There's a post on the My Mc Phoenix site about some of the European 2014 Pan Clan Meet held earlier this month and Tremola Pass was one of their rides.
View of the pass from up top.

:like Good find Allan
Looks like a great ride but I think I would get sick of all the corners ever thought I do and we all like windey roads
-
When I first started watching them riding down I was thinking "What's wrong with these guys they are going so slow"
Then I realized there isn't much stopping them from going straight off the edge if anything happens :eek (Like a slip on the loose rocks on the road in places or "Cow Corner" >:())
All in all it looks like and awesome ride with great views :thumbsup
Thanks for sharing the vid with us Allan :thumbsup

The GPS would not know whether it was coming or going.

Gah.... your teeth would be chattering at the end of that with all those cobble stones

The cobblestone are there from the old horse and cart days and the road is now a historic tourist route.
The new faster road on the other side of the pass looks like a row of windows along the side of a mountain in places which an idea of is at 1:50 in the Tremola Pass clip.
It seems the new road is the more boring of the two but it was the return route they took. Take note of the road works at about the 3 minute mark; only warning signs.
The new road

Is the video blurred because of the cobblestones or a crap camera?
Not many places to go if you happen to over cook it though !! I think it would be worth a trip to Switzerland for the Armco salesman, it doesn't look like they've heard of it.
Jokes aside, a European ride is on my bucket list. It would be awesome. I did look up ST1300 hire once from memory it was $129 per day ex London. Has anybody here done it?
