Again today I visited a favorite pass before the the snow arrives. The approach through Val Meduna was quite shady and chilly. At the the top of Lago di Redona the road begins ascending steeply giving me a chance to warm a little. Finally above Tramonti di Sopra the saliscendi ends and the climb starts for real. Beautiful tornanti, streams, trees, rocky cliffs make this climb very special. Saw a couple of deer and a hiker, otherwise deserted.
On the descent I froze again and never really thawed. Instead of feeling dopey from the hypothermia today I felt exceedingly calm. Quite pleasant actually. A wonderful ride.
