Yes, it's upside down because we had to scan it that way. You can
print it out. The picture on page 36 is pretty darn cool, but I guess
Lisa will kill me if I tried to find something like that.

We'll rule out doing anything but Es on the tandem. It looks like
there's a potential RS route L76 (pg. 73) that gets us out of Bormio
into Livigno "Rough but mostly rideable jeep track". It's only a ++,
but Mike & I did Col du Parpillon which was "only" a +++, and that was
stunning.

Yeah, I think Col de Parpaillon is a strong contender for the
prettiest ride I've ever done.

Also Parpaillon had a mix of surfaces from easy

The climb wasn't bad but the descent was slow :

I've flipped all the pages and merged everything into one file. (Yay
for Preview on Mac.) But unfortunately the file size increased
slightly so Groups doesn't want to host it. So it's here:
