Hope you stopped at one of the biker-bars/cafes along this route! A world class cycle path along the Brenta!

4 weeks agoThere are many of these in Freiburg. We were there yesterday and the ‘ water troughs’ were lined with people cooling their feet! It was 34-35C.

I agree, it seems like an art installation.

1 month agoQuick question . We just drove the Passo Gardena today almost exactly a month after we cycled it. It has been freshly paved since we were here. Beautiful smooth black asphalt on the top three km ( no lines painted). Was this done when you cycled it? When we did it the pavement was ok but a bit like Roger’s pass, a few rough spots and potholes 😛. Pretty impressive they got that much replaced in a month or less as there didn’t seem to be any construction activity when we biked it.
1 month agoSo good you made the decision to follow those other cyclists. Such a nice path. Quite different scenery for you today. Variety is good, isn't it. Sounds like it's getting a bit warm. Glad you got most of your cycling days in before it got too hot. Keep hydrated!! I know you will. xx

So intriguing, thnx for including this bit of historical information, especially as it pertains to places not too far from here.
1 month agoDuring this ride, it did indeed sound & look like there was a lot of joy & the surprising fun of seeing the competition riders!
Music & captions were fun!
It is inimaginable how one would be able to navigate those small, twisty alleyways without some high-tech gps gear?
Oh wow! Those gorgeous views just don’t quit! Your entire journey has been one majestic scene after another! One stunning valley & mountain scape followed by another!
Never gets dull. How glorious.
The pretty silver piece hold hot water for your tea?
