through some of these
Past a whole bunch of these...
Through a couple of these...
Up a whole bunch of this
To where the pavement ended and the climb took me up to this...
then shirtless another few hundred meters up through these...
to this amazing spot...
then a little higher to this...
where I thankfully grubbed all of this...
and drank the coldest freshest water from this...
rode some dirt...
to this amazing view!
Jammed back down this...
till I could see Faenza in the distance
where I spied...
and snapped a photo of this gal,
who hopefully will see all that I got to see today.
108.5km, 8 hours, and at least 1007 meters to the passo. A quote form the ride journal...
"whispering pines celebrate the crystal clear mountain pass on a perfect spring day. Legs feeling worked, lungs feeling strong, mind feeling clear, heart wide open. At the crossroads of Tredozio and Portico San Benedetto 54.15km up a mountain, a 915mt pass below me and as much as it looks and feels sometimes familiar... you can keep your colorados and your oregons, and your californias...the peace and solitude of a place I never dreamed possible and the life I am living here is what I want - belissimo!"
