Hello,
In the year of 2012 I participated in a great cycling event, brevet that was organised on Monte Grappa (1775 m), a legendary mountain of Italy, where I recorded video. By this event the cyclists can climb the mountain 2-3-4-5 times in a day. An ascent means ca. 1500-1600 m heightdifference and 2-3 of them has 13-15-20% steep sections. The landscape is a mixture of rocks mountainsides, friendly meadows and there are great views to the plain.
This event day was one of my most memorable cycling day and I finished the day after 261 kms + 7241 m heightdifference.
The video can be reached here:

In the following weeks I will write a travelogue too and I will post it too
In my youtube channel you can find cycletouring videos about more than 130 paved ascents of the Alps, Pyrenées and Canary islands going above 2000 m :

Or the list of all of the climbs that I cycled - with videolinks: http://www.gyorgyigabor.hu/GYG_osszes_hago.php
You can find here the searched climb based on its name or its height.

really enjoyed that - well done - those climbs looked brutal - but what a reward to stop and see para gliding - and what beautiful views - chapeau
Oh and over here 13 degrees celsius is positively summer weather. The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -
Thanks,
Yes, for me it's important to enjoy these days too, not to hurry to much without looking around. Few minutes to stop and enjoy views during eating, snacking is good.
I did the same by Ötztaler radmarathon in the year of 2010. In few weeks time I will upload that video too
Best regards,
