For our second "rest" day in Bormio, we climbed the Stelvio. As with yesterday, basically up then back an HC climb (http://app.strava.com/activities/18593498). 36 switchbacks, all numbered with the elevation, so it was nice to get to the last one:
A look back at some of the turns:
An indication of the grade at one point:
Finally made it to the top, where it was a zoo with lots of riders coming up from both sides, motorcycles, stores, etc:
Had to fight traffic on the way down; the hairpins and skinny tunnels were a challenge. Overall a great day, and we got back fairly early for a nice outside pizza lunch with a couple bottles of Rosé.
