This page is just a placeholder for everything related to my cycling adventures in Italy, Italian cols I created info pages on and those on my “Been There, Done That” list.
Sella Ronda
New Gran Fondo Pages
An ongoing display of “Too much time on my hands” and “I have no life”…
I have added pages for my favorite Granfondos – I know you love it 😂
They are: the Maratona dles Dolomites, the Marmotte Alpes and the Sella Ronda Bike Day.
Yes, I could have spared myself the effort of creating a page for the latter, as it is part of the long version of the Maratona.
Did you not understand the first sentence of this post?
Sellaronda
The Sellaronda is a popular track in Italy that has its own event.
While it’s technically not a Granfondo – too short, no timing – I labeled it as one anyway.
It’s a tour around the Sella Group, which has four climbs / passes.
These are, clockwise from Corvara:
Passo Campolongo (1,875m)
Passo Pordoi (2,240m)
Passo Sella (2,244m)
Passo Gardena (2,121m)
Giro d’Italia
Una passione che non finisce mai
Una passione che non finisce mai“Giro d’Italia!” is my first thought whenever the Treasury Secretary gives the green light for another trip into the high mountains.
To be more precise: I first think of the Dolomites in the northeast.
Nearly equally shared between the provinces of Belluno, South Tyrol and Trentino, the latter two together being referred to as Trentino-Alto Adige.
Giro d’Italia 2011
In July 2011 Cyclopaat – accompanied by Paula – made a trip through the Italian Alps, dubbed ‘Giro d’Italia 2011’.
