" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v1.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc6cafca8e05d7bbe%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6149D54645DFAA685441C184FA1D77E19F121B40.23C50BE513B81207FD45BF0ED680DC0CE490DD77%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc6cafca8e05d7bbe%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DVc9mmcABWbYa0JQS71IJ_Ndt88o&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v1.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dc6cafca8e05d7bbe%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6149D54645DFAA685441C184FA1D77E19F121B40.23C50BE513B81207FD45BF0ED680DC0CE490DD77%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dc6cafca8e05d7bbe%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DVc9mmcABWbYa0JQS71IJ_Ndt88o&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Turvo city - Imbituba city&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;At the beginning of the morning we seek for a place to repair the belt-cycling of Alberto. Two pliers and hand trained with 40 years of practice of Mr. Mário resolved the problem in the belt. I took in repaired the leg that support from my bicycle with a metal rest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We left at 9:30 am from Turvo city at more than 25 km/h taking advantage of favourable conditions of a asphalted road between paddy fields, little busy with sidewalk smooth, sun, and wind in favour. We passed by Meleiro and Forquilhinha cities.&lt;br /&gt;In a strong pace, quickly and without realizing, before noon we were entering in Criciúma city. We took a soda from a pineapple drink bar and followed toward Morro da Fumaça city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;On the way we stopped in a bakery/restaurant where an excellent buffet was served by an affordable price. Then we cycled with a certain laziness, passing by the many roof factories of Morro da Fumaça city until finally reaching the railroad being built BR 101 near Jaguaruna city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;There were stretches in parallel sides, real bike paths free from transit of automobile. We experimented this luxury until we fall down in the first and last crashing of our trip together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Usually the accidents happen for a sum of facts synchronous, and this time not fled to the rule. When Alberto can he handle a vacuum or link to a truck using his hands in climbs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We was going at so so 15 km/h when no I saw a cycle way in the other side of the road. Alberto entered in my blind spot while he was going behind me in my vacuum. I turned left to cross the road and I was crashed thinking at principle that it was a truck by the shout of Alberto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Fortunatelly it was a simple cut. We fell down all together with bicycles and baggage in the middle of the road BR 101, but no damage or bodily except for the purple surface of the patella in my left knee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We stood up from the ground and from there we cycled away from each other and avoiding cross the road because we were scared with the crash. We stopped in the first post of gasoline for a soda, I spent calminex ointment in the knee and continued the trip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We cycled until the entry of Imbituba city stopped where a kiosk from distant relatives and then we went to the centre of the city looking for a place to stay. We found a hotel relatively good and relatively cheap at 7 pm and had a dinner in a small drink bar on the front hotel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Pedalling Distance: 160 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-6494554848995428697?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=c6cafca8e05d7bbe&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/6494554848995428697/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=6494554848995428697' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6494554848995428697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6494554848995428697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#6494554848995428697' title='Turvo - Imbituba'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5i1_qRKruI/AAAAAAAAAW8/jI-Q_vNIGTo/s72-c/DSC02170.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-3736114858307692389</id><published>2008-01-20T22:50:00.001-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:23:39.825-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Cambará do Sul - Turvo</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gsFqRKrmI/AAAAAAAAAV8/D5zR2TGFAWI/s1600-h/DSC02143.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158921848910163554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gsFqRKrmI/AAAAAAAAAV8/D5zR2TGFAWI/s400/DSC02143.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Musica de Fundo: &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2935649423172398903&amp;amp;q=honeyroot&amp;amp;total=33&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;num=10&amp;amp;so=0&amp;amp;type=search&amp;amp;plindex=5"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Honeyroot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O dia amanheceu nublado em Cambará do Sul.

Caminho trepidante, enlameado e de pouco movimento. Foi difícil de conseguir uma boa velocidade devido ao pedregal somado ao peso do alforje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um sobe e desce lerdo sem muitos atrativos panorâmicos a não ser o aspecto selvagem dos campos ao derredor e aquela estrada de terra desaparecendo ao longe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gUKaRKrZI/AAAAAAAAAUU/w4bLBRqJjWI/s1600-h/DSC02072.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158895542235475346" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gUKaRKrZI/AAAAAAAAAUU/w4bLBRqJjWI/s320/DSC02072.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gS86RKrYI/AAAAAAAAAUM/7jcOwiglEww/s1600-h/DSC02079.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No caminho passamos por Vila Picada e Santana onde existe uma grande fábrica de celulose às márgens de um rio, a &lt;a href="http://www.cambarasa.com.br/"&gt;Cambará SA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gXAaRKrbI/AAAAAAAAAUk/uLSw2x1I1-A/s1600-h/DSC02088.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158898668971666866" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gXAaRKrbI/AAAAAAAAAUk/uLSw2x1I1-A/s320/DSC02088.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gZp6RKrdI/AAAAAAAAAU0/ycJxJZnUgIc/s1600-h/DSC02094.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5oQCqRKsEI/AAAAAAAAAZs/CqZclvI3Oew/s1600-h/DSC02086.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159453960998400066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5oQCqRKsEI/AAAAAAAAAZs/CqZclvI3Oew/s320/DSC02086.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devido à trepidação, perdi a ponta do pezinho suporte da bicicleta que faz com que ela pare de pé. Tentei improvisar com um pedaço de galho verde mas ele não resistiu ao peso do alforje. Assim tive de utilizar pedras para apoiar a outra metade do pé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gYSKRKrcI/AAAAAAAAAUs/bDMucqjMIOE/s1600-h/DSC02091.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158900073425972674" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gYSKRKrcI/AAAAAAAAAUs/bDMucqjMIOE/s320/DSC02091.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gZp6RKrdI/AAAAAAAAAU0/ycJxJZnUgIc/s1600-h/DSC02094.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158901580959493586" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gZp6RKrdI/AAAAAAAAAU0/ycJxJZnUgIc/s320/DSC02094.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por volta das 13:00 hs chegamos em Encruzilhada das Antas onde planejávamos almoçar. Mas por surpresa havia apenas um posto policial no local e uma pousada mais adiante no caminho de São José dos Ausentes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A solução foi comer algumas barras de cereais e seguir viagem apesar do Alberto já estar visivelmente cansado e sob os efeitos da &lt;a href="http://www.totalsport.com.br/colunas/ricardo/ed2800.htm"&gt;endorfina&lt;/a&gt;.

Começou a chover, vesti a jaqueta impermeável e segui a jornada. Meu espelho retrovisor saltou longe devido à trepidação e espatifou-se.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gtaqRKrnI/AAAAAAAAAWE/J80ZYXP3_AE/s1600-h/DSC02146.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158923309199044210" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gtaqRKrnI/AAAAAAAAAWE/J80ZYXP3_AE/s320/DSC02146.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gu3KRKroI/AAAAAAAAAWM/d2XBwG84IJ4/s1600-h/DSC02149.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158924898336943746" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gu3KRKroI/AAAAAAAAAWM/d2XBwG84IJ4/s320/DSC02149.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desci uns 10 k m e encontrei o Alberto sob uma parada de ônibus na zona rural de Timbé do Sul. Propus que seguíssemos viagem mesmo na chuva para procurar um lugar para comer. Segui na frente e encontrei uma boa lanchonete na beira da estrada a 500 m da parada de ônibus onde estava o Alberto. Comi uns pastéis com suco de laranja enquanto esperava o parceiro.&lt;br /&gt;Ele chegou preocupado dizendo que um dos laços do alforje havia entrado no câmbio traseiro e que tinha danificado a relação. Apesar de um barulho a cada volta da correia ainda dava para pedalar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de um lanche entramos de volta no asfalto, passamos por Timbé do Sul procurando uma oficina de bicicleta, mas estavam todas fechadas porque era domingo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gwMaRKrpI/AAAAAAAAAWU/KDVKQVn_tdA/s1600-h/DSC02153.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158926362920791698" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gwMaRKrpI/AAAAAAAAAWU/KDVKQVn_tdA/s320/DSC02153.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Alberto descobriu que o problema era a correia torta. Antes de tentarmos extrair a parte danificada, decidimos pedalar até Turvo e continuar procurando uma oficina.&lt;br /&gt;O plano era seguir até Criciúma que ficava a 45 km de Turvo, mas devido ao visível cansaço do Alberto mais o problema da correia da bicicleta, decidimos ficar por ali mesmo.&lt;br /&gt;Lavei o barro grudado na bicicleta num posto de gasolina e fomos para o hotel Manente, enorme, vazio, bom e barato.&lt;br /&gt;Tomei uma ducha quente e fomos procurar um restaurante para jantar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turvo é uma cidade de ruas largas, próspera como a maioria das cidades de SC. É conhecida como “Capital da Mecanização Agrícola e do Arroz”, já que é o município com o maior índice de mecanização da lavoura no país.&lt;br /&gt;Havia uma pizzaria aberta onde nos serviram uma pizza grande gigante que não conseguimos comer inteira e tive de levar a sobra para o hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalada: 86 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-58cbd992e654efef" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D58cbd992e654efef%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6A5A3EDA8EF38E9F93EB66A2E7C2D2E90976CC96.6F11ACB45ED4AF90C6D620AA310726FC19ECDE1D%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D58cbd992e654efef%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D1HbFoh3VSLWZUSJQ_ldJuwyzE3o&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D58cbd992e654efef%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6A5A3EDA8EF38E9F93EB66A2E7C2D2E90976CC96.6F11ACB45ED4AF90C6D620AA310726FC19ECDE1D%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D58cbd992e654efef%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D1HbFoh3VSLWZUSJQ_ldJuwyzE3o&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Cambará do Sul city - Turvo city&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Music: &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2935649423172398903&amp;amp;q=honeyroot&amp;amp;total=33&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;num=10&amp;amp;so=0&amp;amp;type=search&amp;amp;plindex=5"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Honeyroot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The morning was cloudy in Cambará do Sul city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We collect our clothes and shoes above heater and left at 8:30 am to Criciúma city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;From Cambará we took a road of earth and stone. Hard mud path with a lot of stones and little movement. It was difficult to achieve a good speed due to stones added to the weight of the bag. An slow up and down without many panoramic attractions unless the wild aspect of the fields around and the road of land disappearing in the distance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;On the way we passed by Picada and Santana village where there is a large pulp factory, the Cambará SA. Because of the jitter, I lost the tip that support the bike in line. I tried to improvise with a piece of green branch but is not resisted the weight of the bag. So I had to use stones to support the other half of the foot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Around 01:00 pm we arrived at the Encruzilhada das Antas village where we was planning to have a lunch. But by surprise there were only the police post and a hostel ahead, in the path of São José dos Ausentes city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The solution was to eat some cereal bars and follow the travel despite Alberto already be visibly tired and on the effects of hallucinogens endorphine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;He reported that he had confused me with a bush and that saw a chicken that became a white stone ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;From Encruzilhada das Antas village we climbed 3 km to the motto of RS with SC states. A fog reached us. It was a cloud that came from down and quickly took over all, the road became increasingly muddy and we began pedaling in a foggy environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Suddenly the road and bowed initiated the slope of the rocinha mountain range. We could see few, the trees nearby and some meters of road ahead. But gradually the fog was desappearing. Ahead it was possible to see hills and towns. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We were cycling in a moderate speed on that road of mud with stones. It began to rain and I had to wear the waterproof jacket and followed the journey. My mirror jumped far due to jitter and crashed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I went down so so 10 km and found the Alberto under a parade of buses in the rural area of Timbé do Sul city. I proposed that we continued the journey even thought in the rain to find a place to eat. I went on the front and found a good cafeteria at the roadside so so 500 m far from the bus stop, where was Alberto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I ate a pastel with orange juice while expecting the partner. He arrived worried saying that one of the ties of the bag had entered in the rear derailleur, which had damaged the relationship in gears. Despite a fuss about each of the belt still was able to ride.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;After more a snack of mud and stones we come back in the asphalt, and went to Timbé do Sul city looking for a workshop on a bicycle, but were all closed because it was Sunday. Alberto discovered that the problem was a crooked belt. Before trying to extract the damaged part, decided to ride Turvo and continue looking for a workshop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The plan was to go until Criciúma city which was 45 km far from Turvo city, but due to the visible tiredness of Alberto more the problem in his bicycle we decided stay in Turvo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I washed the the clay on my bicycle on a gas station and went to the hotel Manente, huge, empty, good and cheap. After a shower we went to a restaurant for dinner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Turvo is a city of wide streets, prosperous as most cities in SC state. It is known as the "Capital of agricultural mechanization and rice," since it is the municipality with the largest index of mechanization of farming in Brazil. There was a pizzeria open where they served us a pizza giant that we could not eat whole and I had to bring over to the hotel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Distance cycled: 86 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-3736114858307692389?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=58cbd992e654efef&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/3736114858307692389/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=3736114858307692389' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3736114858307692389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3736114858307692389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#3736114858307692389' title='Cambará do Sul - Turvo'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gsFqRKrmI/AAAAAAAAAV8/D5zR2TGFAWI/s72-c/DSC02143.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-6450406726259926104</id><published>2008-01-19T21:00:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:23:40.540-02:00</updated><title type='text'>São Francisco de Paula - Cambará do Sul</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5kWW6RKr-I/AAAAAAAAAY8/azSAU0Ryr-8/s1600-h/DSC02061.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159179430983806946" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5kWW6RKr-I/AAAAAAAAAY8/azSAU0Ryr-8/s400/DSC02061.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A chuva da noite anterior continuou no início da manhã. Saímos pedalando da pousada do Mirão em São Francisco de Paula sob forte chuva por volta das 8:00 hs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estava frio e tive de vestir a jaqueta impermeável. A despeito da chuvarada não havia vento forte, o terreno era quase plano e o asfalto convidativo para pedais velozes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Alberto ficou melhor dos joelhos, parou de chover nas imediações de Tainhas. Pedalamos fazendo poucas paradas e pudemos alcançar uma velocidade média tolerável para nosso objetivo final.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gIz6RKrVI/AAAAAAAAAT0/DE1wDF-uVY4/s1600-h/DSC02062.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158883061060513106" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gIz6RKrVI/AAAAAAAAAT0/DE1wDF-uVY4/s320/DSC02062.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No meio do caminho um motorista nos informou que um grupo de ciclistas também estava pedalando naquela estrada vindo em nossa direção.&lt;br /&gt;Comentamos de forma humorada sobre o porquê daqueles ciclistas estarem pedalando ali na chuva e frio ao invés de irem para a praia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gC4KRKrTI/AAAAAAAAATk/PlMaVIKCq94/s1600-h/DSC02058.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158876537005190450" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gC4KRKrTI/AAAAAAAAATk/PlMaVIKCq94/s320/DSC02058.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chegamos em Cambará do Sul ao meio dia e almoçamos num bom restaurante na entrada da cidade. Voltou a chover.&lt;br /&gt;Decidimos que, devido às circunstâncias - chuva, acrescido da remanescente dor dos joelhos do Alberto - pernoitaríamos em Cambará. A intenção original era de pedalar até Encruzilhada das Antas ou Timbé do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procuramos o &lt;a href="http://www.albergues.com.br/sitenovo/hostelbrasil.php?UF="&gt;Albergue da Juventude &lt;/a&gt;de Cambará do Sul onde noutros pedais eu já tinha ficado um fim de semana com um grupo de ciclistas.&lt;br /&gt;Não havia mais albergue, e o antigo gerente agora trabalhava num hotel do centro da cidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saímos pela cidade a procurar uma pousada boa e barata de preferência com sala de jogos, pois ficaríamos um longo tempo praticamente sem fazer nada, pelo menos enquanto estivesse chovendo.&lt;br /&gt;Eu não havia levado nenhum livro para ler para evitar sobrepeso, nem meu violão pelo volume em excesso. O Alberto não tinha trazido o tabuleiro de Go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assim ficamos na pousada Pôr do Sol com mesa de sinuca, fla-flu e baralho de cartas.&lt;br /&gt;De noite parou de chover e saimos da pousada para comer um Cheese.&lt;br /&gt;O Alberto comprou o medicamento Celebra (celecoxibe) para a dor nos joelhos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apesar dos nossos alforjes serem tidos por impermeáveis, tudo o que havia no seu interior ficou bastante molhado.&lt;br /&gt;Dependuramos as tralhas úmidas sobre o aquecedor a gás do quarto e fomos dormir cedo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gMsaRKrWI/AAAAAAAAAT8/YjlLWfAQ_Lo/s1600-h/DSC02067.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5kzCqRKsBI/AAAAAAAAAZU/LRdWserNEQY/s1600-h/DSC02065.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159210968928661522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5kzCqRKsBI/AAAAAAAAAZU/LRdWserNEQY/s320/DSC02065.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalada: 70 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;São Francisco de Paula city - Cambará do Sul city&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The rain of the last night was extended to the morning. We left Mirão Hostel under heavy rain from around 8:00 am. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The climate was cold, I had to wear a waterproof jacket. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Despite the rain, there was no strong wing against us and the ground was almost plan asphalt, inviting for a fast pedal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alberto was improving a little by the knees and we stopped few, stopped the rain, and we &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;could reach an average speed tolerable to the ultimate goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;In the middle of the road a driver informed us that a group of cyclists was also cycling by the road coming into our direction. I talked to Alberto in a good mood that I would like to know why those cyclists were there pedaling in that road semi-deserted in the fields from top of the mountain, a place with rain and cold rather than go to the beaches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We arrived in Cambará do Sul city at noon. The rain came back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We lunched in a good restaurant at the entrance of the city and decided that due to the circumstances of strong rain plus the remainder of the pain of the knees of Alberto, we would stop cycling that day. The original intent was pedaling until Encruzilhada das Antas village or Timbé do Sul city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We looked for the International Hostelling where in other pedals I had been a weekend with a large group of cyclists. There was no more international hostel, and the former manager now was working in some hotel in the city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;So we seek for a good and cheap hotel preferably with a room of games, because we would stay a long time without doing practically nothing, at least as was raining. I had not taken any books to read to avoid overweight, or my guitar by volume in excess. The Alberto had not brought the board of Go. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;So we stayed in a hotel with pool table, “fla-flu” game and deck of cards. At night we eat a Cheese and Alberto purchased the the medicine Celebra in drugstore (celecoxibe) for the pain in the knees. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Despite our baggage being taken by impermeable, everything that was inside was very wet. We put our humid clothes and shoes above a heater in the bedroom and went to sleep early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distance cycled: 70 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-6450406726259926104?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/6450406726259926104/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=6450406726259926104' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6450406726259926104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6450406726259926104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#6450406726259926104' title='São Francisco de Paula - Cambará do Sul'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5kWW6RKr-I/AAAAAAAAAY8/azSAU0Ryr-8/s72-c/DSC02061.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-2191598232642387048</id><published>2008-01-18T21:30:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:23:42.014-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Porto Alegre - São Francisco de Paula</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5j8taRKr9I/AAAAAAAAAY0/EVHYYsdZL54/s1600-h/DSC02053.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159151230228541394" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5j8taRKr9I/AAAAAAAAAY0/EVHYYsdZL54/s400/DSC02053.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Musica: &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6504682102967076359"&gt;Tiff Lacey&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sexta-feira nublada em Porto Alegre, antes das nove horas da manhã saí de casa de capacete novo echowell pedalando a velha bicicleta amarela com um enorme alforje e bolsa de guidom pretos.&lt;br /&gt;Parei numa padaria da Avenida Santana para fazer um remate na alimentação à base de carboidratos que tinha começado dois dias antes na casa de massas Bella Mama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encontrei-me com o Alberto no posto BR do final da Avenida José Bonifácio. Ele estava bem humorado, também de capacete novo, na velha bicicleta marrom com alforje azul.&lt;br /&gt;O plano era chegar em São Francisco de Paula até o final daquele dia. Depois, e numa escala maior, pretendíamos finalmente chegar a Florianópolis evitando a rodovia BR 101, passando por São José dos Ausentes, Bom Jardim da Serra, Orelans, Rio Rufino, Anitápolis e Rancho Queimado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A principio pegamos o trensurb na estação rodoviária e desembarcamos em São Leopoldo. Com a nova legislação do tremsurb agora ciclistas podem transportar bicicletas em determinados horários em precisar destacar a roda dianteira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em São Leopoldo demos inicio ao pedal indo na direção de Novo Hamburgo.&lt;br /&gt;Uma nuvem escura atravessou nosso caminho deixando um rastro linear de chuva intensa. Tivemos de nos abrigar debaixo dum viaduto onde nos entretemos com uma abelha pousada no capacete do Alberto cujas patas traseiras repletas de pólen pareciam alforjes laterais.&lt;br /&gt;Passada a pancada de chuva, iniciamos a pedalar mais forte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f4VqRKrMI/AAAAAAAAASs/mJas0H-wd3c/s1600-h/DSC02022.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158864949183425730" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f4VqRKrMI/AAAAAAAAASs/mJas0H-wd3c/s320/DSC02022.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Alberto estava tendo dificuldades de me acompanhar, reduzi a velocidade.&lt;br /&gt;Nas imediações de Sapiranga um rapaz vestindo calça jeans e pedalando uma barra circular passou por nós zunindo. Percebi que havia algo estranho com meu parceiro: uma lentidão incomum que eu nunca havia visto em todos os quilômetros de pedal juntos por esses pagos.&lt;br /&gt;Assim pedalamos lentamente os primeiros 50 km até as proximidades de Parobé. Eu comecei a pensar que meu companheiro iria desistir da ciclo-viagem antes mesmo de começar a subir a serra em Taquara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almoçamos num restaurante bastante simples em Taquara. Um pouco de carboidrato deu um novo ânimo ao parceiro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f5w6RKrNI/AAAAAAAAAS0/zIKfR0VK_6o/s1600-h/DSC02029.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158866516846488786" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f5w6RKrNI/AAAAAAAAAS0/zIKfR0VK_6o/s320/DSC02029.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas logo no inicio da longa subida até São Francisco de Paula o Alberto começou a sentir dor nos joelhos e passou a empurrar a bicicleta mesmo nas mais leves inclinações, e parar várias vezes para descansar com as pernas erguidas, coisa rara de se ver.&lt;br /&gt;Outra coisa rara de se ver foi um &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucano-de-bico-preto"&gt;tucano de bico preto&lt;/a&gt; granindo na beira da estrada. Segundo ornitólogos, esse pássaro vive nas matas da faixa litorânea que vai do Pará a Santa Catarina. O que faria um bicho desses nas matas da serra gaucha?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Balanceei a situação e propus ao Alberto uma mudança de rota. Ao invés de descermos a serra do rio do rastro desceríamos a serra da rocinha com possibilidade de pedalarmos na BR 101 a partir de Criciúma. Isso se ele não desistisse do passeio em São Francisco de Paula ou Cambará do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f7NKRKrOI/AAAAAAAAAS8/-BRZZZfSFGk/s1600-h/DSC02044.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158868101689421026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f7NKRKrOI/AAAAAAAAAS8/-BRZZZfSFGk/s320/DSC02044.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Para piorar a situação, veio uma neblina seguida de chuva. Pedalamos um longo trecho na contra-mão e debaixo das árvores para evitar a chuvarada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gBIaRKrSI/AAAAAAAAATc/D940uQDbc-Q/s1600-h/DSC02043.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158874617154809122" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5gBIaRKrSI/AAAAAAAAATc/D940uQDbc-Q/s320/DSC02043.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f9R6RKrPI/AAAAAAAAATE/mQ0WD5KhDn8/s1600-h/DSC02045.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158870382317055218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f9R6RKrPI/AAAAAAAAATE/mQ0WD5KhDn8/s320/DSC02045.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chegamos encharcados em São Francisco de Paula às 19:30 hs com planos de procurar pernoitar no Corpo de Bombeiros da cidade. Descobrimos a boa e barata pousada do Mirão na saída para Cambará do Sul e ficamos ali mesmo.&lt;br /&gt;Havia um restaurante anexo. Com tanta chuva do lado de fora, jantamos uma farta a la minuta com buffet de saladas e fomos dormir cedo.&lt;br /&gt;O Alberto passou um gel à base de diclofenaco nos joelhos e tomou um Tylex (paracetamol 750 mg).&lt;br /&gt;Choveu torrencialmente a noite toda pelo barulho no telhado.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f_wqRKrRI/AAAAAAAAATU/7dICleOHzkU/s1600-h/DSC02054.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158873109621288210" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5f_wqRKrRI/AAAAAAAAATU/7dICleOHzkU/s320/DSC02054.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância Pedalada: 100 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Porto Alegre city - São Francisco de Paula city&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Cloudy Friday in Porto Alegre city, before the nine o'clock in the morning I left home, new echowell helmet, cycling the old yellow bicycle with a huge bag and black pouch of guidom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I stopped in a bakery in Santana Avenue to make a remate in carbohydrates food-based which had begun two days before the house of pasta Bella Mama. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I met Alberto at the gas station in the end of José Bonifácio Avenue. He was with good mood, also with a new helmet, in the old brown bicycle and blue bag linked to it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The idea was to arrive in San Francisco de Paula city by the end of that day. Then, in a larger scale, we wanted finally arrive in Florianopolis city avoiding highway BR 101 being built, through São José dos Ausentes, Bom Jardim da Serra, Orelans, Rio Rufino and Anitápolis and Rancho Queimado cities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;In the principle we got the trensurb at station and went until Sao Leopoldo city in train. With the new legislation in the tremsurb cyclists now can carry bicycles in certain times without the need to deploy the front wheel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;In Sao Leopoldo we started to pedal going in the direction of New Hamburg city. A dark cloud crossed our path leaving a trail linear of intense rain. We had to shelter under a viaduct in where we enjoyed ourselves with a bee sit in the helmet of Alberto whose hind legs filled with pollen seemed baggage side. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;After a shot of rain, we started to ride stronger. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Alberto was having difficulties to follow me, so I reduced the speed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Close to Sapiranga city a boy wearing jeans pants with no helmet, and cycling a circular bar bicycle bread(only one gear) passed by us in high speed. I noticed that there was something strange with my partner: a slow unusual that I had never seen in all the miles of pedal together. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;So we cycled slowly the first 50 km to the nearby Parobé city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I started to think that my companion would withdraw from the round-trip even before starting to climb the mountain range in Taquara city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We lunched in a restaurant quite simple in Taquara city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;A bit of carbohydrate was rejuvenating the partner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;But at the beginning of the long climb to São Francisco de Paula Alberto began to feel pain in the knees and started to push the bike even in the most light inclinations, and stopping several times to rest with the legs raised, something rare to see. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Thinking about the situation I proposed a change in the route to Alberto. Instead of go down in Rio do rastro mountain range, we would go down in rocinha mountain range, more in south, with the possibility of we cycle in the BR 101 railroad being built from Criciúma city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;That if it does not gave up from the trip in São Francisco de Paula or Cambará cities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;To worsen the situation, came a fog followed by rain. We cycled a long stretch against in-hand and under the trees to avoid the rain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;We arrived wet in San Francisco de Paula city at 7:30 pm with plans to stay in the Fire Brigade in the city. But we found a good and inexpensive Hostel Mirão in the ramp to Cambará city and so we stayed there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;There was a restaurant annex. With so much rain on the side out, we had a lunch there and went to sleep there early. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Alberto passed a gel-based in diclofenac in the knees and took a Tylex (paracetamol 750 mg). It rained a lot all night by the noise on the roof. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Pedal Distance: 100 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-2191598232642387048?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/2191598232642387048/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=2191598232642387048' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/2191598232642387048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/2191598232642387048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#2191598232642387048' title='Porto Alegre - São Francisco de Paula'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R5j8taRKr9I/AAAAAAAAAY0/EVHYYsdZL54/s72-c/DSC02053.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-3864518239265027697</id><published>2008-01-11T20:36:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:23:44.401-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Caminho do Sertão do Ribeirão da Ilha</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fA7rOlksI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/9e7CQyXLcgU/s1600-h/DSC02005.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154300429997544130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fA7rOlksI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/9e7CQyXLcgU/s400/DSC02005.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final de manhã, dia de sol num paraíso tropical. Ao invés de eu ir para a praia deitar na areia e tomar uma gelada pego a bicicleta e saio a pedalar nos morros de Florianópolis.&lt;br /&gt;Será que é um vício? Talvez eu andasse com falta de endorfina e precisasse ver as coisas com outros olhos através de uma leve mudança do ponto de aglutinação, como diz &lt;a href="http://www.cogumelosmagicos.org/forum/printthread.php?t=1555"&gt;Carlos Castaneda&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saí do bairro Campeche sem pressa sob um sol dos diabos e peguei aquela estrada deserta que vai em direção ao bairro Tapera, onde as pessoas costumam caminhar, correr e pedalar sem serem importunadas pelos veículos automotores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fCHbOlktI/AAAAAAAAARE/OsYWEoliEHA/s1600-h/DSC01967.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154301731372634834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fCHbOlktI/AAAAAAAAARE/OsYWEoliEHA/s320/DSC01967.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O plano era pedalar no Caminho do Sertão assim chamado pelos moradores. Uma estrada que atravessa a Ilha de Santa Catarina no sentido leste-oeste e que fica bem ao sul, sai do bairro Ribeirão da Ilha e vai até Pântano do Sul e Armação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4e_-LOlkrI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/gdryf6uDqoo/s1600-h/Caminho+do+SertÃ£o+do+RibeirÃ£o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154299373435589298" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4e_-LOlkrI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/gdryf6uDqoo/s400/Caminho+do+Sert%C3%A3o+do+Ribeir%C3%A3o.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De Tapera logo entrei no bairro Ribeirão da Ilha pela estrada que margeia o mar no lado oeste da ilha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bairro tipicamente de origem açoriana. De acordo com historiadores, os primeiros navegadores portugueses e espanhóis chegaram ali por volta de 1506.&lt;br /&gt;Ruas repletas de restaurantes especializados em ostras, fazendas de criação de ostras, casas antigas no estilo açoriano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fWjbOlk4I/AAAAAAAAASc/Rd518HwcrkI/s1600-h/RibeiraodaIlha2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154324202641527682" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fWjbOlk4I/AAAAAAAAASc/Rd518HwcrkI/s320/RibeiraodaIlha2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalei com calma observando as belezas naturais, quando me dei por conta que era quase meio dia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parei numa sombra num praça repleta de mesas onde o pessoal costuma jogar dominó, jogo muito apreciado entre os catarinenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fV0bOlk3I/AAAAAAAAASU/emLIMfgLkVo/s1600-h/RibeiraodaIlha.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154323395187676018" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fV0bOlk3I/AAAAAAAAASU/emLIMfgLkVo/s320/RibeiraodaIlha.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fiz um gancho de uns 5 km rumo ao sul para encontrar um restaurante que não fosse especializado em ostras e que servisse comida comum com bastante carboidratos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem adiante da entrada do caminho do sertão comi um buffet para depois retornar sob um sol cada vez mais escaldante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nas imediações do mercado do Silva entrei no caminho do Sertão do Ribeirão da Ilha pela estrada Francisco Thomas dos Santos (também chamada estrada Chico do alambique).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fIl7OlkwI/AAAAAAAAARc/0YEDCrAB1X0/s1600-h/DSC01985.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154308852428411650" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fIl7OlkwI/AAAAAAAAARc/0YEDCrAB1X0/s320/DSC01985.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um subidão enorme com um visual fantástico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fKAbOlkxI/AAAAAAAAARk/NYo0o1egRpo/s1600-h/DSC01990.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154310407206572818" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fKAbOlkxI/AAAAAAAAARk/NYo0o1egRpo/s320/DSC01990.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fiz diversas paradas até não poder pedalar mais. Empurrei a bicicleta até uma bifurcação que, através de um pedal sempre ascendente, descobri que levava a lugar nenhum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voltei à estrada Chico do alambique onde desci até a localidade chamada Sertão do Ribeirão da Ilha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procurei por um bolicho onde pudesse me reabastecer de água. Não havia nenhum aberto e tive de pedir água numa das casas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo mais adiante topei com um belo riacho de águas limpas. O calor estava cada vez mais dos diabos, e um outro subidão se anunciava. Não resisti e tive de entrar n’água para me refrescar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fM2bOlkyI/AAAAAAAAARs/bbzc9l7MFIc/s1600-h/DSC01995.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154313533942764322" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fM2bOlkyI/AAAAAAAAARs/bbzc9l7MFIc/s320/DSC01995.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fu67Olk5I/AAAAAAAAASk/rLDbOABAS4M/s1600-h/DSC01996.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154350994647520146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fu67Olk5I/AAAAAAAAASk/rLDbOABAS4M/s320/DSC01996.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dali subi até o alto de um outro morro onde pude avistar a lagoa do Peri mais a praia do Campeche ao longe, com um temporal vindo do sul se anunciando.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fPubOlk0I/AAAAAAAAAR8/WCKUva6FUCU/s1600-h/DSC02007.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154316695038694210" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fPubOlk0I/AAAAAAAAAR8/WCKUva6FUCU/s320/DSC02007.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fQqrOlk1I/AAAAAAAAASE/X7tmnOXBOw8/s1600-h/DSC02011.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154317730125812562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fQqrOlk1I/AAAAAAAAASE/X7tmnOXBOw8/s320/DSC02011.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma ventania ensurdecedora, desci dali a alta velocidade até chegar nas proximidades de Pântano do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fRsLOlk2I/AAAAAAAAASM/L1XB62_1ZIE/s1600-h/DSC02019.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154318855407244130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fRsLOlk2I/AAAAAAAAASM/L1XB62_1ZIE/s320/DSC02019.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No pé do morro entrei à esquerda e fui parar debaixo dágua lá no bairro da Armação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma breve parada no restaurante natural Nutri, já por volta das 3 horas da tarde, onde comi salada de frutas com açaí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Logo em seguida fui pedalando quase em linha reta até a praia do Campeche, empurrado pelo vento que ia assoviando nos cabos do cambo e freios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalada: 51 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Path of the Sertão of the Ribeirão of the Island&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morning, day of sun in a tropical paradise. Instead I go to the beach and lay in the sand, and take a cold beer I take the bicycle and go climb hills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it an addiction? Maybe I was with lack of endorphyne and needed to see the things with other eyes by a slight change from assemblage point, as Carlos Castaneda say. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I left the district of Campeche without haste under a sun of the devil and took that deserted road that goes toward the neighborhood Tapera district, where people usually go running and cycling without being bored by automobiles. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The plan was pedaling in the path of the Sertão so called by residents. A road that crosses the island of Santa Catarina in the east-west direction and that is very in south. From Tapera soon I joined in the neighborhood of Ribeirão by the road that is near the sea on the West side of the island. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Neighborhood typically azorean of origin. According to historians, the first Spanish and Portuguese sailors arrived there around 1506. Streets filled with restaurants specializing in oysters, old-style houses from Azores. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I cycled with calmly observing the natural beauty when I saw that it was almost mid day, the time for a meal. I stopped in a shadow in a square full of tables where the staff usually play dominoes, game much appreciated by the folk there.I made a hook of some 5 km to find a restaurant that was not specialized in oysters and that served normal food with lots of carbohidrates. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Far distant ahead of the entry of the path of Sertão I ate a buffet and then returned under an increasingly burning sun. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Nearby the market for Silva I entered in the path of the Sertão Ribeirão of the the Island by the road Thomas Francisco dos Santos (also called the Chico road) A big ascent with a great visual. I made several stops before it can not ride more. Pushed the bicycle to a fork that, through a pedal always upward, discovered that led to nowhere. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Back to the Chico road I arrived soon in the village calledSertão of the Ribeirão. Tried to find a bar, where I could refill me with water bit there were no one open, so I had to ask one from the homes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;In the way I found a fine stream of clean water where I didn´t resist and had to enter in water to refresh me. The heat was increasingly strong, and another big ascent was announced. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I climbed until the top of another hill where I could sight the Peri lagoon, more the Campeche beach ahead. Under a noisy wind, I went down there at high speed. On the foot of the hill I turned to the left and arrived in the neighborhood of Armação district.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A made brief stop at the natural restaurant Nutri because it was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I ate fruit salad with açaí cream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In few time I was cycling almost straight to the beach of Campeche, pushed by the wind that would was making a big noise in the cables of the brakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distance cycled: 51 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-3864518239265027697?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/3864518239265027697/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=3864518239265027697' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3864518239265027697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3864518239265027697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#3864518239265027697' title='Caminho do Sertão do Ribeirão da Ilha'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4fA7rOlksI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/9e7CQyXLcgU/s72-c/DSC02005.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-6207752449989695419</id><published>2007-12-30T23:35:00.001-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:23:55.517-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Curitiba-Paranaguá</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A catedral Basílica Menor, localizada no marco zero de Curitiba, é dedicada à padroeira da cidade: Nossa Senhora da Luz dos Pinhais.&lt;br /&gt;Ali zerei meu ciclocomputador na manhã de um domingo quente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nMiLOlj0I/AAAAAAAAAJ8/4sCbiWQM2yc/s1600-h/DSC01769.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150372536376463170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nMiLOlj0I/AAAAAAAAAJ8/4sCbiWQM2yc/s400/DSC01769.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nove e meia da manhã, a cidade parada, a maioria da população foi para o litoral deixando para trás um rastro de gás carbônico.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pedalando a esmo pelo centro, aos tateios fui saindo de Curitiba a 25 km/h pelas avenidas quase desertas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3n9d7Olj9I/AAAAAAAAALE/2JGz8V2mkJs/s1600-h/DSC01772.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150426339431780306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3n9d7Olj9I/AAAAAAAAALE/2JGz8V2mkJs/s320/DSC01772.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Longo pedal pela BR 277 movimentada, através da densa grande Curitiba, passando por cidades satélites e grupos de ciclistas paramentados a rigor até poder respirar um ar mais puro nas imediações do pedágio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nLMLOljzI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/KdOgI_yTtgw/s1600-h/DSC01774.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150371058907713330" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nLMLOljzI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/KdOgI_yTtgw/s320/DSC01774.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir do pedagio um ciclista de boa prosa me fez companhia até quase o fim da descida da serra.&lt;br /&gt;Ele usava boné e seguia para o litoral numa bicicleta velha sem marca. Levava uma mochila nas costas, algumas sacolas plásticas e uma corrente grossa dependurados no guidom.&lt;br /&gt;Falou que sofria de terríveis dores de cabeça que só eram aliviadas com cabeçadas na parede ou quando pedalava longas distâncias. Por isso já tinha pedalado mais de sete vezes de Curitiba até o litoral do Paraná. Pernoitava ao relento na praia, acorrentado à bicicleta para evitar furtos.&lt;br /&gt;Ele desapareceu num longo declive enquanto eu parei para tirar fotografias e apreciar a paisagem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nN6rOlj1I/AAAAAAAAAKE/xxpXgUp8Vu0/s1600-h/DSC01781.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150374056794885970" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nN6rOlj1I/AAAAAAAAAKE/xxpXgUp8Vu0/s320/DSC01781.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nPc7Olj2I/AAAAAAAAAKM/SbSnWVzUFIA/s1600-h/DSC01786.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150375744717033314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nPc7Olj2I/AAAAAAAAAKM/SbSnWVzUFIA/s320/DSC01786.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A BR 277 é semelhante à free-way gaúcha com a diferença de que naquela os inofensivos ciclistas têm trânsito livre.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apesar do bom acostamento e da ausência de vento contra eu pedalava sem pressa e fazia muitas paradas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Numa tenda rústica na beira da estrada parei para almoçar uma tapioca doce com água de bica que vinha do morro e que tinha um gosto metálico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de uma seqüência de curvas e declives com belos panoramas vieram longos retões planos onde a monotonia esticava o espaço-tempo e os fortes raios ultravioletas de um calor de quarenta graus encharcavam a roupa e danificaram meu frequencímetro.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nRzLOlj4I/AAAAAAAAAKc/WH6bu0xLJJ4/s1600-h/DSC01799.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150378325992378242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nRzLOlj4I/AAAAAAAAAKc/WH6bu0xLJJ4/s320/DSC01799.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No final da BR 277 o trânsito de veículos foi diminuindo; ao que parecia Paranaguá não era o destino final de todos aqueles veículos que iam entrando em pistas laterais rumo a Caiobá, Guaratuba e Pontal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A reta final foi cansativa não tanto pelos aclives ou distâncias, mas pelo vento contra, cheiro nauseabundo, ausência de belezas naturais e falta de acostamento. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eu pedalava numa avenida longa e larga, relativamente movimentada, entre uma alameda de postes, com uma montanha nas costas e rumo ao grande mar redondo - “paranaguá” em tupi-guarani.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nS5LOlj5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/rsI5qpvf4NQ/s1600-h/DSC01800.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150379528583221138" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nS5LOlj5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/rsI5qpvf4NQ/s320/DSC01800.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vencida essa etapa cheguei ao centro histórico de Paranaguá por volta das 14:30 hs. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Com grande potencial turístico, o centro histórico tem vários sobrados coloniais, especialmente na Rua da Praia, a maioria um tanto mal conservados, e que por isso mesmo realçam a antiguidade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pedalei sem rumo pelas vielas da cidade indo parar no restaurante ao lado de um Hostel na Rua da Praia, onde um Gatorade reconstituiu minhas energias. Finalmente peguei um toró sob uma marquise em frente à Igreja São Benedito onde me encontrei com o carro de apoio por volta das 16 hs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Distância pedalada: 104 km&lt;br /&gt;Vm: 24 km/h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Curitiba city - Paranaguá city&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The Basilica Menor Cathedral is located in the zero-framework in Curitiba city and is dedicated to the city's patron saint, Our Lady of Light of Pinhals. There I adjusted my cycle computer and prayed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;It was so so 9:30 pm on a Sunday morning, even with warm smell of pollution. The city almost empty, the majority of the population was spending the New Year holiday at the beach, leaving behind a trail of gas carbon dioxide and soot produced by the exhaust of cars. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Cycling around in downtown I was leaving Curitiba at 25 km / h by avenues almost deserted. Long pedal by BR 277 railroad through the dense great Curitiba, and into satellites cities and crossing groups of cyclists weared like cyclists, I was able to get an air breathing more fresh and pure in the vicinity of the toll. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;From the toll, a cyclist of good prose, which was going to beach in an old and unbranded bicycle, made me company until almost the end of the descent of the hills. He led a rucksack on the back, some plastic bags and a current thick in the direction of his bicycle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;He told he used to suffer from a terrible headache that just were relieved through giving strong beats with the head in walls or when he cycled long distances. For that he had made more than seven rides to the beach in his bicycle. He used to sleep in streets or in the sand, tied in his bike to avoid be robbed. He disappeared in a long slope while I stopped to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The BR 277 railroad is similar to the free-way railroad from RS state with the difference that the BR 277 is free to cyclists. Despite the good sidewalks and the absence of wind against me I cycled without haste and made many stops. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;In a rustic tent at the roadside I stopped for a lunch. I ate sweet tapioca and drank water that came from the hills and had a metallic taste. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;After a sequence of curves and slopes with beautiful panoramas appeared long lines and plans where the monotony made the space-time longer and the strong sun of a heat of forty degrees made my clothes wet and damaged my heart rater. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;At the end of the BR 277 the transit of vehicles has been declining, it seemed that Paranaguá city was not the final destination of all those vehicles that were entering runways side towards Caiobá, Guaratuba and Pontal beachs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The final piece was not the worst neither by aclives nor distances, but because it was against the wind, bad smell, lack of natural beauty and lack of sidewalk. I was cycling in an long and wide avenue, relatively busy, between a boulevard of poles, with a mountain on the back and towards large round ocean -"paranaguá" in Tupi – Guarani language. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Winning this step I arrived in the historical center of Paranaguá around the 14:30 pm. With great tourist potential, the center has several colonial historic buildings, especially in the Beach street, they are poorly preserved, and that therefore emphasize the ancient aspect. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I cycled towards the center of the city to at the restaurant of a Hostel on the Beach street where I drank a Gatorade to reconstitute my energies. Finally I get a hard rain under a marquise in front of the Church St. Benedict where I met the car of support around 16 pm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Distance cycled: 104 km &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Vm: 24 km / h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-6207752449989695419?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/6207752449989695419/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=6207752449989695419' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6207752449989695419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6207752449989695419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html#6207752449989695419' title='Curitiba-Paranaguá'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3nMiLOlj0I/AAAAAAAAAJ8/4sCbiWQM2yc/s72-c/DSC01769.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-201688232153535131</id><published>2007-12-29T21:45:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:23:58.017-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Morro Spitzkopf</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kTfrOljjI/AAAAAAAAAH0/bXomA9Js6dE/s1600-h/DSC01681.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150169083775651378" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kTfrOljjI/AAAAAAAAAH0/bXomA9Js6dE/s400/DSC01681.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;O Parque Ecologico Spitzkopf fica a 15 km do centro da cidade de Blumenau-SC.&lt;br /&gt;Partindo-se da sede do parque e seguindo uns 6 km pelas margens do ribeirão Caeté chega-se ao alto do morro &lt;strong&gt;Spitzkopf &lt;/strong&gt;(cabeça pontuda) cuja altitude é de 936 metros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de almoçar um marreco assado num dos restaurantes à margem do rio Itajaí no centro histórico de Blumenau pegamos o carro com transbike e bike e fomos até o sopé do morro. A densa copa de pinheiros enormes num lugar úmido por natureza com cascatas, riachos e lagos não arrefeciam o calor de quase quarenta graus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por volta das 13:30 hs iniciei a subida na velha volare montada com componentes de segunda linha que, com exceção do câmbio traseiro, nem chegam a ser shimano alivio,  suspensão RST capa e pneus semi slick. Bicicleta simples mas suficiente para percorrer muitos pagos, tanto que não tem apresentado problemas mecânicos nos pedais dos ultimos meses em Florianópolis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Engatei na relação mais leve e assim fui pedalando devagar e sempre por uns 1800 m com bpm superior a 150 sem descer nem para tirar fotografia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parecia que a subida seria fácil, a trilha não era muito ingreme, mas o acúmulo de acido lático e os pneus semi slick me fizeram interromper o pedal e fui forçado a fazer um descanso na beira do ribeirão Caeté.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kU3LOljkI/AAAAAAAAAH8/cdlDtFJ015c/s1600-h/DSC01700.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150170587014204994" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kU3LOljkI/AAAAAAAAAH8/cdlDtFJ015c/s320/DSC01700.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir dos 2,5 km pedalados cheguei a uma pulsação de 177 bpm considerada a minha pulsação máxima segundo estudiosos, então no primeira patinação do pneu semi slick desci da bike e fui empurrando até os 3 km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kXWbOljmI/AAAAAAAAAIM/OYvhGj92PfE/s1600-h/DSC01703.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150173322908372578" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kXWbOljmI/AAAAAAAAAIM/OYvhGj92PfE/s320/DSC01703.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com 3 km de passeio morro acima encontrei os últimos vestígios de civilização: passei pelo último dos 3 sítios (casas) do caminho, e encontrei uma placa indicativa do parque.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kWGrOljlI/AAAAAAAAAIE/iOQAbJ2dh4o/s1600-h/DSC01702.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150171952813805138" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kWGrOljlI/AAAAAAAAAIE/iOQAbJ2dh4o/s320/DSC01702.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A primeira caranhola de água chegou ao fim enquanto que o ribeirão Caeté lançava um gemido lá do fundo dos peraus. Comecei a pensar que o passeio não seria tão fácil como o imaginado, que me faltaria água lá em cima.&lt;br /&gt;Mas para alivio da preocupação encontrei uma especie de nascente escondida no meio do mato que vinha das pedras onde me reabasteci de água.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3lU3bOljuI/AAAAAAAAAJM/6S2AaqZFAZc/s1600-h/DSC01708.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150240960053350114" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3lU3bOljuI/AAAAAAAAAJM/6S2AaqZFAZc/s320/DSC01708.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mais adiante uma pequena cascata onde tomei banho gelado por causa do calor infernal mesmo sendo o pedal feito todo na sombra das arvores e já a uma altitude moderada.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Por volta dos 4 km de pedal passaram por mim um grupo de peregrinos morro abaixo, casais com filhos adolescentes, felizes pela empreitada de terem ido quase até o cume. Me falaram duma trilha de extrema dificuldade para chegar ao ponto mais alto que certamente eu não poderia ir de bicicleta até lá.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3lZa7OljvI/AAAAAAAAAJU/stVwWHTkWuw/s1600-h/DSC01725.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150245967985217266" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3lZa7OljvI/AAAAAAAAAJU/stVwWHTkWuw/s320/DSC01725.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kY4bOljnI/AAAAAAAAAIU/NbPAnBPN3rg/s1600-h/DSC01711.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir dali tive um sentimento de abandono, uma sensação de estar sozinho num fim de mundo. Eu e a bicicleta sendo observados pela natureza seguimos o pedal contabilizado metro a metro pela dificuldade e cansaço. Em todo o percurso não se via o que tinha abaixo ou acima do morro, a única visão era a de uma trilha no mato fechado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kaSLOljoI/AAAAAAAAAIc/7qVVXPgQGOY/s1600-h/DSC01728.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150176548428811906" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3kaSLOljoI/AAAAAAAAAIc/7qVVXPgQGOY/s320/DSC01728.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chegamos ao ponto previsto e indicado pelos peregrinos.

Ela estava ainda lá intocada, quieta e escondida. Quando coloquei as mão no guidom me senti forte como se tivesse em mãos não uma coisa, mas alguém com poder de me levar de volta ao sopé do morro e à civilização de forma silenciosa, rápida e prazerosa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3lTDLOljtI/AAAAAAAAAJE/L_v6m8l417U/s1600-h/DSC01756.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150238962893557458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3lTDLOljtI/AAAAAAAAAJE/L_v6m8l417U/s320/DSC01756.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despenquei lá de cima com baixa velocidade pois a trilha era traiçoeira e os pneus semi slick. Caminho repleto de curvas em peraus profundos, bom para um tombo sem volta e desaparecimento no mato. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Não atingi mais do que 42 km/h mas peguei uma enxurrada de adrenalina naquela descida sem parada até cruzar lá em baixo o ribeirão Caeté por volta das 17:00 hs. Legal!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R3l04LOljwI/AAAAAAAAAJc/-ap-hpX4Iv8/s1600-h/DSC01759.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-e2a9d08244f86f70" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v13.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3De2a9d08244f86f70%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D32C864052EC684EFB14B20E0617F4E158FFDFC59.10A6708FB086524D9B0E9B3766A26DA1A8E104D8%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3De2a9d08244f86f70%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D4JGGs_lpXdmoYDEB8Q4vOd0FQCE&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v13.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3De2a9d08244f86f70%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331288614%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D32C864052EC684EFB14B20E0617F4E158FFDFC59.10A6708FB086524D9B0E9B3766A26DA1A8E104D8%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3De2a9d08244f86f70%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D4JGGs_lpXdmoYDEB8Q4vOd0FQCE&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spitzkopf Hill&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The Ecological Park Spitzkopf is 15 km far from the center of &lt;a href="http://www.guiadeblumenau.com.br/indexe.htm"&gt;Blumenau city&lt;/a&gt;. From the park, following 6 km by the margins of Caeté stream we arrive to the top of the Spitzkopf hill (pointed head), whose altitude is 936 meters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;After lunch a roasted kind of duck in one of the restaurants at the edge of Itajaí river, in the historical center of Blumenau city we took the car with a trans-bike to carry the bike and went to the foot of the hill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The dense crown of a huge pine, humid place by nature with waterfalls, streams and lakes not decreased the heat of almost forty degrees. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Around the 01:30 pm I began rising the hill in the old Volare assembled with components of second line not enough to be shimano alivio, RST capa suspension fork and half slick tires. Bike simple, but enough to go to many places; so that it has not presented mechanical problems in pedals from the past months in Florianopolis city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I put the relationship lighter in gears and so went up cycling slowly and always by so so 1800 m with bpm higher than 150 without go out bicycle neither to take photographs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;It appeared that the climb would be easy, the track was not very steep, but the accumulation of latic acid and the half slick tires made me interrupt the pedal and I was forced to make a stand on the edge of Caeté stream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;From the 2.5 km cycled I arrived at a pulse rate of 177 bpm considered my maximum pulse by scholars, then in the first skating of the slick tire I went out from the bike and began to push it until the 3 km. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;With 3 km of walking hill up I found the last vestiges of civilization: the last of the 3 countryhousesin the way, and found a plate indicative with the rules of the park. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The first bottle of water came to an end while the Caeté stream launched a groan from the bottom of a big hole into rainforest. I started thinking that the ride would not be as easy as imagined, and that was going to lack water in the end.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;But i found a kind of hidden source of clear water in the middle of the weeds that came from the stones and there I fulfilled my bottles of water. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Ahead I found a small waterfall where I had a frozen bath because of the infernal heat even though the pedal was being made under the shade of trees and was a moderate altitude. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;At about 4 km of pedal I passed by a group of pilgrims hill below; couples with children adolescents, thrilled by the work they have gone almost to the summit. They told me about a hard trail of extreme difficulty to reach the highest point that I certainly could not go by bicycle until there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;From there I felt abandoned, a feeling of being alone in a world of nature and trees. I and my bike flowed ahead being observed by nature and counting meter by meter the advance of that ride by the difficulty and tiredness. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Throughout the journey is I could not see what had below or above the hill, the only view was of a trail into the closed rainforest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I arrived to the point indicated by pilgrims. Hard trail, hard to cycle or carry the bike. Even thought I tried to carry the bike one hundred meters but since I did not know yet how much still had to use the arms and back as trans-bike I let it hide in the bush and followed the journey minced up with sadness and even more lonely, accompanied only of the machine Photo and the bottle of water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Finally, even after many steps and curves of clay hill above I arrived in the top where I had visions not so great as to be able to see the sea as some person had told me, but enough to think that the privilege of that landscape has earned the ride - this without taking about the various mg of endorfine extracted from 6 km of track in the hill into rainforest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Satisfied with the rise and with a great feeling of isolation I descended racing to find a bike. It was still there hidden, untouchable and quiet. When I put the hand in it I felt strong as I had put the hands not in a thing but in someone with power to take me back to the edge of the mountain and near to the civilization quickly and in a pleasured way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I went down from the top with in a low speed because the track was treacherous and half slick tires. Path full of curves in big holes deep into rainforest, good to fall down in the bush and disappear forever.

The rocky terrain with red sand hindered the rise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;With the abundant shade and water still cold in my bottle I stopped to reprogramate neuro-linguistically the pedal, because the tour would not be as simple as planned. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hardly I went up on the hill to get a open place where there was an armed man cutting pins with a big knife and a screensaver in his face. Thus it was possible to get some own photographs and some suggestions to not follow the pedal in the rock near the sea because it was dangerous. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;From there we could see the Mole and Galheta beaches.I took a sub-track on the right and continued to cycle up until enter into scrub where the trail appeared finish. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I was in doubt, if I must go ahead or not, me and the bicycles were being swallow by scrub. In some ways the only way to move safely and away from snakes was leaping from rock to rock or pedal. And so I went leaping to the highest point where I could sight more precisely the beach of Gravatá.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Returning to the bike I faced the almost hide trail into scrub in a almost blind cycling in scrub hundreds of meters to conclude that was not going to anywhere. The profit of the pedal in scrub was a panoramic view of Lagoa da Conceição in a different way from the patterns which I was accustomed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I returned to the track and thus went down hill practically without putting the foot on the floor. To make a recognition around the hill I cycled slowly to the Joaquina beach. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I came back by Canto da Lagoa in a fast pedal, in a half-race with another cyclist of helmet that had passed very fast by me looking back as to say: Let’s go!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Distance cycled: 30 km &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Vmax: 62 km / h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-1103872995592763386?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/1103872995592763386/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=1103872995592763386' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1103872995592763386'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/1103872995592763386'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html#1103872995592763386' title='Morro do Gravatá'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2MYdrOljgI/AAAAAAAAAHc/9Kt6-6E7Tkc/s72-c/DSC01458.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-3822738617087166864</id><published>2007-12-13T19:56:00.001-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:24:02.830-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Morro da Cruz</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2LACLOljdI/AAAAAAAAAHE/a8zN85MfZiQ/s1600-h/DSC01435.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143884868016770514" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2LACLOljdI/AAAAAAAAAHE/a8zN85MfZiQ/s400/DSC01435.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquele morro chama a atenção pela quantidade de antenas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Não é como os outros morros de Florianópolis, a maioria verdes até o topo e aparentemente inacessíveis por terra. É um morro central e civilizado, tem asfalto para se pedalar e deveria oferecer uma visão panorâmica do centro da cidade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nas proximidades de Saco dos Limões já pude avistar com mais detalhes o morro da Cruz ao longe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GrxFoyOnI/AAAAAAAAAEM/8wg-b4aJeUE/s1600-h/DSC01407.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143581109248998002" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GrxFoyOnI/AAAAAAAAAEM/8wg-b4aJeUE/s320/DSC01407.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No caminho pedi informações de como subir o morro a partir do Saco dos Limões e um jovem disse que o melhor seria ir até o Mac Donald’s da Av. Beira mar e de lá subir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avistei um ônibus que se desviou do caminho normal para o centro e fui de atrás, através desse desvio de rota não passei por dentro do túnel e sim sobre ele entre um casario e vielas elevados, com boa visão panorâmica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2G3sVoyOwI/AAAAAAAAAFU/uAEdNSb3m3E/s1600-h/DSC01410.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143594221784152834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2G3sVoyOwI/AAAAAAAAAFU/uAEdNSb3m3E/s320/DSC01410.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nunca vi um ônibus coletivo subir aclives daquela monta em lugar nenhum. O guidom chegava a empinar nos paralelepípedos, para subir pedalando tive de ir em zigue-zague.&lt;br /&gt;Uma das vielas acabou numa escadaria de mil degraus que me causou espanto. Parecia a boca do inferno e aquilo me deu vertigens. Um cachorro tentou me morder. Pequeno mas valente, depois de uma conversa ficamos amigos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2K-brOljcI/AAAAAAAAAG8/GL76nDbBJ7E/s1600-h/DSC01411.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143883107080179138" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2K-brOljcI/AAAAAAAAAG8/GL76nDbBJ7E/s320/DSC01411.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2G1gloyOuI/AAAAAAAAAFE/tazw1lI1NEg/s1600-h/DSC01413.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143591820897434338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2G1gloyOuI/AAAAAAAAAFE/tazw1lI1NEg/s320/DSC01413.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fui desembocar no centro do outro lado e perpendicularmente ao túnel.

Sem querer me embretei no morro do Horácio, vim saber depois que é um local considerado perigoso pelos habitantes de Floripa.&lt;br /&gt;Um labirinto de vielas onde através de informações prestada por um pessoal simpático e prestativo fui sair na Avenida do Antão que vem das proximidades do Shopping Center Beira mar e vai até o alto do Morro da Cruz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GzIloyOsI/AAAAAAAAAE0/k6WgiZF7Hjw/s1600-h/DSC01420.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143589209557318338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GzIloyOsI/AAAAAAAAAE0/k6WgiZF7Hjw/s320/DSC01420.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subindo quase sem parar mais um trecho no asfalto sinuoso e íngreme finalmente alcancei o topo do morro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GxhVoyOrI/AAAAAAAAAEs/SdgGSkd6zfo/s1600-h/DSC01425.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143587435735825074" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GxhVoyOrI/AAAAAAAAAEs/SdgGSkd6zfo/s320/DSC01425.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O lugar tem uma boa estrutura e é seguro, apesar de haver garotos pobres pedindo esmola no acesso aos mirantes. Dispõe de uma lanchonete que fica aberta inclusive à noite. De dia o visual é magnífico, à noite deve ser surreal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Para facilitar a visão lá do alto eles colocaram um grande binóculo rotatório a disposição dos turistas num dos mirantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2LBv7OljeI/AAAAAAAAAHM/zP0TXXb7iUQ/s1600-h/DSC01429.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143886753507413474" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2LBv7OljeI/AAAAAAAAAHM/zP0TXXb7iUQ/s320/DSC01429.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GuOloyOpI/AAAAAAAAAEc/grzB7iuUyzk/s1600-h/DSC01434.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143583815078394514" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2GuOloyOpI/AAAAAAAAAEc/grzB7iuUyzk/s320/DSC01434.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parei num dos prédios das repetidoras de televisão para pedir informações de como descer diretamente até as imediações do Saco dos Limões.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Gs9VoyOoI/AAAAAAAAAEU/8FifRpuZauI/s1600-h/DSC01437.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143582419214023298" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Gs9VoyOoI/AAAAAAAAAEU/8FifRpuZauI/s320/DSC01437.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A opinião foi unânime de que eu deveria descer pela Avenida do Antão, pois por outra rota eu deveria obrigatoriamente passar pela localidade de Caieira onde eu poderia perder até o capacete mesmo sendo dia claro. Não desconfiava que haviam locais desse tipo em Florianópolis.&lt;br /&gt;Portanto voltei pela Avenida do Antão a alta velocidade ate a Avenida Mauro Ramos de onde pedalei mais uns 20 km para chegar ao final do passeio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalada: 47 km&lt;br /&gt;Vmáx: 73 km/h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cross Hill&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;That hill calls attention by the amount of antennas. It is not like other hills in Florianopolis city, most are green from the basis to the top and apparently inaccessible by land. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;It is a central hill and civilized, has asphalt to ride and should offer a panoramic view of the downtown. In the vicinity of the “Saco dos Limões” I could sight in more detail the hill target by distance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I climbed cycling on top of the passageway on the road to take a picture. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;On the way I requested information to a guy about how to climb the mountain from the “Saco dos Limões” and he said that the best would go to the Mac Donald's in Beira Mar Avenue and from there climb. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Going to downtown I met a bus going up a slope and followed it, so I didn´t go by inside the tunnel that leads to the downtown, but over it between narrow streets and houses high elevated, with good overview. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I never saw a collective bus rising climbs of that angle anywhere. The front wheel of the bicycle became to go up so to climb I had to ride in spiral. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;In the end of one of the narrow streets I met a staircase made with thousand little steps that made me dizzy. It seemed the mouth of hell and that thing gave me vertigo. A dog tried to bite me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Small but valiant, after a conversation we made friendship. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I reached the downtown on the other side and perpendicular to the tunnel. I passed by the public municipal market, stopped at the bus station where unfortunately I bought tickets back to Porto Alegre city for the next week. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;From there I followed by the Beira Mar Avenue to the MacDonald’s where turned to the right and began to rise and entered in the Horacio hill, where i knowed later that it is considered dangerous by local residents of Floripa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;A labyrinth of narrow streets where through information provided by a friendly and helpful folk I arrived in Antão Avenue that comes from the vicinity of the Beira Mar Mall and goes to the top of the Cross Hill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Cycling almost without stopping this excerpt in asphalt, finally reached the top of the hill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;The place has a good structure and it is safe although there are poor boys asking for coins in access to belvederes. It has a café which is open even at night. From day the visual is magnificent, in the night should be surreal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;To facilitate the vision from on high they placed a large binocular rotating to help the view of tourists in one of belvederes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I stopped in one of the buildings of Television antennas to ask for information on how to fall directly to the vicinity of the Saco dos Limões. The unanimous opinion was that I should take the Antão Avenue again, because by another route I should necessarily go through the place called Caieira where I could lose also my helmet even thought it was day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I never thought that existed such called dangerous sites in Florianopolis city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;So I returned the Antão Avenue at high speed until the Mauro Ramos Avenue from whereI cycled more 20 km to reach the end of the ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distance cycled: 47 km&lt;br /&gt;Vmax: 73 km/h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-3822738617087166864?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/3822738617087166864/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=3822738617087166864' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3822738617087166864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/3822738617087166864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html#3822738617087166864' title='Morro da Cruz'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2LACLOljdI/AAAAAAAAAHE/a8zN85MfZiQ/s72-c/DSC01435.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-8285190150899446147</id><published>2007-12-12T23:35:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:24:04.640-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Morro do Campeche</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C4N1oyOkI/AAAAAAAAAD0/O9n2E6ZSvjk/s1600-h/DSC01327.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143313322333059650" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C4N1oyOkI/AAAAAAAAAD0/O9n2E6ZSvjk/s400/DSC01327.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continuando o ciclo de pedais em Florianópolis, hoje subi o morro do Campeche, também chamado morro do Lampião.&lt;br /&gt;Esse morro vinha me chamando atenção há meses pela localização estratégica a qual poderia oferecer uma visão panorâmica de quase toda a região do Campeche e Rio Tavares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2L0lLOljfI/AAAAAAAAAHU/eTbSTNTc4WY/s1600-h/DSC01404.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143942643916836338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2L0lLOljfI/AAAAAAAAAHU/eTbSTNTc4WY/s320/DSC01404.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalei na rua Pau de Canela e depois segui até o final da servidão Brasiliano onde havia um pontilhão de madeira escondido no mato. Logo adiante uma trilha bastante íngreme quase oculta pela vegetação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C1i1oyOiI/AAAAAAAAADk/WfGWQkGE9qo/s1600-h/DSC01312.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143310384575429154" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C1i1oyOiI/AAAAAAAAADk/WfGWQkGE9qo/s320/DSC01312.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nesse trecho entre a vegetação e pedra o cicloturismo se transfigurou num misto de montanhismo e malabarismo.&lt;br /&gt;Impossível até de se carregar a bicicleta nas costas devido à trilha ser uma valeta estreita de elevada inclinação guarnecida por galhos e vegetação tomando conta do caminho.&lt;br /&gt;Era quase obrigatório subir rastejando trazendo a bike dependurada pela roda dianteira.&lt;br /&gt;Felizmente tive um alento, pois esse trecho foi curto. Deparei-me perpendicularmente com uma trilha larga de terra vermelha e pedras sujas que vinha não sei de onde e com certeza iria para o alto do morro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CxhloyOfI/AAAAAAAAADM/VIebBXaaKME/s1600-h/DSC01318.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143305965054081522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CxhloyOfI/AAAAAAAAADM/VIebBXaaKME/s320/DSC01318.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subida quase ininterrupta com curvas em todos os sentidos, pedal dificílimo pelo terreno arenoso de elevada inclinação, era fácil de cair um tombo feio até subindo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C7OFoyOmI/AAAAAAAAAEE/vStWFjaSvzs/s1600-h/DSC01319.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143316625162910306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C7OFoyOmI/AAAAAAAAAEE/vStWFjaSvzs/s320/DSC01319.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assim fui naquele pedal solitário e lento morro do Lampião acima, derrapando nas pedras, ora caminhando, ora pedalando.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CyxloyOgI/AAAAAAAAADU/w8N6h_cDSwA/s1600-h/DSC01322.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143307339443616258" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CyxloyOgI/AAAAAAAAADU/w8N6h_cDSwA/s320/DSC01322.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lá no alto havia uma torre e um rochedo sobre o qual pude ter uma visão panorâmica de parte de Rio Tavares e praia da Joaquina e também da ilha do Campeche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C21VoyOjI/AAAAAAAAADs/1mp5WLqdKvw/s1600-h/DSC01328.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143311801914636850" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C21VoyOjI/AAAAAAAAADs/1mp5WLqdKvw/s320/DSC01328.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C5cloyOlI/AAAAAAAAAD8/7c8cjpAJ_VE/s1600-h/DSC01337.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143314675247757906" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C5cloyOlI/AAAAAAAAAD8/7c8cjpAJ_VE/s320/DSC01337.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CuM1oyOdI/AAAAAAAAAC8/6H-4i0GMZvI/s1600-h/DSC01342.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143302310036912594" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CuM1oyOdI/AAAAAAAAAC8/6H-4i0GMZvI/s320/DSC01342.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C21VoyOjI/AAAAAAAAADs/1mp5WLqdKvw/s1600-h/DSC01328.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de algum tempo sentado no rochedo, bebendo água da caramanhola e observando a paisagem, despenquei lá de cima até a boca da trilha no meio do mato surpreendentemente quase sem colocar o pé no chão.&lt;br /&gt;Voltei às ruas do Campeche com cerca de 4 km pedalados em 2 horas que pareceram 40 km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Campeche Hill&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Continuing the cycle of pedals in Florianopolis, today I climbed the Campeche hill, also called the Lampião hill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;This hill was calling me attention months ago by the strategic location which could offer a panoramic view of almost the entire region of Campeche and Rio Tavares. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I cycled on the Pau de Canela street and then follow by the end of Brasiliano street where there was a small rustic bridge of wood hidden in the bush. Once below a trail rather steep almost hidden by vegetation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;In that stretch between vegetation and the stone the bicycle tour changed in a mix of mountaineering and equilibrium. Unable even to pedal, push or to load a bicycle in the back due to be a lined hole close track of high inclination surrounded by branches and vegetation of rainforest taking account of the way. It was almost obligatory crawling up bringing the bike laid by the front wheel. Fortunately I had a rest, because this portion was short. I met perpendicularly a large trail of red earth and soiled stones which I didn´t know from where it came but certainly would go to the top of the hill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Rises almost uninterrupted with curves in all directions, pedal difficult by the sandy land of high pitch, it was easy to fall down climbing so imagine going down. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;So I went in solitary and slow pedal Lampião hill above, sometimes walking, sometimes cycling. There was a tower on top and a rock on which could have a panoramic view of part of Rio Tavares and Joaquina beach and also the island of Campeche. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;After some time sitting on the rock, drinking water that I had carried with me, and watching the landscape, I fell down cycling from top to the mouth of the trail in the middle of the bush, surprisingly almost without putting the foot on the floor. I returned to the streets of Campeche with about 4 km cycled in 2 hours that seemed 40 km. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-8285190150899446147?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/8285190150899446147/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=8285190150899446147' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/8285190150899446147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/8285190150899446147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html#8285190150899446147' title='Morro do Campeche'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2C4N1oyOkI/AAAAAAAAAD0/O9n2E6ZSvjk/s72-c/DSC01327.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-699866446434834425</id><published>2007-12-10T21:42:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:24:06.580-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Um 8 na Lagoa da Conceição</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CU3loyOUI/AAAAAAAAAB0/iHj4gMHcKYc/s1600-h/DSC01399.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143274457173997890" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CU3loyOUI/AAAAAAAAAB0/iHj4gMHcKYc/s400/DSC01399.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de alguns pedais não relatados em São Leopoldo, Viamão e Porto Alegre - passando por Lomba Grande, Itapuã, Lami e Lomba do Pinheiro - fiz um misto de trekking com pedal nas trilhas da Costa da Lagoa e Ratones em Florianópolis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A primeira trilha começa na Estrada Geral do Canto dos Araçás, penetra na mata atlântica e margeia a Lagoa da Conceição no lado oeste até alcançar o distrito de Costa da Lagoa, a segunda sai daquela localidade e vai até o distrito de Ratones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Psz7OlkpI/AAAAAAAAAQk/gz9Z_x88vN8/s1600-h/Um+8+na+Lagoa+da+ConceiÃ§Ã£o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153222775458337426" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Psz7OlkpI/AAAAAAAAAQk/gz9Z_x88vN8/s400/Um+8+na+Lagoa+da+Concei%C3%A7%C3%A3o.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parti pedalando da praia do Campeche no final da manhã e fui até a praça central da Lagoa da Conceição. Logo adiante na Estrada Geral do Canto dos Araçás um sobe-desce por vielas de paralelepípedo entre casarios de decoração criativa vendo-se o azul da lagoa no lado direito. Cada vez mais a dificuldade aumenta, a Estrada Geral se transforma quase em trilha embora ainda permita o acesso a carros de passeio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CXpFoyOVI/AAAAAAAAAB8/vcr0nU2Bqa0/s1600-h/DSC01366.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143277506600778066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CXpFoyOVI/AAAAAAAAAB8/vcr0nU2Bqa0/s320/DSC01366.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei em frente a um conjunto de placa velhas de madeira esverdeada que numa forma poética descrevia a trilha da Costa da Lagoa sem deixar de destacar que ela tinha extensão de 7 km de extensão e que para praticantes de mountain-bike era considerada “técnica”.&lt;br /&gt;Lugar deserto, chão de areia grossa socada entre pedras de todos os tamanhos sendo que em muitos trechos era impossível de se pedalar visto à organização caótica do rochedo nas mais variadas inclinações.&lt;br /&gt;Subidões nas pedras, bicicleta nas costas e a pulsação a 160 bpm cuidando para não resvalar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CZLVoyOWI/AAAAAAAAACE/nFUJzeXiiwk/s1600-h/DSC01390.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143279194522925410" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CZLVoyOWI/AAAAAAAAACE/nFUJzeXiiwk/s320/DSC01390.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um longo trecho no meio do mato cerrado e pedras de todos os tamanhos, ora sobe, ora desce, ora pedala, ora carrega a bicicleta nas costas. De vez em quando passava pelo conjunto de placas de madeira esverdeada que de forma poética fazia apologia da trilha e recomendações diversas.&lt;br /&gt;A sensação era de isolamento e deserto no mato sob as copas das árvores enormes e sobre rochas e até mesmo raízes de grossura descomunal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haviam casas de varios estilos e ruinas quase na beira da trilha. Ainda penso como elas foram construídas lá naqueles locais ermos onde não se chega nem de carro nem de motocicleta e estão na maioria escondidas sob as copas das arvores e elevadas nos morros longe do nível do mar/lagoa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CbbVoyOXI/AAAAAAAAACM/d4VRpAQuXAI/s1600-h/DSC01383.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143281668424087922" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CbbVoyOXI/AAAAAAAAACM/d4VRpAQuXAI/s320/DSC01383.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pois foi no meio do caminho e de surpresa que por sob uma das cercas de tela de uma dessas casas modernas abandonadas ocultas no mato surgiu um cachorro da raça fila cujo tamanho regulava com o tamanho da minha bicicleta volare.&lt;br /&gt;Forte e gordo decerto da ração semanal que os donos deixam ali para alimentá-lo, ele veio correndo na minha direção pela trilha estreita de mão única, como um cavalo a galope e como se estivesse decidido a me trucidar.&lt;br /&gt;Os dentes brancos relampeando no meio da mata eram como se fossem garfos metálicos duma suspensão dianteira, o pêlo arrepiado ao redor do pescoço dava-lhe um aspecto leonino feroz que o deixava ainda mais robusto.&lt;br /&gt;Rapidamente tive de pensar no que fazer.&lt;br /&gt;Largar a bicicleta, virar as costas, correr e fugir seria a pior atitude, pois ele me consideraria um cabrito em fuga, me alcançaria facilmente no pedregal, e me trucidaria sem ninguém por perto que pudesse me ajudar.&lt;br /&gt;Pensei que a única arma e escudo que carregava era a bicicleta de alumínio com algumas partes de aço. Desci da bike, olhei nos olhos do gigante, meio em posição de katá de aikido, esperando reverter a força e peso do animal contra ele mesmo num movimento circular. Me preparei para a mais forte bicicletada que meus braços treinados com alguns meses de musculação e anos de bom senso poderiam dar naquela cabeça enorme.&lt;br /&gt;Mas o bicho parou a uns 3,5 m de distância e começou a sapatear.&lt;br /&gt;Pêlo eriçado, rosnar feroz e um sapateado grotesco, fui me aproximando dele com firmeza, pois eu não queria virar as costas para aquele monstro e nem retornar derrotado para casa por causa dum cusco graúdo e metido.&lt;br /&gt;Ele foi retrocedendo e sapateando até que num ágil rodopio mergulhou de novo sob a cerca de tela. Fez de conta de forma muito inteligente que não podia mais me alcançar e passou a morder a tela de metal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais uns kms de trilha pedreira, sobe-desce, empurra, pedala, carrega nas costas no meio do matagal.&lt;br /&gt;Enfim cheguei ao distrito de Costa da Lagoa. Era mais de meio-dia e eu já com fome. Havia vários restaurantes por ali e parei num especializado em frutos do mar chamado “coração de mãe”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Cd7VoyOYI/AAAAAAAAACU/jS50Q--xvMY/s1600-h/DSC01402.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143284417203157378" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Cd7VoyOYI/AAAAAAAAACU/jS50Q--xvMY/s320/DSC01402.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iscas de robalo com salada de maionese feita na hora e ainda quente me deixaram pronto para partir rumo à localidade de Ratones pela trilha dos Ratones, que segundo os moradores do local era muito mais difícil do que pedalar/caminhar na trilha da Costa da Lagoa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalei numa trilha de concreto/rocha entre casarios construídos com material de construção trazido pelos barcos que são o único meio de locomoção do lugarejo para se chegar até locais com maiores recursos. Vários restaurantes, os clientes vêm de bicicleta e a pé pela trilha, ou principalmente de barco pela lagoa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CfnloyOZI/AAAAAAAAACc/d6yHIoZX3-Y/s1600-h/DSC01367.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143286276923996562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CfnloyOZI/AAAAAAAAACc/d6yHIoZX3-Y/s320/DSC01367.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No final dum subidão de paralelepípedos entrei à esquerda e comecei a subir mais ainda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Cg41oyOaI/AAAAAAAAACk/BSQI1FNWYbo/s1600-h/DSC01388.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143287672788367778" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Cg41oyOaI/AAAAAAAAACk/BSQI1FNWYbo/s320/DSC01388.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bicicleta nas costas, trilha resvalenta de areia grossa, cuidando onde colocar o pé para não despencar de cima do morro com bike e tudo. Pulsação a 170 bpm, um sol de rachar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Ci_VoyObI/AAAAAAAAACs/zWcrp-YNYH0/s1600-h/DSC01391.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143289983480773042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2Ci_VoyObI/AAAAAAAAACs/zWcrp-YNYH0/s320/DSC01391.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bicicleta além do peso normal tinha um bagageiro acoplado onde eu levava o ferramental todo, jaqueta, frutas, água extra, celular, protetor solar, etc. Valeu a pena as várias seções de supino e bíceps entre outros na academia de musculação. Valeu também a pena o esforço da subida pois o visual lá de cima compensou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CkXVoyOcI/AAAAAAAAAC0/5WrEHqJV1Eo/s1600-h/DSC01392.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143291495309261250" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CkXVoyOcI/AAAAAAAAAC0/5WrEHqJV1Eo/s320/DSC01392.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de contemplar a lagoa e o mar superpostos entrei numa trilha entre um guanxumal bom para cobras, sob a copa das arvores. Mais adiante um descidão entre pedras enormes e barro que parecia o leito vazio de uma corredeira.&lt;br /&gt;Num certo trecho uma corda me seria bastante útil para içar a bike até lá em baixo para depois descer me agarrando nas pedras. Me fui, com bike e tudo, e sem corda, só no braço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A trilha foi ficando larga e plana, com menos dificuldade, até virar estrada de terra onde passariam carros de boi. Depois disso, veículos motorizados já poderiam trafegar por ela, então finalmente entrei numa estrada onde encontrei pessoas para pedir informações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu queria seguir para a Barra da Lagoa e tomar um banho de mar. Meio espantados me disseram que o caminho mais seguro mas não de menor distância era ir por Vargem Pequena até a praia dos Ingleses e de lá para Rio Vermelho etc...&lt;br /&gt;Nas proximidades de Vargem Pequena procurei encontrar pessoas no casario para pedir informações, mas não havia viva alma. Parecia que uma bomba de nêutrons tinha explodido há décadas ou que todos os moradores tinham sido abduzidos/arrebatados. Tudo intacto: casas com cadeiras, mesas e redes de dormir do lado de fora, janelas e portas abertas, mas ninguém a vista.&lt;br /&gt;Alguns kms por estrada de terra e fui desembocar no asfalto que vai à Canasvieiras onde segui contra o vento em direção à praia dos Ingleses. Logo depois de um trevo entrei à direita em direção à Vargem Grande, asfalto novo, caminho plano; logo adiante estrada de chão, subidas medonhas. A idéia era fazer um atalho e chegar a Rio Vermelho.&lt;br /&gt;No alto do morro parei e comi umas bananas observando uns macacos saguis dependurados nos galhos altos das arvores e despenquei num vai e vem por uma estrada poeirenta e sob um sol escaldante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De Rio Vermelho à Barra da Lagoa foi um tapa, mesmo com aqueles retões entre pinus, o vento estava a favor. Na Barra tirei a camisa e tênis e entrei na água cristalina azul-esverdeada do canal onde fiquei nadando contra a correnteza que vinha do mar o tempo suficiente para ficar com dor na musculatura dos braços.&lt;br /&gt;Dali sai pedalando sem camisa, de capacete e luvas pegando o sol das 17 hs até a praça central da Lagoa da Conceição.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para encurtar o relato, pedalei mais um trecho seguindo pelas curvas do Canto da Lagoa fazendo ao final um 8 na Lagoa da Conceição. Fui parar em Campeche com 69 km pedalados, Vmax 61 km e Vm surpreendente de 16 km/h.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An 8 in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagoa_da_ConceiÃ§Ã£o"&gt;"Conceição" laggon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagoa_da_ConceiÃ§Ã£o"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;After some not related rides in Viamão and Porto Alegre city - until Itapuã village, Lami and Lomba do Pinheiro - I made a mixture of trekking and pedal for the trails of "Costa da Lagoa" and "Ratones" in Florianopolis city. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The first trail begin in "Canto dos Araças" road and ends in district of "Costa da Lagoa", crossing the rainforest in the western side of the Conceição lagoon; the second begins in "Costa da Lagoa" and finishs in "Ratones" district.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I left the Campeche beach in the end of the morning and went until the central square of "Lagoa da Conceição" . Soon a small road, an up-down ahead, by narrow streets of parallelepiped between houses of creative décor, seeing the blue of the lake on the right side. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Increasingly the difficulty increases, road of land half-track. I came forward to a set of old wooden green card in a poetry way described the trail of "Costa da Lagoa" while out that it was told that it had extension of 7 km long and for practitioners of mountain-bike was considered "technical". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;From desert floor of sand thick between stones of all sizes and in many parts it was impossible to ride because the organization of chaotic rock in the most diverse inclinations. Later a hard climb in stones, bike on the back and pulse to 160 bpm caring for not slipping. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;A long stretch in the middle of the bush savannah and stones of all sizes, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes cycle, or carries the bike in the back. From time to time spent by the number of green cards made in wood was a poetic praise of the track and also had several recommendations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The feeling of isolation in the desert weeds under the crowns of trees and huge rocks on and even roots of large thickness. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hide in the weeds were empty houses on the edge of the track. I still think how they were built in those locations where there it is is not enough either to car neither to motorcycle and are hidden under the crowns of trees and high in the hills away from sea/lagoon level. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;So by surprise in half way and under one of the fences of the modern abandoned houses hidden in the bush, appeared a "fila" dog whose size was like the size of my red Volare bike. Strong, fat and certainly feed by the weekly food that the owners no longer put there to feed him, he came running in my direction by a close and thin track as a horse to gallop, as if determined to kill me. The white bright teeth shining in the middle of the forest was as if were metal forks of a front suspension of a bike, the fur erect in the neck gave him something fierce unfair that left more robust. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Quickly I had to think about what to do. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Leave the bike, turn my back, run and flee would be the worst attitude, because he would consider me a kid on the run, I would be caught easily in rocks, and I would be killed without anyone around who could help me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I thought that the only weapon and shell that was carrying was my aluminum bicycle with a few pieces of steel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;In front the bike, looked in the eyes of the giant, I was in a position to katá of aikido martial art, expecting revert the power and weight of the animal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;against itself in a cicular movement. I prepared myself for the stronger beat with the bicycle that my arms trained with a few months of fitness and my mind trained with years of good mood could give in that enormous head. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;But the beast stopped some 3.5 m away and began move his feets and hands nervously because it was really very angry. Fur erect, bark fierce and a grotesque movements of hands and feets, I was approaching him with firmness, because I did not want to turn my back on that monster and return as loser to home because of a big “cusco”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;He was backward and moving feets until an agile movement it plunged again under the cuted fence, in a intelligent way he appeared to try reach me without sucsses in the other side of the fence while was biting it furious but scared of me. I passed by him looking his eyes, and gave a bye. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;More few km of track quarry, climbs down, pushes, cycle, loads on the back in the middle of the scrub. Finally I came to a small village called Costa da Lagoa. More than half a day and I already with hunger. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;There were several restaurants there and stopped in a “fruit of the sea” restaurant called "heart of mother." Many small fried pieces of bass fish with salad left me ready for track of Ratones, which according to residents of the place was much more difficult than riding / hiking trail in the Costa da Lagoa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I cycled in a trail of concrete / rock between houses built with materials of construction brought by the boats that are the only way of locomotion of that village to reach sites with greater resources. Several restaurants, customers come by boat - or by bicycle and foot trail. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;At the end of a hard climb of I went to the left and started to rise further. Bike on the back, track sleezy of sand thick I had to take care where I put the foot for not fall down from a hill hugged in the bike. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The pulse went to 170 bpm, a sun-split. It was worthwhile the various sections of supine and biceps among others at the Academy of bodybuilding. The bike beyond the normal weight had a boot coupled where I took all the tooling, jacket, fruit, extra water, mobile, solar protector, etc. After several climbs impossible to cycle, divided into stages, went on a trail between a “guanxumal” bush good for snakes, under the crown of the trees. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;After it a climb between huge stones and clay that seemed the empty bed of a waterfall. In a stretch a cord I would be very useful for tie the bike up there and then down below me in grasping stones. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I went with bike and everything, and without rope, only in the arm. The trail was getting wide and flat, with less difficulty, to turn road of land where would steer car. After that, cars could already ride there, then finally went on a road where I found finally people to ask for information. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I wanted to go to Barra da Lagoa to take a bath at sea. Half surprised told me to go towards “Vargem Pequena” and exits on the "beach of the British", Red River and from there etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Nearby “Vargem Pequena” I tried to find people in the houses to ask for information, but there was no living soul. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;It appeared that a bomb of neutrons had blasted for decades ago or that all residents had been abduced / caught. All intact: houses with chairs, tables and networks of sleep from the sidelines, windows and doors open, but no one in sight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Some kms by road from land and was asphalt that will end in the Canasvieiras beach I followed against the wind toward the “beach of the British”. After a clover went to the right toward “Vargem Grande”, new asphalt, road plan; after road from floor, hard rises. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;The idea was to make a shortcut and reach the Red River. On the top of the hill and stopped I ate few bananas watching some monkeys in trees and went down the hill by a sandfull road under the hard sun. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;From the Red River Barra da Lagoa was very fast, even thought the long lined road between pinus trees, the wind was in my favor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;In “Barra” I took out the shirt and shoes and went in the water blue green of the channel where I was swimming against the water flow that came from the sea for long enough to get pain in the muscles of the arms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;From there I cycled with no shirt, wearing helmet and gloves catching the sun from 17 pm until arrive in the central square of “Lagoa da Conceição.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;To shorten the story, cycled another stretch far corner of the lagoon by making an 8 in “Lagoa da Conceição” logoon. I stopped in Campeche with 69 km cycled, Vmax 61 km and Vm surprising of 16 km / h.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-699866446434834425?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/699866446434834425/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=699866446434834425' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/699866446434834425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/699866446434834425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html#699866446434834425' title='Um 8 na Lagoa da Conceição'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R2CU3loyOUI/AAAAAAAAAB0/iHj4gMHcKYc/s72-c/DSC01399.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-8611632980716189905</id><published>2007-11-22T21:45:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2011-10-02T20:58:04.869-03:00</updated><title type='text'>São Martinho-Garopaba</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Jhg7OlkkI/AAAAAAAAAP8/Pk1v995lsqM/s1600-h/SÃ£o+Martinho-Garopaba+6_01_08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152788141947851330" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Jhg7OlkkI/AAAAAAAAAP8/Pk1v995lsqM/s400/S%C3%A3o+Martinho-Garopaba+6_01_08.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acordei cedo e fui caminhar na cidade de São Martinho. A dor no joelho esquerdo havia passado com uma dose cavalar de calminex pomada. O céu escuro anunciava um temporal.&lt;br /&gt;Antes da dor e da chuva voltarem coloquei a bagagem na volare e saí da zona urbana em alta velocidade na direção de São Luis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tive de pedalar uns 5 km de pura subida para sair de São Martinho.

Nascida em 1919, morreu degolada aos 12 anos, depois de resistir a uma tentativa de estupro. Após a tragédia, a menina ganhou fama de milagreira. Ela foi considerada mártir por morrer defendendo a castidade. Para Albertina ser santificada, terá de ser provado um milagre de sua autoria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4HR77OlkXI/AAAAAAAAAOU/3rpUfDOqAOo/s1600-h/DSC01930.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152630276129919346" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4HR77OlkXI/AAAAAAAAAOU/3rpUfDOqAOo/s320/DSC01930.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na saída de São Luis coloquei a jaqueta impermeável para enfrentar a chuva forte e o vento de um descidão curvilíneo que durou pouco devido à grande inclinação.

The pain in the knee was past with a lot of medicine for horses, calminex ointment. The sky was dark previewed a storm.&lt;br /&gt;Before the pain and rain become again, I tied my bag in volare and I left São Martinho city in high speed in the direction of São Luis village. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;To leave São Martinho I had to ride a 5 km of pure rise.

Born in 1919, was murdered at age of 12 years old, after resisting an attempt to rape. After the tragedy, the girl gained fame for make miracles. She was considered martyr to die defending chastity. To be saintfied Albertina will have to be proven a miracle of his own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Leaving São Luis I weared a waterproof jacket to face strong rain and wind of a descent full of curves. After that the pedal was for a path nearly plan, under a relentless rain and without many incidents. In the district of Aratingaúba also not missed a church on an imposing hill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I stopped in the way for a frugal meal based on salted crackers.

I climbed a hill to shorten the route and before one o'clock in the afternoon I was entering in Imaruí city, which seemed a metropolis after nearly three days of the pedal in Board mountain range. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I had a good meal and washed the bicycle in a gas station.

Passei num mini-mercado onde me abasteci de bolachas e doces para evitar surpresas no meio da segunda etapa da viagem.&lt;br /&gt;Até São Martinho eu teria que pedalar uns 50 km na serra, em estrada de terra de condições precárias segundo os moradores.&lt;br /&gt;Por volta das dez horas da manhã calibrei os pneus e saí da cidade pedalando sobre uma garoa fina passando por mansões antigas de estilo germânico, numa estrada invadida por poças d’água e coberta por uma camada de barro fino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GyEbOlkMI/AAAAAAAAAM8/r3tYFaHsRyU/s1600-h/DSC01875.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152595237786718402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GyEbOlkMI/AAAAAAAAAM8/r3tYFaHsRyU/s320/DSC01875.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No princípio fui devagar, cuidando para não me sujar, mas logo vi que não haveria como manter-se totalmente limpo por muito tempo. Acelerei o pedal e comecei a cruzar nas poças e no barral a alta velocidade, gastando com prazer e liberdade a energia potencial nos declives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GzY7OlkNI/AAAAAAAAANE/03XHfyFZfoA/s1600-h/DSC01878.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152596689485664466" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GzY7OlkNI/AAAAAAAAANE/03XHfyFZfoA/s320/DSC01878.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A chuva parou, e meus óculos de sol ficaram um pouco sujos de gotículas de barro. Somado à vista cansada da idade já meio avançada sem uso de lentes, não percebi a direção da seta que apontava na direção de São Martinho e segui no rumo contrário para Rio do Poncho. Ainda tive oportunidade de registrar com a maquina fotográfica o desvio de rota.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4G0i7OlkOI/AAAAAAAAANM/MQO-0R5-9Sc/s1600-h/DSC01880.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152597960795984098" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4G0i7OlkOI/AAAAAAAAANM/MQO-0R5-9Sc/s320/DSC01880.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalei até a localidade de Santo Antônio onde fiz uma refeição frugal com bolachas e depois segui em direção à localidade de Santa Maria por um atalho reparador de uns 6 km que acompanhava o rio do poncho e passava por uma das pequenas represas hidroelétricas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4O5eLOlkoI/AAAAAAAAAQc/zS7vl_3BEu4/s1600-h/DSC01883.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153166326703166082" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4O5eLOlkoI/AAAAAAAAAQc/zS7vl_3BEu4/s320/DSC01883.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Santa Maria me disseram que era melhor ir até São Martinho por Vargem do Cedro porque além do caminho ser mais curto, a estrada estava em melhores condições. Excelente informação para quem anda em veículo motorizado e a altimetria é desprezível.&lt;br /&gt;Sob um sol forte que chegou a enegrecer a ponta do meu nariz, subi e desci morros enormes ouvindo o ronco da correia da Volate triturando um areião grosso, encharcada de óleo de máquina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numa das longas subidas um &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucano-de-bico-preto"&gt;tucano de bico preto &lt;/a&gt;passou voando rente ao meu capacete e desapareceu no mato num vôo curto que cruzou a estrada.&lt;br /&gt;Depois de muito pedal subindo e descendo avistei Vargem do Cedro do alto de um morro. Tomei bastante água e despenquei lá de cima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4G19bOlkPI/AAAAAAAAANU/hdupT-2VMxQ/s1600-h/DSC01889.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152599515574145266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4G19bOlkPI/AAAAAAAAANU/hdupT-2VMxQ/s320/DSC01889.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hoepers.com.br/vargemdocedro/"&gt;Vargem do Cedro&lt;/a&gt; é composta de uma rua larga cuja obra arquitetônica mais importante é a Igreja Católica. Enorme e muito bem cuidada, é um tanto desproporcional comparada ao tamanho da cidade. Reflexo disso é que Vargem do Cedro é a capital mundial das vocações – localidade que proporcionalmente ao tamanho mais formou padres no mundo católico. Povo bastante devoto, os sinais da devoção se encontram até na estrada que vai a São Martinho, sob a forma de via crucis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4G7pLOlkRI/AAAAAAAAANk/4_Kxo1awA3M/s1600-h/DSC01900.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152605764751560978" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4G7pLOlkRI/AAAAAAAAANk/4_Kxo1awA3M/s320/DSC01900.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando passei por Vargem do Cedro o clube estava lotado devido a uma festa de comemoração às bodas de prata do vigário local. Os moradores pareciam estar todos na festa, pois as casas estavam fechadas e não havia ninguém nos pátios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4OxPbOlknI/AAAAAAAAAQU/dqBCGfDbLjQ/s1600-h/DSC01891.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153157277207073394" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4OxPbOlknI/AAAAAAAAAQU/dqBCGfDbLjQ/s320/DSC01891.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em frente a uma das casas à beira da estrada um cachorrinho saiu correndo atrás de mim. Não dei atenção, pedalei no ritmo de sempre, pois as pernas curtas do bicho certamente não iriam poder me alcançar. Mas não era só um cachorro. De repente escutei um latido grosso e um bafo quente e fedorento quase junto ao meu ouvido esquerdo. Olhei para o lado e havia uma bocarra cheia de dentes de um fila amarelo maior que a bicicleta correndo ao meu lado. Num gesto reflexo pedalei forte numa arrancada rápida de sprint nas competições de ciclismo, deixando o fila bem para trás. Mas meu joelho esquerdo sentiu a pressão repentina e ficou dolorido. Como tenho um limite de pressão e impacto num dos joelhos, sempre vou devagar e quase sempre. Desta vez extrapolei pela surpresa e tive de agüentar uma dor xarope no joelho esquerdo pelo resto do dia.&lt;br /&gt;Depois de mais um resto de pedal pela via crucis cheguei ao salto do Rio Capivara. Haveria uma festa de casamento naquela noite e o proprietario do restaurante do salto sugeriu que eu voltasse ali para jantar por volta das dez horas da noite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4OtH7OlklI/AAAAAAAAAQE/a1mv6X-l74E/s1600-h/DSC01907.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153152750311543378" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4OtH7OlklI/AAAAAAAAAQE/a1mv6X-l74E/s320/DSC01907.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais uma longa subida seguida de uma longa descida que decretou a desistência da possibilidade de se ir jantar no restaurante do salto, cheguei a São Martinho e de volta ao asfalto por volta das três horas da tarde, inteiro, sem fome, forte e feliz, apesar do joelho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4HKybOlkTI/AAAAAAAAAN0/c36Q5ioTJ1o/s1600-h/DSC01912.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152622416339767602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4HKybOlkTI/AAAAAAAAAN0/c36Q5ioTJ1o/s320/DSC01912.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encontrei um hotel bom e barato e limpei com querosene a correia e pinhas imundas da bicicleta para tirar o depósito de areia moída misturada com óleo de máquina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4HMKbOlkUI/AAAAAAAAAN8/XoKbsZjsH3U/s1600-h/DSC01918.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152623928168255810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4HMKbOlkUI/AAAAAAAAAN8/XoKbsZjsH3U/s320/DSC01918.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deixei ao sol para secar e depois encharquei de óleo. O ronco cessou, e a Volare estava pronta para a terceira etapa da cicloviagem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalada: 53 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;St. Boniface city - St. Martinho city&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;St. Boniface city is in the hills of the Board mountain range. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;City of germanic origin it is predominantly catholic with its imposing big church on a hill. The people are very friendly, cordial and nice to tourists. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;After the coffee of the morning I made a touring around the city on foot, which lasted not much, because the city is composed of few and short streets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;It was raining a few and the climate was pleasant. I went to a small grossery store where I supply me of biscuits and sweets to avoid surprises at midpoint in the next stage of the trip.&lt;br /&gt;I would have to ride so so 50 km in mountains ahead on the road of land in bad conditions according to the residents. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Around the ten o'clock in the morning I calibrated tires and went out of the city on a pedal under a soft rain through mansions of old germanic style, a road invaded by puddles of water and covered with a thin layer of mud. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;In the beginning I was slowly, taking care to don´t dirty me, but once I saw that would be almost impossible in keeping totally clean for a long time. I became to increase the speed of the pedal and started to cross into puddles in mud at high speed, feeling the pleasure and freedom with the energy potential from slopes.&lt;br /&gt;The rain stopped, and my sunglasses was a little dirty, droplets of mud. Added to the views tired of advanced middle age without use of lenses, I did not perceive the right direction of the arrow that pointed in the direction of São Martinho and I followed the direction opposite, to Rio do Poncho village. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Yet I had the opportunity to register with the machine photographic the change in route. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I cycled to the Santo Antonio village where I made a frugal meal meal with biscuits and then followed toward the Santa Maria village for a shortcut repairer of some 6 km following the Poncho river and passed by a small hydroelectric dams. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;In Santa Maria village they told me that it was better to go to São Martinho city by Vargem do Cedro city because of the addition of the path be shorter, the road was in better conditions. Excellent information for those who go in motor vehicle and altimetry is negligible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Under a strong sun that made black the tip of my nose, and down hills enormous listening to the snoring of the gears of the Volate due a gross sand mixed with oil-soaked in a mess making a big noise like a motorcycle.&lt;br /&gt;In one of the long climbs a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toucan"&gt;toucan bird &lt;/a&gt;crossed the road and almost beated in my helmet, desappearing soon into the rainforest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;After some time cycling I saw Vargem do Cedro city from the top of a hill and went down fast falling like a mature pear from a tree. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hoepers.com.br/vargemdocedro/"&gt;Vargem do Cedro &lt;/a&gt;city is composed of a large street whose architectural more important is the Catholic Church. Huge and very clean, it is somewhat disproportionate compared to the size of the city. A consequence of this is that Vargem do Cedro city is the world capital of vocations - place that in proportion to the size, formed more Catholic priests in the world.&lt;br /&gt;People there are very devout, the signs of devotion are up on the road that goes to St. Martin city in the form of via crucis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;When I passed by the Vargem do Cedro the club was full due to a celebration of the silver anniversary celebration of the priest. Residents appeared to be all in the party, because the houses were closed and there was nobody in yards. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In front of one of the houses along the road a small dog came out running behind me. I did not pay attention, cycled in the same pace ever, as the short legs of the animal certainly would not be able to achieve me. But there were not only one dog. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Suddenly I heard a bark and a thick hot breath almost next to my left ear. I looked to the side and there was a big mouth full of teeth of a “fila” dog bigger than the bicycle running beside me. In a gesture reflecting, cycled stronglly and rapid looks like in cycling competitions, leaving the dog back. But my left knee felt the sudden pressure and became to pain. I have a limit of pressure and impact in one knee, so I always cycle slow and often always. This time I exceeded the limit by that surprise and had to bear a boring pain in the left knee for the rest of the day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;After the pedal in via crucis and then passing near the fall of the Capivara river I arrived in São Martinho city and back to the asphalt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I arrived in São Martinho around the three o'clock in the afternoon, full of energy, not hunger, strong and happy, despite the knee. I got a good and cheap hotel and after cleaned with kerosene the gears of the bicycle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;There were a dirty deposition of sand ground mixed with oil. I allowed the sun to dry the gears and put a lot of oil.

A suspensão RST capa havia elevado o movimento central alguns centímetros acima do chão, e alguns bicicleteiros me garantiram que estava tudo em ordem e sem folgas.&lt;br /&gt;Adquiri um novo extrator de corrente e fui sem receios rumo a São Bonifácio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4JfdrOlkiI/AAAAAAAAAPs/ofuFAL7HjTk/s1600-h/Florianopolis-SÃ£o+BonifÃ¡cio+4_01_08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152785887090020898" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4JfdrOlkiI/AAAAAAAAAPs/ofuFAL7HjTk/s400/Florianopolis-S%C3%A3o+Bonif%C3%A1cio+4_01_08.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por volta das dez horas da manhã eu fui deixando para trás a zona metropolitana de Florianópolis repleta de perigos nas bifurcações da BR 101 movimentada onde veículos a 100 km/h deslocavam o ar e iam fazendo um barulho ensurdecedor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GiaLOlkBI/AAAAAAAAALk/JU8yKiXd4ng/s1600-h/DSC01823.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152578019262828562" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GiaLOlkBI/AAAAAAAAALk/JU8yKiXd4ng/s320/DSC01823.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, está o Caldas da Imperatriz, primeira estância termal do Brasil, que ganhou esse nome devido à visita do casal imperial Dom Pedro II e Dona Thereza Cristina, em 1845.&lt;br /&gt;As águas esotermais radioativas de 39 graus centígrados que emergem de terrenos pré-cambrianos são comparáveis às melhores do mundo – têm propriedades terapêuticas que vão desde o combate ao estresse e a doenças crônicas até o rejuvenescimento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Havia um palmital no caminho, de um verde jovem, vivo e lustroso que me chamou a atenção.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GjqbOlkCI/AAAAAAAAALs/CFrgudOodyQ/s1600-h/DSC01826.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152579397947330594" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GjqbOlkCI/AAAAAAAAALs/CFrgudOodyQ/s320/DSC01826.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Águas Mornas/Caldas da Imperatriz tomei bastante água local na ponte sobre o rio Cubatão e fui para uma padaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já havia pedalado 50 km em um pouco mais de duas horas e não me sentia nem um pouco cansado ou com fome, na noite anterior eu havia me alimentado de uma centena de camarões e de manhã havia comido peixe com iogurte.&lt;br /&gt;Levava comigo castanhas de caju torradas e salgadas, fonte de proteína e gordura, que comi com gatorade sentado nos degraus da padaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pouca ingestão de carboidrato e uma redução de peso voluntária que vem me acompanhado há alguns meses foram determinantes na qualidade do pedal.&lt;br /&gt;Como agravante, não sabia que a partir de Águas Mornas pegaria uma serrinha horrível a maior parte dentro de uma reserva ecológica com bastante água mas sem nenhum restaurante ou padaria no caminho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GoerOlkFI/AAAAAAAAAME/6Gd0svDuTWo/s1600-h/DSC01849.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152584693642006610" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GoerOlkFI/AAAAAAAAAME/6Gd0svDuTWo/s320/DSC01849.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de algumas subidas alucinantes que me custaram algumas horas, tive vontade de vomitar quando parei num mirante para comer mais uma porção daquelas nutritivas castanhas de caju.&lt;br /&gt;Não podia interromper o pedal porque sentia ânsias de vômito e náuseas estranhas, então parei de comer e continuei pedalando lentamente morro acima para me recuperar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GsgrOlkII/AAAAAAAAAMc/rBIxFGuMCLA/s1600-h/DSC01855.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152589126048256130" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GsgrOlkII/AAAAAAAAAMc/rBIxFGuMCLA/s320/DSC01855.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi um longo e interminável trecho num sobe e desce desfrutando a fome e a endorfina, apreciando a paisagem bucólica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GrP7OlkHI/AAAAAAAAAMU/aSe7x4N95zk/s1600-h/DSC01853.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152587738773819506" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GrP7OlkHI/AAAAAAAAAMU/aSe7x4N95zk/s320/DSC01853.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O povo da região não é de desperdício. Existem plantações de repolho, tomate, abóbora e melancia até mesmo junto da estrada. Imaginei uma melancia madura no acostamento para que eu pudesse parar de pedalar sem sentir náuseas. Decidi que quando chegasse ao destino iria comer uma melancia inteira. Essa melancia imaginária se tornou a mola propulsora do pedal, seus carboidratos me alimentavam de forma pré-datada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Gmo7OlkEI/AAAAAAAAAL8/NxNc92y5Bok/s1600-h/DSC01844.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152582670712410178" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Gmo7OlkEI/AAAAAAAAAL8/NxNc92y5Bok/s320/DSC01844.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No alto de um morro, como que a me observar da janela do seu apartamento, uma vaca curiosa me fez lembrar da vida contida nas cidades grandes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Gp-bOlkGI/AAAAAAAAAMM/82ssgZfiBFc/s1600-h/DSC01850.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152586338614480994" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4Gp-bOlkGI/AAAAAAAAAMM/82ssgZfiBFc/s320/DSC01850.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devagar e sempre fui chegando à zona urbana de São Bonifácio.&lt;br /&gt;Parei num bolicho de beira de estrada e pedi uma melancia. Não tinha. Nem mesmo uma fatia de pão ou biscoito ou elma chips, batata frita, bombom etc... as prateleiras todas vazias. De coisa doce só tinha coca-cola vendida em copo. Tomei um copão gelado e quase tive um “pasmo”.&lt;br /&gt;Saí dali na chuva que foi aumentando até me fazer parar no primeiro abrigo de ônibus. Assim abrigado, deitei num banco de concreto com o capacete de travesseiro, e quase dormi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estava a dois quilômetros do hotel, era quase cinco horas da tarde. A chuva não parou e tive de me levantar e vestir a velha jaqueta de nylon. Pedalei rápido até um hotelzinho bom e barato, deixei minhas poucas tralhas no quarto e fui procurar a tal melancia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GvJLOlkKI/AAAAAAAAAMs/rbnq5pqtN18/s1600-h/DSC01872.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152592020856213666" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GvJLOlkKI/AAAAAAAAAMs/rbnq5pqtN18/s320/DSC01872.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de meio melancião comido em fatias fui deitar. Só de pensar em comer outra coisa eu já sentia náuseas. Mas depois de uma hora de descanso e digestão eu já me senti disposto para devorar um sanduíche natural.&lt;br /&gt;Mais tarde um jantar fenomenal a base de carboidratos no restaurante da ilha encerrou o dia e me preparou para a segunda etapa da cicloviagem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GtwLOlkJI/AAAAAAAAAMk/ateRZw4dUy0/s1600-h/DSC01865.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152590491847856274" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GtwLOlkJI/AAAAAAAAAMk/ateRZw4dUy0/s320/DSC01865.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalada: 96 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Florianópolis city-São Bonifácio city&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;With some time late, the trip cycling by the Sierra Board finally happened. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Few years ago I gave up from the trip because a split rim of official Schwinn bicycle served as a pretext to give up from the trip of 03 days around the Sierra of the Board. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Though tempting, those imagined roads of land and sand that led to mysterious places without many resources were not encouraging. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;But this time the trip happened suddenly and without much thinking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;As I felt physically fit and had time to spare, I caught the old Volare and left Florianopolis going to S Bonifacio city carrying the minimum necessary. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The Volare bicycle has no sophisticated components and had certain limitations as the current framework and spends short that limits the manage of the gears. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The suspension RST cover had high the central movement and pedivela few centimeters above the ground, and some guys tat repair bicycles assured me that everything was in order and without problems with the bicycle. Purchased a new extractor for current I went without fears towards St. Boniface city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Around the ten o'clock in the morning I was leaving behind the metropolitan area of Florianopolis city full of dangers in the BR 101 railroad busy junctions where vehicles at 100 km / h moved the air with a deafening noise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;There was the planting of coconut trees in the path of a green living and glossy that I drew attention. Later I discovered that it was a "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_palm"&gt;palmital&lt;/a&gt;". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;In Santo Amaro da Imperatriz city, is the Caldas da Imperatriz, first spa of Brazil, which has this name because of the visit of the imperial couple Dom Pedro II and Thereza Cristina, in 1845. The esotermais radioactive water of 39 degrees Celsius which emerge from pre-cambrian lands is comparable to the best in the world - have therapeutic properties ranging from combating stress and chronic diseases to the rejuvenation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;In Aguas Mornas city / Caldas da Imperatriz I drank a quite of local water on the bridge over the Cubatão river and went to a bakery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I had cycled 50 km in a little more than two hours, and I was not feeling tired or hungry, the night before I had fed me with a hundred shrimp and in the morning and had eaten fish with yogurt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I carried nuts, toast and salted cashews, source of protein and fat, I ate it with gatorade sitting on the steps of the bakery. Little intake of carbohydrates and a reduction of voluntary weight that comes accompanied me a few months ago were fundamental in the quality of the pedal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;As aggravating, I did not know that from Aguas Mornas city would have a horrible mountain range most within an ecological reserve with no restaurant or bakery on the way. After some crazy rises that cost me a few hours, I wish to vomit when I stopped in a belvedere to eat more of those nutrients from cashew nuts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;If I stoped the pedal I felt desire to vomit and strange nauseas, then continued slowly cycling hill above to recover me.&lt;br /&gt;I was more a long and an endless hard stretch up and down enjoying the famine and endorfine, watching the bucolic landscape. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The people of the region are worker. There are plantings of cabbage, tomato, pumpkin and watermelon even with the road. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I imaginated a mature watermelon in the sidewalk that I could eat to stop pedaling and not feel nausea. I decided that when reaching the destination I would eat a whole watermelon. This watermelon imaginary was the propulsion of the pedal, your carbohydrate fed me on a pre-dated way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the top of a hill, as I observe that the window of his apartment, a curious cow made me remember life in major cities. Slowly and always cycling I arrived to the urban area of St. Boniface.&lt;br /&gt;I stopped ina small drink bar in the side of the road and asked for a watermelon. There were not watermelon there.&lt;br /&gt;Not even a slice of bread or biscuit or chips, potato chips, etc... All the shelves empty. Sweet thing only had coca-cola sold in glasses.&lt;br /&gt;I took a big and frozen cup and almost killed my throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I left there in the rain that has been increased to make me stop under the first bus shell. So sheltered, I laid in a seat of concrete with the helmet as pillow, and almost slept. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I was two kilometers from the hotel, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The rain didn´t stop so I had to wear my old jacket of nylon. I cycled fast to a good and cheap hotel, I left ther my few things and the bicycle and went seek for a watermelon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;After half watermelon eaten in slices I laid in bed. Just thinking about eating something else I already felt nausea. But after an hour of rest and digestion I have already felt prepared to devour a natural sandwish. After a phenomenal excellent dinner based in carbohydrates in the “restaurant of the island” I ended the day prepared for the second stage of the trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Cycled distance: 96 km&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-7324987805414399173?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/7324987805414399173/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=7324987805414399173' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/7324987805414399173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/7324987805414399173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html#7324987805414399173' title='Florianópolis-São Bonifácio'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/R4GeQrOlj-I/AAAAAAAAALM/5z3StVaBdI8/s72-c/DSC01816.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-6203357771414545982</id><published>2007-08-14T22:00:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:24:08.174-02:00</updated><title type='text'>As Ilhas</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english afther the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As Ilhas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalando apenas nos lugares já pedalados, praticando a arte de viajar, fui parar num universo virtual chamado &lt;a href="http://www.secondlifebrasil.com.br/"&gt;second life&lt;/a&gt; onde pedalei o suficiente para adquir 8 kg de reserva lipidica. Após oito meses de reclusão afastado de pedais significativos e reais voltei a pedalar mais do que leve numa ilha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsRwNWyIEII/AAAAAAAAAAM/ohPrWe3ifXc/s1600-h/MountainBiker+SL_001.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099324052846678146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsRwNWyIEII/AAAAAAAAAAM/ohPrWe3ifXc/s320/MountainBiker+SL_001.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em Florianopolis para onde minha família foi transferida tenho explorado a sensação de pedalar leve faz alguns meses. Na loja do Cicle Fernando, adquiri bicicletas e equipamentos ciclisticos para toda a familia, inclusive para meu filho de um ano e meio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nos sábados faço uma volta classica centro-rio tavares-lagoa da conceição-cento. Pedal solitario, lento e contemplativo. Nos domingos costumamos pedalar em familia pela Avenida Beira Mar Norte ou por trilhas fáceis em praias paradisíacas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsR3ZWyIEJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/vE-9LLQu6Js/s1600-h/DSC01137.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099331955586502802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsR3ZWyIEJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/vE-9LLQu6Js/s320/DSC01137.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Num fim de semana mais prolongado o grande companheiro de pedal Alberto veio comigo. Nosso intuito era um pedal leve, mas quando estamos juntos não podemos ver subida sem quer saber o que tem lá em cima.&lt;br /&gt;Portanto no primeiro dia de pedal a volta classica se trasfigurou numa escalada ofegante, passando pelo &lt;a href="http://www.arquifloripa.org.br/lagoa.htm"&gt;Santuario Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Lagoa&lt;/a&gt; e depois rumo a uma rampa de lançamento de asa delta nos altos do morro do assopro.&lt;br /&gt;No segundo dia e no sul da ilha arrebentei a correia nova tentando subir uma inclinação de 40 graus. Voltei até Pantano do Sul sobre a bike a 15 km/h usando a perna direita e o meio fio como propulsores somado aos empurrões do Alberto.&lt;br /&gt;Ali interrompemos o almoço dum bicicleteiro; enquanto ele emendou a correia a gente tomou uma ceva na beira da praia. O resto foi moleza com uma parada longa na praia da Armação, sobre as pedras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsR4FmyIEKI/AAAAAAAAAAc/kQzyhzf7Rn8/s1600-h/DSC01165.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099332715795714210" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsR4FmyIEKI/AAAAAAAAAAc/kQzyhzf7Rn8/s320/DSC01165.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;No último sábado fiz umas trilhas com o Fernado, propretario da loja Cicle Fernado. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;O Fernando, além de ser mountain biker é instrutor da academia de policia militar e jornalista. Ele havia me convidado para pedalar nas proximidades de Floripa há bastante tempo. Num Sábado pela manhã enquanto eu trocava um pneu borrachudo descosturando por um semi-slick novo, ele me apresentou um percurso de 7 km no google earth que ficava perto duma pedreira.&lt;br /&gt;- Fui lá com a minha esposa e o meu guri! Coisa leve.&lt;br /&gt;- Vamos nessa!&lt;br /&gt;No inicio da tarde nos encontramos na loja e dali saimos a 30 km/h rumo ao sopé do morro.&lt;br /&gt;- Bah! Tu pedalas nessa velocidade com tua esposa? Teu pessoal é bom de pedal!&lt;br /&gt;- Ah não! Isso é só para esquentar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsSwfWyIELI/AAAAAAAAAAk/w7KL3o9Qt0I/s1600-h/DSC01189.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsdrS2yIEQI/AAAAAAAAABM/7QY624egJVc/s1600-h/DSC01189.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100163074707951874" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsdrS2yIEQI/AAAAAAAAABM/7QY624egJVc/s320/DSC01189.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas começou a esquentar mesmo quando começamos a subir, e a bpm atingiu 160. A estrada era um labirinto no mato onde pulamos uma cerca caminhamos uma centena de metros carregando a bike até encontrarmos uma trilha quase oculta pelo pedregal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsdsQ2yIERI/AAAAAAAAABU/6IH_Zysl1yE/s1600-h/DSC01200.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100164139859841298" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsdsQ2yIERI/AAAAAAAAABU/6IH_Zysl1yE/s320/DSC01200.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sobe-desce no matagal apertado, cheguei rasgar a jaqueta de tanto galho. Pulamos mais umas cercas e chegamos a um descampado nos altos do morro de onde se avista praias e ilhas.Voltamos num ritmo alucinante a alta velocidade pelo mesmo caminho. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsSzZGyIEOI/AAAAAAAAAA8/y6x6czsft2M/s1600-h/DSC01215.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SN9zOE2Z4QI/AAAAAAAAAkI/w40aEKBmduE/s1600-h/LCjun08.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251042376194580738" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/SN9zOE2Z4QI/AAAAAAAAAkI/w40aEKBmduE/s320/LCjun08.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsdsQ2yIERI/AAAAAAAAABU/6IH_Zysl1yE/s1600-h/DSC01200.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Rsds-WyIESI/AAAAAAAAABc/1wLeUmsWy4Y/s1600-h/DSC01212.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100164921543889186" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/Rsds-WyIESI/AAAAAAAAABc/1wLeUmsWy4Y/s320/DSC01212.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The islands&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Cycling only in the places cycled yet, practising the art to travel, I stopped in an island, a virtual universe called &lt;a href="http://www.secondlife.com/"&gt;second life&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;where i cycled enought to get 8 kg of lipidica reserve. After eight months of reclusion, far from significant and real pedals I came back to cycle in other island. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;In &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlorianÃ³polis"&gt;Florianopolis&lt;/a&gt; city for where my family was transferred I have explored the sensation of cycle slow and short distances. In the store called Cicle Fernando, I acquired bicycles and equipment for all the family, also for my one and a half year old son. In saturdays I make a classica ride: downtown-river tavares-lagoon of the conceição-downtown. Alone, slow and contemplative ride. In the sundays we use go tocycle in family for the Side Sea Avenue or in easy riders near paradisiac beachs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;In a weekend more long, my greatest friend of pedal Alberto came with me. Our intention was a light pedal but as when we are together we cannot see an ascent without want to know what it has up there. In the first day the classic ride changed in an gasping scaling passing for a catholic santuary and later routed to a slope of launching of wing in the high of the mount of "assopro".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;In the other day and in the south of the island I crashed the new leather strap trying to go up an inclination of 40 degrees. I shovingly came back until "Pantano of the South" on bike in a speed of 15 km/h using the right leg and the way wire as propeller added to the pusshings of Alberto. There we interrupted the lunch of aguy that fix bicycles; while he amended the leather strap we drank a beer in the side of the beach. The remaining portion of the ride was easy, with a long stop in the beach of the "Scaffolding", on the rocks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Last saturday i made some tracks with Fernando, the owner of &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;e store Cycle Fernado has everything that a good cycler needs. The owner, beyond being mountain biker is instructor of the academy of military police and journalist. He had invited me to make tracks some time ago. In a saturday in the morning while I was changing larger for a new half-slick tire, he showed me a tack 5 km in google earth that wasin the proximity of some quarry.&lt;br /&gt;- I rode there with my wife and my son! Light thing.&lt;br /&gt;- Lets go There!&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning of the afternoon i met him in front store and from there we rode at so so 30 km/h route to the begining of the track in the hill.&lt;br /&gt;-Do you cycle in this speed with your family??&lt;br /&gt;-Oh no, it is only to make us warm!&lt;br /&gt;But it started to turn hot exactly when we startet to go up, and bpm reached 160. The road was hard to bike and soon we entered into a track almost occult by the stones and leaves. Going up and down in this tight track I teared the jacket of as much twig.&lt;br /&gt;In a few time we were in a field with big stones where we could see the beachs and islands. We came back by the same way in an alucinated rhythm and in high speed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-6203357771414545982?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/6203357771414545982/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=6203357771414545982' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6203357771414545982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/6203357771414545982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html#6203357771414545982' title='As Ilhas'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/RsRwNWyIEII/AAAAAAAAAAM/ohPrWe3ifXc/s72-c/MountainBiker+SL_001.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-116363548078137878</id><published>2006-11-16T22:10:00.000-02:00</published><updated>2007-02-20T08:22:09.896-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Viamão e a "Arte de Viajar"</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viamão e a "Arte de Viajar"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;No livro "&lt;a href="http://www.rocco.com.br/shopping/ExibirLivro.asp?Livro_ID=85-325-1578-9"&gt;A Arte de Viajar&lt;/a&gt;" Alain de Botton cita viagens feitas por Alexander von Humboldt (Viagem às regiões equinociais do novo continente) e por Xavier de Maitre (Viagem pelo meu quarto)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A primeira exigiu dez mulas, uma bagagem composta de trinta peças, quatro intérpretes, um cronômetro, um sextante, dois telescópios, um teodolito Borda, um barômetro, uma bússola, um higrômetro, cartas de apresentação do Rei da Espanha e uma arma de fogo. A segunda, um par de pijamas de algodão rosa e azul &lt;/em&gt;(A Arte de Viajar - Alain de Botton)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais adiante ele prossegue dizendo que "&lt;em&gt;se ao menos conseguíssemos aplicar uma disposição mental de viajante a nossos próprios locais, poderíamos descobrir que esses lugares se tornam não menos interessantes que os passos em altas montanhas e as selvas repletas de borboletas da América do Sul de Humboldt&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Botton conclui com uma citação de Nietzsche:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Quando observamos como algumas pessoas sabem gerir suas experiências - suas experiências insignificantes, do dia a dia - de tal modo que elas se tornem um solo arável que produz frutos três vezes ao ano, enquanto outras - e como são numerosas! - são arrebatadas pelas grossas ondas do destino, pelas correntes mais multifacetadas dos tempos e das nações, e ainda assim estão sempre à tona, como uma rolha de cortiça, acabamos sendo tentados a dividir a humanidade numa minoria (ínfima) dos que sabem extrair muito do pouco e uma maioria dos que sabem extrair pouco do muito.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Procurando encontrar significado na mensagem de Alain de Botton, fui em outro ciclopasseio até Viamão (RS) e o distrito de Águas Claras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Eu acreditava que praticar cicloturismo por lá seria insosso. Apesar de todo seu potencial turístico, Viamão é considerada apenas uma cidade dormitório.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devido à rotina e aos pensamentos repetitivos normalmente deixamos de perceber o mundo que nos cerca nas suas várias dimensões. Nossa visão seria direcionada para aquilo que nos interessa e o restante do todo ficaria transparente, como a água ou o ar - insosso e inodoro. O que não é focalizado cai nas trevas dos sentidos.&lt;br /&gt;Seguindo essa linha de raciocínio poderíamos ao final concluir que nosso universo consciente é o reflexo daquilo que pensamos e que a fé remove mesmo montanhas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por coincidência, assim que terminei de ler o livro, o seu Pedro Marcon me telefonou na manhã do feriado de quarta-feira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos pedalar?&lt;br /&gt;-Onde?&lt;br /&gt;-Que tal até o Lago Tarumã, no centro de Viamão?&lt;br /&gt;-Apesar de ter estado em Viamão mais de quatrocentas vezes nunca fui no lago. Passo aí às 14 hs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encontrei o seu Pedro num jardim, à sombra de um pé de umbu para fugir do calor. Cheguei suado e tomei dois ou três copos d'água de cacimba. A água gelada e o ambiente úmido das pedras cobertas de limo foi um bom refrigério.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00211B.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00206B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00206B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Era cerca de duas horas da tarde quando iniciamos o pedal a caminho do Lago Tarumã.&lt;br /&gt;Potente sol a pino, raios de um outro sol, que pareciam atravessar o pífio fator 15 do meu protetor solar; coisas relacionadas ao enfraquecimento da camada de ozônio em era de mudanças climáticas.&lt;br /&gt;Logo no início pedalamos numa rua com bastante sombra, lugar aprazível.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00211B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00211B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A descoberta do novo no velho começou por aí, achei que nunca tinha passado por aquela rua quando na verdade já tinha passado por ali noutras ocasiões da vida. Mas daquelas outras ocasiões eu ia carregado de peso e olhava para baixo e para outros objetos; as árvores e suas sombras passaram desapercebidas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da rua sombreada até Viamão fui pensando nos diversos aspectos da vida, o pedal passou em branco e distante do parceiro. Acordei em frente da vetusta igreja branca Nossa Senhora da Conceição como que atraído pelo sacrário. Nunca me canso de ver aquela igreja, e não é por acaso que essas naves me atraem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00215B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00215B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para se ter o espírito de viajante que nos fala Button devemos nos empenhar para ver o mundo em todos os prismas, para isso é necessário abandonar hábitos mentais esvaziando a mente de idéias cristalizadas e preconceitos. Com a mente vazia, procurei ver aquilo que já tinha visto e também o que havia se tornado invisível.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos para o lago!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entramos por novas ruas dentro do centro antigo. Paralelepípedos e uma longa descida que me levou a duvidar da razão e pensar que não estava pedalando em Viamão. Por um instante achei que estava descendo a serra.&lt;br /&gt;Lá em baixo uma estrada de terra e um lago grande e bonito demais para eu não ter percebido a sua existência nesses anos todos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alamedas de árvores nativas ao derredor, estradas sinuosas de chão batido feitas para um passeio bucólico, gentes pescando e nadando. Sombra e mais sombra de arvoredo, cheiro d’água, pequenas represas transbordando marrequinhas com um verde fosforescente, Tudo isso cabia ali, no centro da cidade que eu julgava conhecer bem demais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos para a casa dos padres!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subimos uma lomba até a RS 118 onde ficava o Abrigo e Centro Educacional João Paulo II. Seu Pedro disse que era amigo do irmão. Entramos portão adentro, uma turma de guris pedalantes, cada qual com sua bicicleta veio nos recepcionar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Tio! De onde vocês vêm? Para onde vocês vão.&lt;br /&gt;-Estamos indo para Águas Claras. Vocês moram aí?&lt;br /&gt;-Sim, e é bem legal de morar aqui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Admiro o trabalho do irmão e da irmã. Que altruísmo, cuidar dessa gurizada sem eira nem beira. Que Deus os acompanhe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos para Águas Claras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outro pedal sonhador. Até a estrada ajudou no devaneio. Sol forte, em direção à praia. Até parece que iríamos parar no mar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00232B.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00232B.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acordei na fábrica artesanal de facas e quadros onde seu Pedro parou para pegar uma pexeira que havia encomendado com o seu Valter.&lt;br /&gt;Entramos na fabriqueta onde havia uns xirus no batente e umas facas reluzentes de amostra no balcão. Eu estava vestindo bermudas e camisas largas, por isso não chamei tanta atenção quando falei alto para o seu Pedro devido ao barulho do esmirilho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Olha a faca!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de colocada a faca na bota seu Pedro lambeu os beiços, sol na cara. Pensei numa ceva gelada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos pegar umas geladas para tomar com o pessoal da Ponta do Aterro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Num boteco de beira de estrada compramos salame e queijo, enchi a sacola de skol. Saímos correndo para evitar o degelo das geladas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00239B.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00239B.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nas proximidades de Ponta do Aterro matamos a sede e fizemos umas trilhas a pé num mato desconhecido. O seu Pedro estava pensativo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-O que foi?&lt;br /&gt;-Tô com saudade da véia. Vamos indo que estamos de bike!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eram seis horas da tarde, largamos as garrafas vazias no boteco. Em quatro horas eu já tinha descoberto um mundo paralelo. E seu Pedro queria pedalar pesado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos nessa! Agora só paro em casa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Slow ride! Take it easy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00241B.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00241B.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dados numéricos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distância pedalda: 75 km&lt;br /&gt;Vm:19 km/h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Viamão city and the “The Art of travel”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;In the book “the Art of Travel”, Alain de Botton talk about the trips made for Alexander von Humboldt (Trip to the equinoctial regions of the new continent) and for Xavier de Maitre (Trip for my room) &lt;em&gt;The first one demanded ten mules, a composed luggage of thirty parts, four interpreters, a chronometer, a sextant, two telescopes, a teodolito Edge, a barometer, a compassing, one higrometer, letters of introduction of the King of Spain and a firearm.The second, a pair of pyjamases of pink and blue cotton.&lt;/em&gt; (The Art To travel - Alain de Botton)&lt;br /&gt;Ahead he continues saying that “&lt;em&gt;if at least we obtained to apply a mental disposal of traveller to our proper places,we could discover that these places would become not less interesting than the steps in high mountains and the forests full of butterflies of the South America of Humboldt&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;Botton concludes with a citation of Nietzsche:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;When we observe as some people know to manage its experiences - its insignificant experiences, day to day - in such way that they become one ground arable that produces fruits three times to the year, while others - and they are numerous! - they are carried by the thick waves of the destination, for chains most multifaceted of the times and the nations, and still thus they are always to up, as a cork oak, we finish being attemped to divide the humanity in a minority (lowermost) of the ones that know to extract very of little and a majority that know to extract little of very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Looking for to find meant in the message from the Alain de Botton, I went in another cycle stroll until Aguas Claras and Viamão city.&lt;br /&gt;I believed that already I knew sufficiently regarding that city and that to practise ciclotourism for there could be untaste and boring. In addition Viamão is a city dormitory, although the tourist potential. I thought that, due to the repetitive acts, normally we stop perceiving the world in its many dimensions. Our vision would be directed for what we have interest in, sothe rest remains transparent, untaste as the water or odourless like pure air.&lt;br /&gt;Following this line of reasoning we could conclude that our universe is the consequence of what we think and that the “faith removes mountains”. For coincidence its Peter telephoned me in the morning of thursday.&lt;br /&gt;- let´s go cycle!?&lt;br /&gt;- Where?&lt;br /&gt;- What about until the Lake of Tarumã, in the center of Viamão city?&lt;br /&gt;- Despite having been in Viamão more than four hundred times I never I went in the lake. Let´s go! Met you 2 PM.&lt;br /&gt;I found Mr Peter in the garden, to the one shade umbu tree, to keep cold from the heat. I arrived sweated and I took two or three water cups of a good water. The frozen water and the humid environment of the wet rocks were a good thing to keep the hot distant.&lt;br /&gt;It was about 2 PM when we initiate the pedal to Lago Tarumã. Powerful sun the bolt. Sun rays that seemed to cross the factor 15 of my sunner protector; things related to the weakness of the ozone layer in age of climatic changes.&lt;br /&gt;Soon at the beginning we cycled a street with sufficient shade, nice place. The discovery of the new in the old one started for there,I thought i had never passed for that street when in the truth I already had passed by there in other occasions of the life. But of those other occasions I went loaded of weight and I looked at to low eand to other objects; the trees and its shades had passed unfurnished.&lt;br /&gt;From the street shaded until Viamão I was thinking about the diverse aspects of the life, the pedal and surroundings passed in blank and distant of the partner. I woke up in front of the very old white church with attracted by the sacrarie. I never get tired myself to see that church, is not by chance that the church attract me. To have the traveller spirit that says Button we must in pledging to see them the world in all aspects, for this it is necessary to abandon mental habits emptying the mind of ideas and preconceptions. With the empty mind, I looked for to see what already it had seen and what it had never seen in the city of Viamão.&lt;br /&gt;-Let´s go to the lake!&lt;br /&gt;We took new streets in the old center of Viamão city. Parallelopipeds and a long descending that took me to doubt my reason and to think that it was not cycling in Viamão. For a few seconds I thouight that it was cycling in the mountain range. Back in low a land road and a pretty lake great e excessively to me not have perceived its existence in all these years. Tree-lined avenues of native trees to around, sinuous soil roads beaten made for a bucolic strolls, people fishing and swimming. Shade and more shade of trees, smell of water, small dams overflowing vegetables with a light green. Everything was fit there, in the center of the city that I judged to know very well.&lt;br /&gt;- Let´s go for the house of the priests! We went up one climb until RS 118 road where it was the shelter João Pablo II. Its Peter said that he was friend of the brother. We enter by the gate, a group of cycling little boys, each one with its bicycle came to give us wellcome&lt;br /&gt;- Uncle! Where are you comming from? Where are you going to?&lt;br /&gt;- We do not know exactlly. We are going for Clear Waters district. Do you all live here?&lt;br /&gt;- Yes, we do, and it is nice to live here. The sister adoptive mother of all the little boys took our photograph.&lt;br /&gt;I admire the work of the brother and the sister. That altruism, to take care of of thata boys without home. Lord help them!&lt;br /&gt;- Let´s go to Clear Waters district!&lt;br /&gt;Another dreaming pedal. Also the road it helped in the dream. Strong sun, in direction to the beach. Sometimes it seemed that we was going to stop in the sea. I woke up in the artisan factory of knives where Mr Peter stopped to catch a “pexeira” that had ordered with Mr Valter. We entered in the small factory where the guys were in the jamb and there were some beautiful knives as sample in the balcony. I was dressing wide bermuda shorts and shirts, therefore he was not so ugly when I spoke high to Mr Peter due to the racket of “esmirilho’.&lt;br /&gt;- Looks the knife!!&lt;br /&gt;After placed the knife in the boot its Peter licked the lips, sun in the face. I thought about a frozen fattening.&lt;br /&gt;- Let´s go to pass in bar to catch ones frozen beer to take with the staff of the “Tip of Aterro” district. In bar that never I had been I bought sausage and cheese and I fulled the bag of skol beer; we leave running to prevent the thawing of the frozen one.&lt;br /&gt;In the neighborhoods of Tip of Aterro we drunk the beer and made tracks by foot in unknown weeds. Mr Peter was thoughtful.&lt;br /&gt;- What happened?&lt;br /&gt;- I am missing my wife. Let´s go, because we are here by bicycles, not by car.&lt;br /&gt;It was 6 PM, we released the empty bottles in bar.I already had discovered the parallel world. Mr Peter wanted to cycle heavy.&lt;br /&gt;- Let´s go now! I will only stop at home!&lt;br /&gt;- Slow ride! Take it easy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Numerical data: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Distance cycled: 75 km&lt;br /&gt;Vm: 19 km/h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26876501-116363548078137878?l=perpedalando.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/feeds/116363548078137878/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26876501&amp;postID=116363548078137878' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/116363548078137878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26876501/posts/default/116363548078137878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perpedalando.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html#116363548078137878' title='Viamão e a &quot;Arte de Viajar&quot;'/><author><name>Vanglet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01695508401324759328</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c2ltne8211o/TP0K8I3BxoI/AAAAAAAABEc/wJKXMZPdlFA/S220/pampa%2B088%2B%252845bike%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26876501.post-116252253868361962</id><published>2006-11-03T22:40:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2007-01-29T14:36:07.686-02:00</updated><title type='text'>Vila Itapuã</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(in english after the portuguese)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DEUS%20AJUDA.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/VILADEITAPUA.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/400/VILADEITAPUA.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vila Itapuã &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No feriado de finados fui com o seu &lt;a href="http://inema.com.br/mat/idmat071209.htm"&gt;Pedro Marcon&lt;/a&gt; até a Vila Itapuã em Viamão-RS.&lt;br /&gt;Motorista aposentado, pintor, apaixonado primariamente por cicloturismo, nos seus sessenta e poucos anos de vida o seu Pedro diz que já pedalou algo em torno de quarenta mil quilômetros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Provavelmente devido à sua segunda grande paixão - as pedras - seu Pedro é também chamado de “Pedrão” pelos parceiros de ciclismo.&lt;br /&gt;Nos passeios e viagens de bicicleta ele pedala esquadrinhando o chão e beiras de estrada em busca de pedras atrativas - principalmente as redondas e lisas.&lt;br /&gt;Diz que sempre traz uma pedra de recordação de todo lugar por onde pedala. Logo pedras! Um objeto normalmente pesado e por isso mesmo difícil de transportar na bicicleta!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tive o privilégio de conhecer os quadros e o belo jardim “pedrido” do seu Pedro, onde ele organiza cuidadosamente as pedras recolhidas em décadas de pedal.&lt;br /&gt;Sem cerimônias ele orgulha-se do que faz e não faz segredo de suas paixões. Portanto, me autorizou a publicar algumas fotos neste blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00145B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00145B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00148B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00148B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Seu Pedro)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encontrei o seu Pedro às oito e meia da manhã de quinta-feira naquele jardim. Ele estava regando as pedras para preservar o musgo e deixá-las com um tom esverdeado.&lt;br /&gt;Prontos para o pedal, rapidamente pegamos as bicicletas e partimos para Viamão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedalamos lentamente até a estrada que vai para Itapuã no entroncamento da RS 40 com a RS 118. Ali entramos na chamada estrada do Fiúza e logo mais adiante na estrada Cel Acrísio Prates, que vai até as proximidades da Vila Itapuã.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00153B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00153B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00155B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00155B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00151b.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00161B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00161B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de vinte e poucos quilômetros pedalados naquela estrada de terra entre sítios, chácaras e fazendas, com pequenos açudes, campos, algumas casas antigas e figueiras nativas no costado como a nos observar e nós a observá-las, parei perto de uma figueira.&lt;br /&gt;Não parei por cansaço e sim porque a paisagem era atraente; vínhamos com uma velocidade média de 15 km/h somada a algumas paradas para fotografias.&lt;br /&gt;Encontrei seu Pedro logo mais adiante num bolicho de beira de estrada que ainda preservava no balcão uma daquelas balanças com ponteiro que fez relembrar minha infância.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu já tinha pedalado quatro vezes naquele trecho da estrada. Tinha ido de bicicleta até a Vila Itapuã quatro vezes, duas das quais havia pedalado até a localidade de Varzinha, às margens da Lagoa dos Patos. Mas cada pedal é diferente do outro embora a paisagem seja a mesma.&lt;br /&gt;A variação é definida pelo estado de espírito, preparo físico, equipamento e parceria entre outros fatores.&lt;br /&gt;Dessa vez achei a estrada e o tempo curtos e cheguei mais rápido e descansado do que das outras vezes, apenas estava com fome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Era onze e meia da manhã, fomos direto ao restaurante Calunas que fica atrás da Igreja Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes. Prato do dia, duas garrafas de cerveja, picolé. Estávamos prontos para passear a pé no terreno arenoso ao largo da praia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/REST%20CALUNAS.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/REST%20CALUNAS.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Havia pouco movimento na vila. Pensei em dar uma volta de barco, mas o passeio somente seria realizado às 15 hs, isso se tivesse no mínimo oito participantes. O custo do passeio de duas horas é vinte reais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O seu Pedro é muito comunicativo. Fala alto e bastante. Depois de um bom tempo na sombra das árvores, conversamos com alguns moradores sobre os morros ao derredor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chamou-me atenção os juncos que crescem na areia e dentro d’água. Um pouco de cerveja pode ter desencadeado a tendência natural de procurar fotografar o surreal. Entrei na água e molhei os tênis para capturar imagens dos juncos e depois aprisioná-las como plano de fundo do monitor de um computador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00180B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00180B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00181B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00181B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00184B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00184B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu gostaria de pedalar até a praia das pombas no &lt;a href="http://www.sema.rs.gov.br/sema/html/bioconh5.htm"&gt;Parque Estadual de Itapuã&lt;/a&gt;, mas segundo informações é proibido andar de bicicleta lá dentro. Portanto decidimos voltar para Porto Alegre.&lt;br /&gt;No trecho que liga a vila de Itapuã ao Lami o seu Pedro mostrou seu lado velocista: pedalou com uma velocidade média certamente superior a 30 km/h .&lt;br /&gt;Como normalmente pedalo com 60% do potencial, fiquei para trás o suficiente para não perdê-lo de vista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/DSC00193B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/DSC00193B.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entramos numa estrada secundária que vai até o Lami, uma estrada de terra, vazia, quase plana, que me fez recordar o trecho da BR 116 entre Jaguarão e Arroio Grande.&lt;br /&gt;Encontrei seu Pedro na areia.&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos tirar fotos mais adiante.&lt;br /&gt;Rapidamente passou um pontilhão e desapareceu pedalando.&lt;br /&gt;Eu vi uns barcos encalhados ali perto do pontilhão e sentei um pouco fora do selim para descansar.&lt;br /&gt;Mais adiante tiramos fotografias entre a vegetação abundante da beira do estuário. Haviam algumas pessoas por ali, provavelmente moradores do Lami. Ninguém dentro d’água, apesar do sol forte a água estava gelada.&lt;br /&gt;-Vamos tomar um suco no suco!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/1600/LAMI.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2346/2818/320/LAMI.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O seu Pedro continuou pedalando forte até o “suco”. O que me chamou atenção foi o fato dele pedalar até nas descidas leves, mesmo sem vento contra ou rodas travadas. Eu segui atrás procurando não forçar muito o pedal, sempre mantendo aquela percentagem estratégica de limite de esforço.&lt;br /&gt;Enfim chegamos ao “suco”, a famosa fruteira na beira da estrada que liga o bairro Restinga ao Lami e que todo integrante das listas de discussão do yahoo “bike-rs” e “poabikers” conhece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sempre muito comunicativo, depois de recuperar o fôlego, o seu Pedro começou a falar para uma platéia curiosa ao ver aquele senhor de cabelos brancos, vindo de não se sabe onde, suado e vestindo roupas de ciclista.&lt;br /&gt;- Pedalei pelo Uruguai, Argentina e nordeste brasileiro. Está tudo no site do Inema... Vamos subir a serra do corvo branco e esse meu parceiro vai junto!&lt;br /&gt;- Puxa! É mesmo?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essa expressão de espanto deve ter sido por causa da minha reserva lipídica na região umbilical. Uma reserva dessas é bastante útil nos casos de pedais de longa distância através do agreste onde abunda água e falta alimentação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saímos do “suco” a alta velocidade, o seu Pedro sempre na frente.&lt;br /&gt;- Vamos para a usina do gasômetro!&lt;br /&gt;- Boa idéia.Vamos por Ipanema!&lt;br /&gt;- Não, vamos pelo Teresópolis!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na Avenida Eduardo Prado ouvi um “plac plac plac” que vinha de uma das rodas da Volare.&lt;br /&gt;- Vou parar! Pelo barulho deve ser alguma pedra presa nos grampos do pneu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para o ciúme do seu Pedro era mesmo uma pequena pedra, redonda e lisa.
