Day 7 - passo di gaiu

We checked out of our hotel and headed to another little gem at the base of passo Di gaiu.

We left passo falzerengo for the back side of the huge peaks we have awed over for the last three days.

The weather has been nothing but spectacular with clear skies, puffy clouds and days that probably reach mid 60s, which is perfect when you are climbing.

Today was a short 30K day with 3500 feet of climbing and magnificent climbing up the back of Giau and it 29 turns (each numbered) reaching the heavens or just 2233 meters.

Back at the hotel with the most wonderful decent, we pause for dinner at a local gem.

Yes another amazing day in the dolomites. Tomorrow we head for Verona and our winery stay for a week.

Here is the Profiile of this climb featured in the 2007 Giro!
