Just a week has passed since I returned home to Liguria, and things are already in full swing! First of all—you probably noticed the new haircut 😉
I felt like it was time for a change: something lighter, fresher, and definitely more practical for the hot summer days ahead. It feels great!
Life back home is treating me well. After a long and intense winter season, it’s refreshing to slow down just a bit and enjoy everything this region has to offer. Even though it’s only been a few days, I’ve already packed in a lot—and to make sure you don’t miss anything, make sure you follow me on Instagram: @riccardovaraldo. That’s where I post behind-the-scenes moments from my everyday life.
And there’s more: I’ve officially launched my weekly vlog on YouTube! 🎥
It’s currently only in Italian, so if you don’t speak the language, just turn on the subtitles. Every week I share a glimpse into my off-season life—from workouts to local adventures and everything in between.
Speaking of off-season… not everything is sunshine and spritz. This winter I gained a few extra kilos (thanks, raclette and polenta!). So starting this Monday, I’m officially back on a clean diet. And to support the effort, I’ve also resumed gym training three times a week and got back on my road bike!
I’ve only done one ride so far, but my weekly goal is at least two rides, ideally three. It feels so good to be moving again and chasing new goals—even in the off-season.
That’s it for now, friends. Stay tuned for next week’s blog post—coming, as usual, between Tuesday and Wednesday. Thanks for following my journey, both on and off the slopes!
Catch you soon,
Riky
