Monte Zoncolan Bike Ride

One of Italy's hardest climbs Monte Zoncolan is located in the Friuli Venezia region just north of Udine.  The climb is a must do for anyone who loves challenging routes.  This is a very difficult climb and can be made harder depending on how many km you put into your legs before getting to the base.

The climb officially starts after this right turn.

The sign is perhaps closer to the average grade the max % of incline on this climb is 22%.

This is the summit

The last section is just after the two tunnels.  The view and enviorment of the climb changes greatly after the tunnels and you only have a few ramps to go.

Enjoy your off season by training.
