Sadly not. I was staying in Varenna (on lake Como) with the missus and she only let me have 1 day off. It was a 2hr+ drive just to get up to Bormio....the drive back after was a real pain in the arse.
I stopped about 2 hairpins before the Pantani monument on the Mortirolo and swore for a solid minute.
I'd definitely do Gavia again - it's a truly glorious climb.
