We have Phil Deeker of Rapha Cent Cols fame to thank for this, after we spotted some amazing photos on social media a couple of years ago, and also having watched Ray Meares’ ” Wild France” programme on TV. The region was described as being tranquil with a spectacular landscape; mountains, gorges and limestone plateaus.
A classic ride out on this sportive based route. The official route starts in Corvara, taking on Passos Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena, returning to Corvara, a second ascent of the Campolongo, on to Passo Giau.
I’ve cycled this route now several times, raced up it and sped down it. I’ve spent time in these mountains and they hold my heart, with their beauty. I know that you’ll love this road too – so lets go and climb it!
Luciana Prados is our Brazilian triathlete and writer; she’s been busy testing this stylish one piece time trial and tri cycling kit from Italian brand, Rosti.
