Epic Camp Italy Day 2 🇮🇹
This was always going to be the monster day on the bike and it delivered. The climb up Monte Zoncolan is widely regarded as one of the toughest in Italy, and we didn’t make it easy on ourselves. A 90km ride to the base over multiple climbs, heavy legs from Day 1, and some seriously warm conditions set the tone.
What followed was pure, unfiltered Epic carnage. Some riders made the smart call to bypass Zoncolan, while others took it on only around 10 campers conquered it. INSANELY steep with almost no respite, everyone was forced to stop more than once, and plenty had to walk sections just to keep moving forward.
Completing the climb at wasn’t the end of it. After emptying the tank on Zoncolan, there was still 90km to get back to Cortina d'Ampezzo… with more climbing, of course.
200km all up with ~4,400m of elevation. Slow going, plenty of stops, bike paths, intersections..... and for some, a 12-hour day in the saddle.
This is what Epic Camp is all about 💥
