    Dolomites are always good

    Great pics.

    I've done the Sella Ronda a couple times on skis. Love that superski pass...

    Thanks, I wanted to see what Val Gardena looks like in the summer. I was there a few years ago snowboarding and there were a lot of inviting trails peeking out on the south facing slopes. I must return for a summer visit.

    oh that just hurts. I have been there many times in the winter to ski, as my mother-in-law grew up there (predazzo) and there is a family house.

    i was supposed to fly there yesterday for a 2 month stay, my first time there in the summer, but our daughter has medical issues that keep us home in the USA. we had to cancel our tickets.

    seeing those pics just bums me out a bit. oh well. could be worse.

    i have skiied the sella ronda many times. i did an awesome backcountry ski trip last new years eve down the marmolada. i have skiied passo pordoi and always wanted to do the 4 passes on a road bike like you have done. are those the palle di san martino in the background?

    that is a beautiful area. hopefully next summer... i can almost taste the porcini mushrooms and puzzone di moena cheese.

    please post more summertime pics if you have them.

    Hi, I am back in Predazzo this month with my mtb, in case anyone on MTBR is here. Looking to find some good singletrack, I have been riding the strade bianche. Did giro di latemar yesterday.
    Any info on Val di Fassa, Val di Fiemme singletrack would be appreciated. Thanks!! Send a PM if you reply, so I am sure not to miss it.
