Montelonga MTB

l rode up through the tunnels to Barcis, across the dam, continuing until just before the turn off for Piancavallo.  Turn left on paved road  for Montelonga.  This is deadly steep but I made it up without stopping.  At end of pavement you can continue without stopping but today I soon reached the first of many impassable treefalls which I climbed over, under and through.  This was a small sampling of the damage from the hurricane force winds that swept through northern Italy last November.  Eventually I took   the road eastward where less trees were knocked down and descended.  I ended up  meeting the behind-the-lake road again back almost at the dam.  Very fun ride.
