Hi everybody

I am going to the Stelvio Pass in Italy later this year and want to know if any of you are up for it???
Ride to Dover and cross to france, then sleep where we stop, no plans, just take a tent just in case we cant find a place to stay, this is my second trip and am looking for riders who want to see some of the best roads europe can offer.

Can't go this year as we're going to the Augverne and Millau but planning to the Stelvio next year. Be sure to post some photos when you get back.

Don't want to rain on your parade, but there's a good chance the Stelvio will still be closed at the start of June. There is a good depth of snowpack this year, so it might be mid to late June before the pass is open. Plenty of the lower passes to have a run at though!
