Some photos from a 10 day bike trip I did from Salzburg, Austria, to Treviso, Italy. It was 578km and 11,572m elevation gain!

Camped for 6 days (4 wild camp sites, 2 serviced), 2 nights in a refugio (mountain hut), and 2 nights in a hostel at the end in Treviso.

I brought my via ferrata gear which doesn't really take up much room to do some hiking and climbing. So glad I did, it added so much to the trip and it would be a shame not to put my years of indoor bouldering time to good use in the Dolomites!

The bike is a heavily modified Brompton. Weighs about 8.5kg, 15 speeds, 466% gear range, front disc brake, rear caliper (to keep the internal gear hub for the gear range). As to why this bike? I built this as my do everything bike and it's pretty much the only bike I ride.

Any other questions, let me know!

I made a few videos on the trip covering days 1-6 so far!
