Soverzene

Rode up through the tunnels to Barcis, through Cimolais, over Passo San Osvaldo, through the tunnel at Vajont dam, down the switchbacks to the Piave River and southward to Soverzene.  They've greatly improved the pista ciclabile along the banks of the Piave  since I last visited.  Instead of a muddy footpath it's a paved bike path, concrete cantilevered along the previously eroded river bank.  There's even nylon fencing along the edge to catch you if you take a tumble.  This eventually connects to the previous hard-packed earth bike path and then pavement along the canal toward Lago di Santa Croce.  I missed a turn on the ciclabile, instead taking a fun deviation on a dirt road, miraculously avoiding the giant mud puddles along the way.

At Farra d'Alpago I began the lakeside ride with some wind-blown sprinkles falling from il Cansiglio high above.  Down the switchbacks to Vittorio Veneto and then the long ride home.  Happy and tired.

Wonderful new pista ciclabile along Piave River 

Previously this old construction tunnel was full of mud
so you had to carry your bike 

Monte Dolada, daring me to try climbing it again
