Check out the views at 2:12, 3:43 and 6:26... anyone care to guess how many are attempting the climb?

It's like guess how many Jelly Beans are in the Jar

Maybe we could apply some sort of Math

Altitude diference: 1,885m
Distance to summit: 26km

I will guess one cyclist every 3 metres. Thus 26000/3 = 8666 Cyclists attempting the climb

The return trip back down looks so much more fun. Know where is the single track?

This is the Stelvio Pass - Northern Italy - one of the highest in Alps..

My brother with family is holidaying there right now.. =)

The cyclists crawling up the mountain remind me of the ants in my backyard when it's about to rain Laughing out loud

Good point - reminds me how extremely fortunate we are here - plenty of space whether it's a golden beach, a majestic singletrack or.. a prison.. =) (crosses himself just in case)
