I hope you don't mind a slight thread hijack but the information has been super helpful for a trip I'm planning in the summer and I wondered if I could draw on everyone's experience.
I'm doing the Duomo-Stelvio sportive in July from Milan to Stelvio. Its 230km and 3400m climbing so a decent day out. Unfortunately I'll need to head back to Milan pretty promptly rather than stick around. Was thinking about staying in Bormio then riding Gavia to Edolo the next day. Then if I've got the legs go over Passo Aprica to Tirano. That looks like 95km and 2000m climbing which feels doable.
Then either take the train back to Milan or ride back if I have enough time off.
Does all that sound vaguely sensible? Any better routes without adding too much extra climbing as think my legs will be quite toasted.
