Giorno Nove
We woke up to partial sunshine once again, so after breakfast we hopped on our bikes and headed up the Passo Campolongo (which starts right outside our hotel). After climbing to the top (pretty short - only a couple of miles of climbing), we dropped down to Arabba and took a left turn towards the Falzarego. The Falzarego was a longer climb (maybe 12k or so), and really, wasn't even the top. Once we got to the top we took another left and rode to the top of the Passo di Valparola which was a km or 2 up the road. We stopped at the top of the Falzarego for a hot chocolate and to check out the view. Unfortunately our cameras aren't doing the views justice because of the clouds and overcast skies. There was a cool tram at the top of the Falzarego that went almost straight up - You'd have to pay me a lot to go up on that thing.
My GPS has been screwing up elevations a bit (I think the cloudy skies are the culprit), so I am not attaching the elevation graph - but it was a 31 mile ride, with about 4200ft of climbing.
