Madean-Pianezze-Rifigio Mareich

I needed to test my new front wheel when braking hard so I headed toward Valdobbiadene.  After parking at Follina I warmed up on the climb to Combai then turned onto Via Madean.  This is a great climb through dense forest, good on a hot day.  At the top it opens up to the beating sun, and you start a rolling traverse  to Pianezze.

Here you start the second climb of the day to Rifugio Mareich, which is less shaded but cooler at altitude.  At end of pavement I turned around and headed back.  Fun descent but long.
