21 Cycling Climbs Part Two - Flipbook - Page 130
The Stelvio is military.
Straight back, heavy boots marching in step
up a black hard, unforgiving road.
Strong men built this road, muscles bulging,
orders given, orders taken, precise,
disciplined, impeccable, definite.
Limitations set, adhered to, relished even. An
arduous but accepted task.
This road has stood the test of time.
Nothing else will suffice.
