Beautiful April morning with hundreds of bike riders on Via Pedemontane. At Rugulo I weaved through a crowd coming out of church and continued on to Montaner. I turned right on Via Guitcillo da Montanara and started suffering up the precipice. I made it all the way up without stopping but I was too tired to celebrate. Soon the dirt road turns to a grass path, which ends by a stone house. Here you push the bike up over boulders to a deer stand in a clearing and then scramble up an embankment onto a gravel road. Unfortunately the Garmin screen was tapped by some of the tangled branches and paused the track. I blithely continued on my way but no navigation data was being collected. Not to worry though, I have the track from this exact route from a couple of years. If you need to plan your route it's here: Via-Guitcillo-da-Montanara
After some sali/scendi I arrived at the highway from Vittorio Veneto to Cansiglio. After a few hundred meters I turned off pavement again on the road to Col Oliver. This eventually connects to Strada dei Patriarchi and then the highway from Cansiglio to Caneva/Sarone. Great ride.
