Panaramica Cansiglio-Piancavallo da Coltura

A beautiful clear cool day for my favorite local climb.  I warmed up riding to Coltura then headed upward.  At Mezzomonte cemetery turn left and begin riding the long steep climb.  The final km are the steepest so you must conserve energy along the way.  Finally you reach the panaramica, but after a brief chance to catch your breath the gradient continues a long steady climb to 1500 meters.
After dipping down to Valle Friz you rise again to 1500 meters below Monte Candole then begin the long descent to Piancavallo and home.  I got off the bike completely knackered.
