Wouldn’t you love to wake up in the morning and ride to one of the 10 most difficult roads in the World? I mean what could be better in the morning than this road?
I’ve been in the area for the last couple of years, but never got to do Stelvio up until this year; it’s been said to me “don’t worry, go see the other things, you’ll surely do Stelvio at some points because any rider should do Stelvio at some point in their life”. And there were the stories how often there are crashes over there (we had 2 crashes from our group alone on the way up) and there it is, I had an anxious “can’t wait to get there” feeling in that morning.
I had to take this picture:
it was on my to do list and I couldn’t have it any other way. 26 minutes of joy going up” (yes, it includes waiting for a red light, but I didn’t cut the video so you could participate to the entire excitement and feeling).

and 25 minutes on the way down:

Then, of course, if you didn’t get enough of Stelvio, you could do it the other way around: going up from Bormeo:
