Cycling Dolomiti Friulane: Montereale Valcellina

I thought I'd check out the gravel climbing ability of Maxima's 28mm treads so I rode up through Montereale past Monte Spia and the Osservatorio Astronomico to 773 meters. The bike worked great though I did have to stop and push a few times when the gravel got deep or too steep. I returned the way I came until turning left on a trail at 370 meters. This trail crosses the hill which the last tunnel from Barcis passes beneath. I had to push the bike and carry it much of the time because it's narrow rocky singletrack. Eventually I reached Castello di Montereale and then hiked around it carrying the bike (luckily very light). I hiked down to top of Ravedis dam and then rode home. Fun!
