[QUOTE="Cello II, post: 587213, member: 6923"] Thanks for your support! It is going to be a great once-in-a-lifetime ride. :yahoo: I need some of your input on two specific long day rides that I have planned. Perhaps some of you are familiar with these roads. Let me preface my question with letting you know that I am the turkey who rode 50 passes in Colorado in the 4 days before NAFO last year. I also set a personal best with 33 passes in CA within 24 hours last June (1263 miles). So I am no stranger to long days. But these roads are very different from those in the West. My question is this: Is it impossible to do this 542km day in 15 hours? Merano, Bolzano, Karer, Pellegrino, Valles, Rolle, Cereda, Aurine, Duran, Staulanza, Piau, Falzarego, Valparola, Gardena, Sella, Pordoi, Campolongo, Wurz Joch, Furka Sattel, Staller Sattel, Fr.Joseph Str., Thurn Pass, and end up in Kitzbuhel? And it falls on a Sunday! I've done lots of steep switchbacks, but never with this kind of intensity. Can one average 40 kph in the steep stuff? My other long day follows the previous one. Kitzbuhel, Grossglockner, Gailbergsatte, Plockenpass, Forcella Luis, Carson di Lanza,Nassfeldpass, Kreutzberg, Nachalmstr. Tamsweg, Schoder, Solkpass, Liezen, Hengstpass, Buchersattel, Bad Aussee, Halstatt, Gschutt, Bischofshofen, Dientener Passe, and back to Kitzbuhel. I estimate it to be 826km, and if I start at 0530, I might return by 2130 with only a short meal somewhere. Again. The question is, can one do this (legally!)? I'm not explecting comfort.....probably not more than two 10 minute breaks all day. There is just too much to see and do in too short a time!! I realize that if I leave out the Plockenpass/Nassfeld loop, I will have only 681 kms and can relax and enjoy the day. Your thoughts are appreciated. Sorry I can't join you guys in Canada this year.
