It was a wonderful day of biking. The Mendel Pass was closed to motor vehicles all day Saturday. Great! This makes cycling fun. This should be introduced in Switzerland too.😁🙃🤣

Today the Mendel pass road was closed to traffic. A great experience, especially since the weather played along despite snow up to about 2000m and a strong north wind. There are always fantastic views of the Dolomites, Lake Caldaro and Bolzano.
