Dolomiti I went on an 8 day cycling tour from the foothills of the Italian Dolomites above Venice, riding deep into Northern Italy, swinging into Slovenia and the Soca valley, and finally heading towards the finish in Trieste. Went with four other friends, it’s basically the best way we know how to spend holiday time… a mix of nose-to-the-ground exploration of land and culture, butchering the Italian language at local refugios, trying a thousand new cheeses and beers.
