After Eurobike 2018 Ray and I headed south for a few kms on the bike. First up (and I really mean UP!) the Stelvio Pass. At 24km / 8% from Prato - it was a solid day out with some amazing views and magnificent descending.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures. They brought back the memory of last fall when I celebrated my rebirth with my racing bike six weeks after a cancer surgery with a ride on the Stelvio. At the time, I had tears in my eyes after the ride and thanked fate that the surgery was successful. Because I was pretty tired I did not have much pictures at the time. Thank you for the wonderful pictures.

@superluvver3 4 года назад

Once you conquer the stelvio by bike you can do anything,so mind expanding. I broke my back due to a car running into me from behind.after surgery it was hard ,everyone said i couldnt do it due to weight,age and injury but i proved myself wrong and then went and did zoncolan and mortirolo,so never say never,never give up,you are way stronger than you think!

@TomSchillemans 4 года назад

This is actually my very first climb I did EVER. Took me 3 hours and 21 minutes on a mountainbike. I had just started cycling at that point and was afraid I couldn't handle the proper road cycle gearing with the larger front sprockets. I remember having to pee and while we were doing it another boy with his dad passed us. We got back on the bikes, passed them before the next hairpin and we didn't see them until after we got to the top, ate something at the restaurant there and started to get down again. This will always be the climbs I love the most! I definitely want to do it again on a road bike!

The place and the shots look gorgeous! Thanks for making the effort to capture and share this with us instead of just focusing on enjoying it! You should get an award for your epilogues! You expressed some reservations about the traffic in one of your previous videos but it didn't seem too bad in this one. Would you say it's something to be concerned about for a first-time would-be Stelvio conqueror?

@gplama 6 лет назад

The traffic was ok on this day/side. Our descent was even better on the Swiss side.

@AC-wq7fo 5 лет назад

Sept 11 2019. From Prato - road was closed, then got opened as we set off. It was such a beautiful day it actually got warmer as we made elevation. The biggest thing i noticed was the friendliness of everyone going up and descending: cars, bikes and bikers. It's such an enormous feat, that it really does bring out the best in people. The top is very cold, and I got 79.1kmh descending! Take clothing, eat and drink - do not mess with this beast. Oh - the Zoncolan is harder. Much, much harder. But Stelvio, is a major accomplishment.

@gamma_dablam 4 года назад

Half the length but way steeper. Especially the Ovaro and Priola climbs

It's amazing how seeing all the beautiful Stelvio scenery brings back awesome memories of my ride on that road and how good I felt when I got to the top. Yet... I only ever 'rode' it on a trainer, following a Tacx video, and never in real life! What a strange world we live in these days.

@elidouek5438 6 лет назад

2:50 the song says "there's room for everyone". Immediately after, ray has two cars pass him *safely* around a hairpin bend. going back to the quote in the song. Europe has clearly understood this, and when you can see this understanding on the Stelvio Pass, you know it can work anywhere. Meanwhile in Australia: You can't finish saying the word "cyclist" before people start losing their fu*king minds. (got abused 3 times on my 4km ride to school. Salty as hell about it)

Great climb. It is one of my "one to do". One question. Did you have a 50/34 in front and a up to 32 in the rear? If not. What did did have?

@gplama 4 года назад

I can’t recall the gearing... I believe it was a compact or semi-compact. No more than a 28 on the back.

@SaqerAlKhalifa 6 лет назад

I did the stelvio from Prato just like you a couple of weeks ago and came down same way. Do you wish you did the same or was the Swiss way down epic!
