wonderful Brenta - Ortles brevet (363 km + 8088 m) - video

Post by gyorgyigabor »

Hello !
I'm proud to present my cycling video about the italian permanent brevet Brenta - Ortles (officially 363 km + 8088 m). Time to finish: 34 hours.
It's route is wonderful and challenging (with legendary Giro d'Italia climbs):
Pietramurata - Molveno - Passo Palade (1518 m) - Merano - Passo dello Stelvio (2760 m) -landslide on the descent - Bormio - Passo di Gavia (2621 m) - Ponte di Legno - Passo del Tonale (1883 m) - Dimaro - Passo Campo Carlo Magno (1682 m) - Stenico - Pietramurata.
I loved it very much and beside it was adventurous because on the Stelvio descent I had to climb through rocks because serious landslides caused by a strom.
During the winter I will edit a longer, ca. 40 minutes long video too and in few weeks time I will share a ca. 2 pages long travelogue about it.

I can truely suggest riding this wonderful challenge or parts of the route !

Last year I did Mortirolo, Gavia, Umrail, Stelvio, Forcola di Livigno, Passo Eira and Foscagno in a row : 345 km + 8998 m riding this touringbike - during Valtellina Extreme Brevet :) (32 hours, 40 min.)
Have You done that challenge in the saddle of a touringbike ? :)

and few years ago I did the Trittico Mortirolo as the 1st hungarian to ride that too. :)
