132 kilometers, 2169 meters vertical
Two small climbs start out the day. Very wet on road
and I am feeling good climbing, then a flat. Chris stops and helps and we press to get back on the group. We ascend through the clouds, then start a great easy turned descent. We regroup at the bottom and I get a shot of a local filling up his water bottles with fresh water
We do next climb together and encounter an alpine traffic jam
We have lunch at top - a Gorgonzola and ham pizza for me. Descend and work our way along a ridge, going in and out of some slot canyons. Finally we do the last of the bonus climbs, and stop for a quick picture
View of Lake Garda on the descent
We stop in town for a gelato and macchiato then go a little up the road to our hotel - nice view
What a trip! Spectacular riders, views, and climbs. Some of the vistas are just indescribable.
