Moving to the next location is always quite an operation. And yet it is only just nine o’clock when we descend from our house to the town hall of Chivasso, where the tree bike is located. There, as agreed, we leave behind about thirty little trees that we can no longer give out because they have lost too many leaves. We decide, before we start cycling, to put out the big map on the square and hand out trees, partly because there is a big market today. We wrestle the tree bike through the crowd and to the accompaniment of a violin we hand out the trees and leaflets in the little square in front of the big church with its beautifully decorated facade. It is always difficult to start it up, to claim the space, especially when it is crowded, but afterwards the result is extra nice. Even now, within three quarters of an hour all twenty-five little trees were handed out and a multitude of leaflets. What a positive response, what a good action. It also makes us happy. We will send the pictures of it to the mayor and journalist. It is already almost noon when we cycle away, Sanne, Daan, Vera and I. Richard, Yka and Leo are driving the cars. The route in this area is much along provincial roads and that does not cycle pleasantly, also we cycle remarkably often wrong today because my internet does not work properly, something with data limit. In short, the route is quite messy today. We do have a nice lunch together on the shoulder of the road while the planes taking off from Turin make a lot of noise around the corner. In Volpiano, where we pass, we stop by the town hall and also take a photo and exchange addresses and give a tree and the forest book. Already more than twenty municipalities in Italy we have spoken to briefly and are enthusiastic. As we continue cycling we notice how the mountains are now really getting very close, they seem to want to close in on us. And even the first small inclines have to be taken, when going up I have to switch the tree bike back to “snail mode. It is around six o’clock when we enter Avigliana, the end point for today. We have arranged to meet in the historic center, which turns out to be a lot higher up, so it’s a big climb. First I look for a suitable garage to replace the universal joint that Vincent and Liesbeth will bring from the Netherlands this evening. I find two possible garages. Up in time tomorrow morning to arrange that on the spot. I hear from Sanne how impossible the climb to the historic center is, especially with a bicycle in hand. When I get there everyone is already there, our team and Vera and Leo. How good a beer is after such a climb. Leo and Vera love our project and surprise us by announcing that they are going to make a nice donation to Circle4Change. How nice. Since Vincent and Liesbeth will also arrive soon from the Netherlands, we decide to have something to eat on the square and then go to our new accommodation in Susa, which is still half an hour away. Coincidence brings us into Ciclocucina, the cycling restaurant, who think our cycling project is a great story. It is very cozy together, even though we are tired. We toast to the Alps that we can now almost touch. After parking the bikes, watering the tree bike and taking out the batteries, we drive in the dark to our new location. It is around 11:30 when we arrive there. A fine place with a large garden, where in addition to our camper and car with trailer, the E-campers of Leo-Vera and Vincent-Liesbeth can also be parked. We drink another tea and go flat. It has been a long day. I hope it will work tomorrow with the universal joints. First things first, let’s get some sleep.
