2012 Bucket List

2011 cycling results surpassed all my expectations.  Our lovely weather provided ample opportunities for mountain riding and, other than a brief spell in October, I avoided injury/illness.  As a result I completed some climbs I wouldn't have imagined possible a year ago, including:

Climb                                                      Meters climbed
Monte Crostis from Comeglians            1520m
Vršič - Passo Predil                                1855m
Monte Grappa from Pederobba             1902m
Zoncolan from Sutrio                              1303m
Giau - Staulanza                                      2349m
Mangart                                                    3084m
Tre Cime Di Lavaredo                            1282m
Passo San Pellegrino - Passo Valles    1838m
Passo di Fedaia                                       1078m
Sella Ronda                                              1620m
Passo-Falzarego - Passo Valparola      1701m
Monte- Croce Carnico-Nassfeldpass    2194m
Casera Crosetta                                       3044m

If I had to pick a favorite I guess I'd choose Altopiano Montasio (1515 m high) for the gorgeous approach up Canal di Raccolana, the challenging climb from Selle Nevea to the altopiano, the solitary wildness, and the incredible 360 degree panorama of Monte Canin and other peaks.

Here's some goals for 2012:
Giro delle Pale di San Martino (Passo di Valles, Passo Rolle, Primiero, Passo Cereda, Forcella Aurine)
Bocca di Forca da Possagno
Gross Glockner
Giau da Cortina
Passo di Falzarego da Cortina
Giro di Monte Cristallo da Cortina
Passo delle Erbe (from Corvara via Passo Gardena)
Manghen

Far-fetched, but we'll see:
Zoncolan da Ovaro
Stelvio da Prato
Gavia da Ponte di Legno
Mortirolo da Mazzo
