Cycling Malga Palazzo - Besenello - Via Scanuppia

After failing in the prior year (dismounted twice) it was finally accomplished.

Cycling all the way along the Via Scanuppia to the Malga Palazzo in Besenello without dismounting.

Words can´t describe the unbelievable experience. Attached please find some impressions and action. I can only recommend to quickly visit this ultimate shrine of cycling!

Is 1.30 hours enough to make the climb? The way should be dangerous! Is not? The road is made of cement or tar? I think is a dream for any rider to be in this place. Near from my house in Tavira (Algarve-Portugal) the max inclination i have found is 17% just for more than 100 meters

Hi,

1:30 is enough; the hardest part is driven in 35 mins. The road is made of liquid cement. It is indeed the heavan on earth. The way is not dangerous uphill but downhill you really have to be alert. Very important is that you have enough air pressure because the tire tends to move on the rim and then suddenly the air is gone! This can be crucial on the step part - so better go by feet...

Hi! thanks, but how long is exactly this hardest part you refered? I was asking about the time for all the climb, not for just a part.

[54Sofia54]

That´s´why I wrote that 1:30 is enough ;-). The figure is pretty close for the overall climb if you drive slowly.

inhuman climb

[bamzat]

it should be part of the giro d' italia next year... Contador and scarponi should try this...

That's a heart attack job. Man I have to get fit again I can barely walk up the stairs! I used to be strong as an ox! :)

eso es sobrehumano, el ciclismo profesional no puede llegar hasta esos límites pero sería una pasada poder ver una etapa en el Giro

nice! amazing acomplishment! I'd really like to do it one time too

Carrying 93 kilos of body weight up this climb makes it doubly tough. Awesome climb dude. Love the video, thanks for posting it.
