• The north side of the Gavia was a TCR parcours last year. It's a fairly straightforward climb. Nicely graded and pleasant views.

    The descent down the south side was extremely beautiful, but a bit hairy as the road surface is iffy in places, and it was dark by the time I got down. Hard to judge without doing it, but I got the idea that the climb up from the South would have been a lot harder.

  • It is. It’s a lot longer and noticeably steeper.

    The descent of the southern side is hair-raising with a sheer drop of a few thousand feet on the right. I guess you wouldn’t have noticed that in the dark though!
