Pianezze + Rifugio Mariech

This climb is the twin of Madean-Rifugio Mareich from a couple of weeks ago.  Not identical twins though:  the road from Valdobbiadene to Pianezze is a wide well-paved highway up to a ski resort, similar to Via Piancavallo.  But they share the road continuing up to Rifugio Mareich.  Normally you would descend on the better road but today I traversed over to Casera Budoi, then down to Madean in search of my lost pair of glasses.  No luck though.  Still a very fun ride.
