Funny how you don't really remember the things you zip by on a descent... We did the same route in reverse, Cortina to Caprile. I don't remember much from the summit because, by the time I get there, Al is antsy to get moving again.

Scott. I recalled you doing this hike, but I was not sure if you rode up there. There is no way I will be doing this climb at 70. You're a superstar. Seriously!

Great. Me either! Thanks for the feedback. Thought I may have been overdoing it with the dramatic scenery.

Nope.

You say you’ll never forget it, but you might surprise yourself. I had forgotten all about that agonizing climb to Tre Cime from Misurina four years ago: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/dubrovnik2018/to-dobbiaco-toblach/. Thanks for the reminder, I think.

Hi Keith. It's pretty stunning alright. It's nice to be back.

Hi Hannah. Thanks for taking the time to write. It's such an incredible area. Hope you get out on your own tour one day. I have a hunch that you'd love cycle touring. Hope you're good. I'm sure you're loving the break from school.

Really enjoying the scenic imagery so far. So incredible. Glad you two are enjoying the trip, happy riding!!🚴🚴

An amazing place to cycle … brings back some fond memories of our ride in that area. Enjoy!!!

Hi Dave. So true. It was the right decision for us. Besides, we have more opportunities to hurt our legs in the coming days.😩

It's perfect for climbing, that's for sure. With the cassette sizes and lo g cage rear derailleurs out there, it's amazing how big you can go.

Hi Jacquie. I know, right. Things worked out pretty good. If only we could share clothes.😀

Exactly our experience! So frustrating, eh?

Hi Jacquie. HaHa. Maybe Al could carry it? But, it doesn't sound too keen on the idea.

I was standing in line at MEC to buy chain lube and saw some really light "travel umbrellas" but Al nixed the idea. Maybe I'll get one for a future trip.
