I don't know if you have a similar thing in the States, but in Italy, any respectable rider puts as many mountain passes on his riding curriculum as possible - it's the equivalent of pilots putting stars on their planes for all the enemy bogies they've taken down

So here goes my first one: Passo della Presolana in the Alps, about an hour a half away from where I live. Not too high, in feet it's like 4000 feet, but it's the closest one to home so it's the easiest one to get to



I had actually intended to hit 2 yesterday, but the second one was closed, it's still snowed in! I thought I'd post the "evidence" of my attempt up anyway
