Pala Barzana via Valdifrina

Pala Barzana from the east is a little less steep, but you can fix that by approaching via Valdifrina instead of Poffabro.  It hits 15% and is wonderfully shady; give it a try.

The rest of the ride is very familiar, but still is beautiful and feels like wilderness.  After the descent to Andreis I rode through the long tunnel and home.  Fun!
