October 11, 2024,Giro in bici da gravel verso Belvedere

That was the most dangerous, exhilarating, technical descent I have ever done on a road bike in 50 years of cycling. Basically sliding and fishtailing down a steep descent on a donkey track with 1000 ft drop into valley below at side, no barriers on loose gravel and wheel buckling rocks!
