More Passo Giau, which is the highest climb used in the Maratona (would love to participate in the long course in the future):






















So basically, Murphy got his ass (can we still say that) kicked. Yes, riding a bike in Italy is arguably better than 9W or the park but riding a bike seems like a good idea in general. That seems to be the takeout from the trip. Also, "to suffer is to learn". I'm still not sure what the lesson is from suffering but I just like that quote; seems to make the hard stuff seem a bit easier and laughable.


The End (of the cycling part of the trip)

Thanks for viewing. Hope you enjoyed!
