Passo dello Stelvio – Day 4 / The Boss Fight

Well. This was the toughest thing I’ve ever done in my life. So far, at least.

At the time I didn’t realize it, but the upcoming days definitely confirmed it: I was coming down with a cold while doing this monumental ride. I was struggling at the switchbacks above 2000m. I actually had to stop at the 14th corner, as I nearly passed out.

But in any case, this was one of the most epic rides ever, and bombing down on the Swiss side felt mesmerizing. The whole descent turned into a silent movie, as I couldn’t hear anything ’cause the coughing sickness went after my ears.

Thankfully, the day after was a chill, short ride day anyway. Stay tuned.
