Did you ride the regular road over the pass? Was it okay traffic wise, i kinda remember it as a transit pass, at least up to the tunnel. I also remember seeing capricorns up there. My parents always drove this pass or tunnel to italy with us kids. I furthermore remember my mothers 'oh my, look at these poor cyclist struggling their way up the pass'.

Intersting looking tent. You like it?

I rode the cycle path and footpath as far as possible but it all got super steep and wet and I was so tired. So from the tunnel I did the old road, and it was a like a raceway. Horrible. Also steep. It’s a tarptent pro-trail in sil-poly. It’s great if you don’t mind worming in and out. I like it a lot but the duplex I have is in every respect (except packsize and weight) more practical.
