Shorter ride today, 24 miles with 830 meters of climbing up to La Berade for lunch. Brilliant descent but go-pro missed it! :banghead:

Down before the thunderstorm hit

Enjoy Stelvio - I can highly recommend the hot chocolate from the bar on the right at the summit. Also take some euros or a card and get yourself a Stelvio jersey from the cycling shack at the top - you'll have earned it

I intend to get a Stelvio Gran Fondo one, to match my bike

Tomorrow will be wearing my Wales top as usual for a big ride.
