The last episode of our multi-sport adventure holiday in the Dolomites was two days of rock climbing some of the classics in the area. As I do not yet lead rock, and Terry has never multi-pitched or climbed outside much, we decided to hire a guide for the two days.
Part two of our multi-sport adventure holiday involved three days of cycling along the mountainous, traffic-filled roads of the Dolomites. My wonderful Twitter friend Dan Patitucci (@dolomitesport, @PatitucciPhoto), offered to take us on an "intro to mountain passes of the Dolomites" ride. Given that Dan used to be a semi-professional cyclist in Europe, we knew his casual day was going to resemble our version of a big day out.
Terry and I, along with what seems like the rest of Italy, are spending 8 days recreating in the Alta Badia region of the Italian Dolomites. In order to experience everything the Dolomites have to offer, we decided to enjoy a trifecta of activities during the trip, including hiking, cycling, and rock climbing.
