Great cycling year! 🙂 All the Best for 2017!
Fantastic picture gallery Will. Where is the one in August ? with the gravel switchback ?
The photo with red/white jersey? That is the old “road” (car-free) Strada Militare delle Finestre – Gran Serin. ABOVE Colle delle Finestre. A truly, truly amazing road. Great loop: Climb Colle delle Finestre (super challenging), join Strada dell’Assietta and cimb to Colle dell’Assietta (2472m), at the colle leave Strada dell’Assietta onto Strada Militare delle Finestre – Gran Serin. Passes many old forts/ruins, traverses a few cols, reaches almost 2800m, then loops back down to Colle delle Finestre. For map and details see:(as tough, quiet, and beautiful loop as you’ll ever do) https://www.cycling-challenge.com/strada-dellassietta-colle-delle-finestre-a-detailed-look/
