Today we decided to brave the weather. You go to Riva del Garda. During the drive I get the call from Tony telling me that they give package. Simon sent me a message and tells me that he is not 'yet healed. Marco and I remain. In Verona rains. Proceed to Rovereto and the weather improves. A Riva's not cold. There 's low fog but no rain. E 'already' a success. You go. Ponale and 'always a show. Too bad that Lake did not see much of a girlfriend '. Take the path to Lake Ledro. Around there 'no. Even Ledro all the premises are closed. We begin the ascent of Rampiledro. Now a catch. A slab of frozen snow in the most 'pending. Mark slips and comes towards me with his bike! Fortunately slows and leans slightly to my legs. We risk the Strike! We climb on foot, about 100 meters and then back to the forest free of snow! Dry Land! You climb with slopes ranging from 10 to 24%. Every so often point us to bring breath but then starts to climb. The only three cars of the day we find them on this road! We continue our climb to the achievements of the past. We finally arrive at the mouth Fortini after passing the deadly turns cemented. We decided to go to the hut that there 'in Step Note but we have to give up. There 's snow and ice it' s too dangerous. Let us return then to our track. We decide to stop at Baita Rye. Outside, the area equipped for picnics, have ignited a fire. I decided to go inside the hut to see if there 'something to drink and I find in one of two climbers and their wives. We are welcomed in with them. Fireplace, eat warm. I take a beer to put the money in the box. Here 's all self. We have to dry the sweaty stuff and eat. Since we did not hurry Marco takes the Moka and prepare a good coffee '. Entertainment. It seems to me to relive one of those advertising 'Glen Grant type or Nescafe'. The mountain with emotions! Starting over. Continuing on our Guil path crosses the pass and from here we reach the Passo Rocchetta after a short walk (50 meters and no more '). Under normal conditions, from here you can 'enjoy a magnificent panorama of the lake today is not' so '. But for us, 'already' a success. It never rains ... and not cold! Down with the saddle .... It is for the technical section of the 422. I go down quietly waiting for Mark (which, moreover, and 'improved significantly down !)... there are only two I do not want anything to happen. Some went so funny passage 'to the forest. Marco has the front and do not feel like making him the second leg of the 422 (much more 'technically the first). We follow 'the forest until Palaer Hut and down' till Pregasina. Here we take the path that brings us back to a series of Ponale Street. As usual, we love to play with the banks and the banks raised. A tank on the lake and we arrive at the parking lot after 40 km and 1400 meters in altitude. All this for 4 hours of riding. There's change and there 's also the time to eat a sandwich and drink a good beer. Thanks to Marco for the excellent company. MY PHOTOS HERE
