Monte Pala MTB

From Travesio I MTB’ed to Clauzetto and Pradis di Sopra.  Missed the turn for Monte Pala and took the steep way from Orton instead.  Turned into a dirt road which I vaguely remembered.  A guy on a tractor stopped to warn me the road ended soon, so I turned around and got back to the pavement.  This connected with the road ascending Monte Pala.  Beautiful, cool climbing weather.  At the top continued until the trail becomes a karst outcropping.  Headed back and a MTBer said we should try the north pala.  This is one of those things I keep putting off and I had to do it again: Marilyn was home waiting and another couple of hours exploring wasn’t possible.  Fun ride back down to Travesio.  Will try again soon.
