A very typical Dolomiti climb - hard work, but very spectacular. It starts off steep as you leave the village at the bottom and it tends to stay that way. Allow about 54 minutes to ride it if you're a club B-grade rider like me averaging 232w. It is a real climber's climb in that it is steep but no…
Rode this on 29/05/2014. For a club B-grade rider such as myself doing this as part of the Sella Ronde loop, it took about 52 minutes.

I am a club B-grade rider (70kgs) and managed to ride it okay even though I'd ridden the Mortirolo that morning. However, I'm extremely glad I had a 34x32 gearing because …

Rode this on 26th of May 2014 while I was still recovering from a cold at the time. The lowest gear ratio on my bike was 34 x 32 - which was just right! It took 1:19 sign to sign (average speed 8.8km/h and average power - according to Strava - of 209 watts). In other words, with the right gearing, …

Therefore it arises the curiosity of many and can be seen as an opportunity to try to take advantage from it: negotiating discounts, partnerships etc… Alon…
