I descended carefully down the bumpy and damaged road surface (road works had been going on though) and got back to Ovaro where I had started, at 530 alt. m. And now it was time for "The Hell" - Monte Zoncolan (1730 alt. m)! 1200 m of alt difference in just 10 km's, with the middle 6 km's averaging at over 15% and even with sections of 20% and 22% incline! The climb is a killer on its own, let alone after two hard climbs leading to it.
