Afternoon trip to recover my sunglasses left in a cafe in Orta. This gave me the opportunity to cycle around the headland of Orta then ride up to Armeno in the route I normally ride down.

This climb is a nice little switchback road which means the descent, on foot, is fairly short.  The descent is down a steep track from the chapel and fairly quick.

Main climb was pleasant but still finding the very steep ramps hard. Little shake down of the bike after the trip.

A trip to Orta isn't complete without a Coiromonte. Well that is not really true but it is quite an interesting climb and only takes just over an hour.

This is effectively a rest day. A little ride up to Coiromonte via the hair pins. Riding out of Pettenasco is hard - a series of steep ramps at 15% but by the Coiromonte climb I was warmed up a bit.
