Hello,
In the year of 2012 I participated in a great cycling event, brevet ( Monte Grappa challenge ) 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 rocky mountainsides, friendly meadows and there are great views to the plain.
This 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:
