my '22 CX has been around the alps/dolomites very year since I got it. on both standard suspension & nitrons. two chunky 100kg passengers & two 10-12kg duffel bags on the rack plus the rear shelf stuffed with water bottles , cameras etc. I take all the back roads including single track. there can be lots of road works on the passes too, with rough unpaved sections ......never grounded yet!
they do stick me on the single deck euro shuttle tho' (car identified as a low vehicle). in town, I just do the usual speed hump management.
ive also got lots of tips on routes if its the first time you've done it .. you're not too far away.
Thanks for that very helpful, I had picked up on the need to ask for the single deck euro shuttle. It's been decades since I've done that area on tour, last time was on a Harley in the early 90's, so we are looking forward to it., loved the region and toured a fair bit when I worked on assignment for six months based at Lake Garda in the late 70's. Hopefully it hasn't changed too much or at least for the better.any highlights you would recommend let me know by email., especially the routes there and back good hotels etc. as I want to avoid France..........nothing against the french, just want to see parts of Germany. Switzerland and avoid tolls..
