I have learned that when you're on a bike trip, complications happen. Today, I was hoping to take everyone up your mt Cristalo, aka bridge of death, and to Lago sorapis. Woke up to fog and rain, a closed chairlift, and uncooperative bus schedule. So...we all (not Donna - off on her new bike to paso giao) got on the tram with our bikes, up to faloria. The fog lifted, the rain stopped, and down we went. Mostly steep forest road, with some single track, and we all walked part of it, but that brought us down to a short climb to the lake hike. A new definition of beyond impossible solved.
The lake hike was great - through the woods, alongside a cliff, a bit of climbing, and ending at a freezing cold glacial lake. Only thing to do now was swim, and Bruce stepped up to raucous cheers. Then a fast 6 km ride back to Cortina (60 kph for jason), and headed down the bike path (detour for Jon to old house, and mtb trail by the piazones lake & river). An easy downhill ride through the Cadore region, with lots of tunnels, ending in a steep climb to Pieve. A late shabbat dinner, ending with a limoncella. 47km
