No harm having a day off the bikes. Good planning to have the car along

It being weekend we did not want to go up the high passes - teeming with wannabe Vale’s, pushing like mad.
So we opted to do our Monday ride reversed.
We stopped again at the covered bridge.
Next stop Passo di Lavazè, altitude 1.808 metres.
Then on to the Passo Costalunga (1.753 mtrs), from which we turned onto the Passo Nigra (1.688 mtrs) where we stopped for refreshments.
Back up and down from there, onto the Costalunga again and home.
Great ride in great weather.

A nice route today, a bit further South from where we are, avoiding the Sunday crowds on the high passes.
The road you see in the ridge opposite is where we rode earlier.
Definitely wine country:
Todays ride, 100 miles.

Can you be trusted with naked flames and sharp knives? 
Passed your lake (Karersee ?) on the way in this afto, amazingly looks just like your photos.

Today I had a route for 4 passes prepared. First the Passo Rolle, which was gorgeous.
Unfortunately the road up to the second pass, the Campolonga, was closed today.
So we were forced to head back via Passo Fedaia.
We stopped there and had lunch before riding home.
Still a nice enough ride.
