I read all the posts about cycling in the Dolomites and immediately forwarded them to my fellows. I have been there last summer for 10 days, enjoyed every second and dreamed of returning ever since. But this time, with a triple crankset - the compact is just not enugh for me, and my knees. Thank you for confirming that the Auronzo - Tre Cime climb is so difficult :) I found it brutal: somewhere in the middle section I started to laugh when realizing how pathetic I was: 4-5 kmph @ 25 RPM! Do you know if (some) of the passes (Falzarego, Giau, the ones in Sella Ronda) are open in winter too? I'd love to come cycle in December-January, dressed up Himalaya style.. Thank you!

I felt like I was right there, and it left me wanting to finally get myself a road bike and go find some passes to climb. If only the Dolomites were closer! And Dan/Janine, that last photo is fantastic. Great story, Alex, very well written.

I rode the Duran and Giau last sunday at the Granfondo DolomitiStars 135 km with over 3000 m. diff. in altitude. As you "tasted" the asphalt on the Sella, I had to do it on the Giau downhill, but still finished 25th overall. Wonderful story from Alex.
