July 3, 2024,Gardasee: Monte Velo

The classic warm-up - literally. At the top of the pass, 11 degrees drizzle (finally wet again after the drought so far 😂).

Below halfway, a local in a world champion jersey passed me and above halfway, he came towards me again - well, …

Morning: San Giovanni - the rustic one
Afternoon: Monte Velo - the dash

Monte Velo - definitely my favorite pass and ideal for daily training. If you live in Arco...

Beautiful route with lots of hairpin bends on a comfortable, narrow road with good asphalt at a solid 1000 meters in altitude in one go and a constant gradient. 👍

Always happy 😀

I've known these serpentines …
