Italy Dolomites, Tue Sep 20, 2022

         


I'm currently building a bathroom so little details like how the mirror is set into the tile are interesting to me

Ahh, so Burro isn't meat from a kind of horse after all.

4° this morning, chilly, glad for heated hand grips and some engine heat

Mama and baby goat found a warm place

Ss294 is 30 km of the most beautiful forest road in Italy.

crystal clear, blue skies. What a day!

back and forth, up the mountains

beware of when the hydro facility suddenly releases a bunch of water into this stream





lots of these carved tree stumps in this forest

Man I LOVE THESE ROADS!

these carvings are everywhere along this road, sp294 Strada Provinciale 294 de la Val di Scalve

these blind corners are really interesting when a logging truck is coming around the corner

It's so damn clear today!

Passo del Vivione





another favorite picture

The day has warmed up to a very pleasant 17°

more logs

luge or taboggan run? or something else

Oh Yeah!

beyond the perfect day

Make. More. Cheese.

a bitchin' slot canyon with a road carved into the rock walls on either side of a river

Ravine of Val Taleggio / Orrido della Val Taleggio

small hydro facility humming with the sound of turbines

Got ivy?

looking down into Bellano on Lago di Como

Waiting for the ferry across to Menagio, €8

I have a ticket for the 3:35 to Menaggio

A big tour group joining me on the ferry

stopped to grab some meds that I left behind at a hotel a few days ago

Saw this bike shop and stopped to ask about DSS error and if maybe they could wash up the Multistrada before I give it back to Joe. He had some advice about DSS (said it is usually rear shock) and sent me to his friend's shop down the road

This is Wild Garage, 500m down the road. This guy gave me priority service, looked for a broken wire (not found) and washed the bike, checked tire pressure, oil level, etc. €40 cheap! Out of there in under 30 minutes.

these wires all look OK

12 gears on one hub

cleaning the bike and lubing the chain

all shiny!

Lugano on Lago di Lugano, even though I'm in Switzerland, everybody is speaking Italian

today was 233 km. Tomorrow I head back to Zug.
