28 : Davos Dorf - Susch ( Flüelapass ) (Switzerland)September 1, 2008Another pass that should not be missed. Links beautifully to the ofenpass if you are heading further South 28 : Zemez - Müstair ( Ofenpass ) (Switzerland)September 1, 2008This route is phenomenal, you can ride at a pace to suit yourself, no nasty surprises so long as you read the road ahead and be ready for the unforseeable. There is an excellent shop / restaurant at the top where the cyclists load up with carbohydrates. Links well to the Stelvio pass if you take a right at Santa Maria. Well worht going out of your way to do this one. Gavin Nyon - La Cure (Switzerland)September 1, 2008I happened across this route by chance and what a find! The first 8 miles to Saint Cerque are absolutely fabulous, if only the IOM TT had bends and surfaces like this! Passo di Mortirolo : Mazzo di Valtellina - Monno (Italy)September 1, 2008I made a big mistake with this route, so be warned so as not to repeat. The problem is where the route starts, i.e. not on a major route. When I got close I told my satnav (zumo) to joint this route that I had downloaded from here. What it has done I think is take me from that position to somewhere along the route using the shortest route and ignoring the beginning ( I made the wrong choice to define the start). Where it started me from was N46 14.513 E10 14.721 Unless your are riding solo on a GS or real trail bike, do not take this. It led up some beautiful single track roads with stunning scenery, but there were miles of really rocky passes. Im okay off-raod but was getting seriously concerned at times a> with what lay ahead and b> with the possibility of damaging a tyre and rim on the R1150RT with fully laden panniers, tent etc. Anyway, all part of lifes rich tapestry!
