It was a long weekend. Leonie and I drove to Italy on Thursday evening arriving before dark and finding Markus and Angela in Prato, S\u00fcd Tirol. On Friday, Markus, Leonie, and I jumped on our road bikes and road slowly up Stelvio Pass in the heat. My heart rate was still higher than it normally is but I was pleased to make it to the top. We grabbed a bite to eat at a restaurant a little further away from the bulk of the crowds. Then we descended via Umbrail Pass and completed the loop back to Prato. We had a nice descent and a fun ride back in hot and reasonably windy conditions.<\/p>\n

On Saturday Leonie and I drove into the hills a bit and walked up to the D\u00fcsseldorfer H\u00fctte where we stayed the night and drank hot chocolates while a storm came through.<\/p>\n

On Sunday we walked back to the car via a 3200 m high peak named Sch\u00f6neck. There was a little bit of scrambling and walking in snow but not too much. It was even warm enough to stand in T-shirts and shorts at the summit.<\/p>\n

\"Ready<\/a>\"Heading<\/a><\/p>\n

Above left: Leonie and I drove down to South Tirol on Thursday evening and met Angela and Markus there. Markus, Leonie, and I rode up Stelvio Pass on Saturday morning and returned via the valley on the other side. It was toasty warm and a good ride. I managed ok after my operation but my heart rate was higher than normal. Above right: It was a long ascent.<\/p>\n

\"At<\/a>\"At<\/a><\/p>\n

Above left: But we managed some posing at the summit. Above right: Of course we had to bag Umbrail pass too.<\/p>\n

\"View<\/a>\"More<\/a><\/p>\n

Above left: On Saturday Leonie and I walked up to the D\u00fcsseldorfer H\u00fctte and stayed the night there. It stormed a bit after lunch so we hid in the hut. Above right: On Sunday we headed back down via a mountain on the way. The weather was fantastic and there was nobody around, just some inquisitive sheep.<\/p>\n

Above left: Some posing was done. Above right: Some bashing through patches of snow was required.<\/p>\n

\"At<\/a>\"At<\/a>\"View<\/a><\/p>\n

Above left: But we made it to the top. Above middle: And the top was Sch\u00f6neck at 3129 m. Extremely warm considering how high we were. Above right: We walked back down to the valley and drove back to Lindau.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
