Duane_Bosch Posted October 11, 2017 Share Up Monte Grappa. So so so so hard. The last 2 pics are of a ride we did from Bassano up to Tortima and then back down to Marostica. Possibly my best day ever on a road bike. Edited October 11, 2017 by Duane_Bosch Spokey, Sepia, BenReaper and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted October 13, 2017 Share Bassano to Lago di Corlo via Valstanga. The Giro went up the same road this year but turned left to Foza. By the way. This trip cost less than an entry for for the Epic. 2 People. A week in Europe. Under 35k. You CAN do Europe on a budget.

Duane_Bosch Posted October 13, 2017 Share @ Duane_Bosch Stunning pics . That's some climbing you did .Would spend this money all day long beofre the overpriced epic.Awesome man ...enjoyThanks man. Yup. Look make no mistake I respect people that do the epic but the pricing of the event makes it silly. Our 7 day trip to Italy cost 35k all in. Flights, Insurance, Airbnb etc. FOR 2 PEOPLE. We chose Bassano because of the easy access from Venice and that the Giro went up the Grappa and past Valstagna up to Foza this year. I'd watched a Col Collective on the Grappa and Neville Cragg went there in Feb and he gave us a few tips. The grappa was SO SO SO tough. The last 10km was in the clouds so we had no visual clues as to where we were on the mountain. I also had to coax my Fiance up the hill coz she was getting gatvol towards the end. It's 27km of 6-8% uphill all the way. with 1 tiny 400m downhill about 12km from the top. But I now know that I'm capable of pretty much any significant climb. I won't take any KOMs but I'll get up the hill. coming down was also tough coz it was freezing cold. The real riding wasn't on the Grappa tho. Riding up the valley next to the Brenta and riding up the mountain next door to the Grappa was AMAAAAAZING!!!

Eddy Gordo Posted October 13, 2017 Share Agree fully as far as costing goes. There is so much more variety/ things to do with your money should you wish to spend 10k, 20, 30k, etc on an event. DJR, Pikey and Andrew_Smith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
