Toscolano Moderna to Riva del Garda

21 Jun

The ride today was one of the best yet. We rode along the shores of the lake, through many tunnels (up to 2.4 kms long) and a side trip up the James Bond road. This is a road used to film the beginning of the movie “Quantum of Solace”. It’s a steep switchback type road that winds it’s way up the side of a sheer cliff to a small town with several areas that hang out over the mountain to give you an amazing view of the entire area. The road itself is also very fun to ride with natural tunnels, waterfalls, forest and streams. Definitely a highlight. After the climb we had a free ride down into Riva.

A lot of tunnels so we are well lit and reflective

It’s getting a bit tight, luckily very little traffic

A lot of vertical and very little horizontal
