Thanks again for posting this, Suzanne. This is a region we want to come back to before long, and you’ve given us some ideas on where to look. Congratulations on the ride, too! It sounded like you were a bit apprehensive going in, but it was a big success. We look forward to seeing you on the road again soon.
5 years agoWhat a wonderful tour. Thank you for writing all the great stories of you ride and posting those beautiful photos.
5 years agoHi Suzanne - thanks for posting your trip. We had full intentions of doing this route this year but it just didn’t happen. But we have done a few sections of it so with your journal we have a good sense of what we missed. So Its going to have to be another time. All the best to both of you.

I want to ride this right now. I had no idea how wonderful this route was. Thanks for the tour.
5 years agoWell, maybe we’ll be lucky and one of the group will roll through your part of the world some year. We’re a pretty mobile crowd, so you never know.
5 years agoThanks, Scott! That would be a great goal for a coffeeneuring ride, just a bit too far. Darn.
5 years agoBTW, I just came across the Bicycle Life forum you were probably referring to not long ago. Consider yourself an honorary member of the Hostile Actor’s Club. If you’re ever in the Pacific Northwest, do stop in for your complementary initiation beverage.

5 years agoThanks for following along, Rich!
😊
Continuing to enjoy reading your journal and fantastic photos!
5 years agoOh, my gosh what a beautiful collection! We’re definitely putting this route on the wish list.
5 years agoGreat clouds, huh? But they had their price!
The train was simple and I think it was only about 10 minutes. I haven't ridden as many mountain roads as you and don't have the comparison, but I found this spectacular. Going into Italy it got even better.
The clouds are incredible in these photos, Suzanne! And I was glad to read this post because it’s a route I’ve wondered about taking sometime. I’ve been biased against it because you can’t just bike through, but taking a train over the top looks like no big deal at all.
5 years agoI feel the same as you Suzanne about riding too long on the flat. nice (easy) rollers are much more comfortable l think.
