Venezia delle Nevi on Road Bike

I intended to scale the moderate climb from Dardago to end of pavement at Val di Croda this afternoon.  When I reached  end of pavement I noticed the road had been graded fairly smooth and widened.  I continued upward to see how long it lasted.  It just kept going on and on.  All of the scruby trees that had overrun the road were gone, as were the giant piles of boulders that had blocked  the road for decades.  At 1100 meters I quit because snow made it too muddy to continue on a road bike. Will try this on MTB next spring.

Getting too slushy at 1140 meters

Crode di San Tome

We suddenly have a wonderful new climb
