Follow up,
Just to follow up my post about dad´s garage, and his plans with the infamous Monte zonclan, we ended up with another of the worst ones instead. Passo delle radichi is one of the hardest climbs ive ever done. Its about 13 km long but has 10 % from the foot in Castelnouvo and never gives you a break. I looked down on my backshifter about 200 times to see if i had on more gear to give in, but no,,,When you got 800 meters up, it gets worse,,,the deadly 18 % sign and you look into a wall. After being punished for 45 minuttes and your legs and your body are screaming , this is the last sign you want to see. I have taken the climb 2 times before so i knew there was a chance that the old man on sixtythree wouldnt make it,,but after waiting only 10 minutes he came up,
