my video:Monte Grappa challenge (261km+ 7241m) great cycling event, legendary ascents

[gyorgyigabor]

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.

Best regads,

Beautiful. Nice job with the video. What's the name of the lovely town you started in?

I guess they started from Bassano del Grappa?

Gabor, glad to hear you liked the event.
I didnt take part myself but as I live in that area I know that climb fairly well, althought dont do it so often.

) Yes it was a great event; friendly. The nature is also beautiful, so super for those who like calm ascent and nature and they can enjoy an event without 2-3-4000 cyclists.

Best regards,
