Never been there.
Stunning scenery but if you really look at the road, the bends appear too tight to carry any appreciable speed which usually makes for a tiring ride wrestling the bike through every curve.
Of course i could be all wrong.

Pushbikes....
I hate pushbikes.
I apologize to all of you who ride them.
But they are always, always , always in the way in the mountains and what's worse they act as if they own the road.
Over here most won't mind blocking you by riding two wide if they are going downhill.
Made more irritating by them looking round at you several times and still not moving over.

I find getting up really close to them at 8k rpms or better tends to move them out of the way in a hurry.
Sometimes they just need reminding who has the biggest tires, the biggest brakes, and the biggest bxlls.
That's right!!! Move over!!!!



Thanks I feel better now.
I'll get me coat.

thats the whole point about the stelvio is the switchbacks.

i dont mind people on pushbikes as i have the power to overtake within seconds, its when you get a continuous stream of them that i fear for their life's due to if i have to make a manoeuvrer for oncoming traffic. its not me that will get killed and i dont particularly want the death of someone else on my conscience.
