bontie Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Thought I'd share my excitement with all of you. My weekend rides will be :
Benjamin Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Looks cool. Going up the pass in the photo might take the weekend though
bontie Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Looks cool. Going up the pass in the photo might take the weekend though It is Stelvio Pass - 23odd km and roughly 1550m of ascent, 46 switchbacks. We only have Saturday morning :-)

gummibear Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Good luck with Stelvio,that"s one of the highest passes in Europe!!! I have driven it and still want to cycle it some time but it scares the hell out of me
DJR Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 That picture of the "Stairway to Heaven" is something that excite and scare me at the same time. I would love to climb that with an I-Pod (I know one shouldn't) playing the meanest rock all the way to the top.

I would love to climb that with an I-Pod (I know one shouldn't) playing the meanest rock all the way to the top. What a feeling that wouldn't be at the peak, huffing and puffing. SAYING HELL YA I DID THIS. With ACDC - HIGHWAY TO HELL Edited September 9, 2011 by DamMTBer
LeTurbo Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Well, I'm doing the Tour de Worcester! Nah-nah-na-nah-nah! Humph! Enjoy it Bontie ... who wouldn't? Sigh.
Stumbles Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 that looks like an awesome ride -- very jealous. :thumbup:
Ratty Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I think I would be exhausted from just riding down that pass. Looks amazing.
Mr Legs Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I nearly, nearly did the Sella Ronda in June......
SwissVan Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Good luck with Stelvio,that"s one of the highest passes in Europe!!! I have driven it and still want to cycle it some time but it scares the hell out of me LOL Ive been saying that for 8 years Good luck Bontie, looks like you will have some good weather, hope it's not to crowded
bontie Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 It was truly a most enjoyable weekend. Anyone who owns a roadbike should really try and spend time in the Dolomites at some point.
