Vinadio-Vinadio "Gran Fondo"

Vertical climb: 4690 m
Distance: 160 km

Very interesting way of spending your Sunday, if you happen to live near the Alps.
We were 8 riders and we had a car following us to make sure everybody could get back home alive. :-)
The view was amazing, we climbed the second mountain on the highest paved road in Europe.
I never got the pics from the "official photographer", so I only got a few I took myself while riding.

I hope this will convince some of you that if you bring your bike this could be a really nice place for your vacation. :-)

Even more pictures. And a map.
I took no pictures on the third mountain because I was no longer able to hold my camera.
Anyway, that was the "Colle della Maddalena", I think I posted pictures of it before.
