Cima della Cima

Rode into a headwind all the way to Villa di Villa then climbed up to Castello di Cordignano and over the new bridge above Rugolo.  At the sign to Castellir and Alpini church headed more steeply upward.  I struggled to within a few hundred meters of the church and conked out.  I rested awhile and reached the next climb up to Cima della Cima.  This winds upward to a rifugio and pretty old house.  Continued on dirt road up past the Alpine wetland and eventually reached  Strada del Patriarca.   Coasted back down to Villa di Villa and rode the tailwind all the way home.  Killer climb
