Definitely up for Torino-Nice this year, just need to build a mountain here in Norfolk to train on, or go back to a diet of leg presses and riding the turbo with the friction far too high..

That road in those conditions, is a very scary prospect.

That isn't the same road, to be clear : ) Pretty crazy to have driven that. It's in Nepal, where they look to have far better quality roadside barriers than parts of Italy... :lol:

I wouldn't ride the death road in heavy rain. The rockfall risk is too high. There's steep slabs right above the road and there's a lot of rubble and junk on top of those slabs -
