2018 K1600GT climbing Passo San Marco

Starting out travelling through a few beautiful villages lakeside at Lake Como and heading to Passo San Marco.
The San Marco Pass is a mountain pass that links Val Brembana with Valtellina in the Bergamo Alps.
History
In the late 16th century, the city of Bergamo and its surrounding areas were part of the Republic of Venice and Valtellina was part of the Grisons. In the late years of the century the Republic of Venice decided to build a new road, that without crossing the Duchy of Milan, can create a new road ties between the Grisons and the Republic. So the paved road of San Marco Pass was built. Close to the pass at 1830 m above the sea level there is a house also built in the late 16th century to provide care to the travelers during winter time. In the years after the World War II a new road has been built. (wiki)

Your videos bring back memories of my 27 years and riding 220+ different passes over the years, many of them countless times. 2023 was my last year. And videos these days are so nice and clear.

The reason I started recording some of my trips was for the simple reason of having something to look back on during wintertime when I can't go out riding. There are lots of memories connected to these rides that are not necessarily filmed or otherwise documented, but they are naturally recalled when looking at the scenery and such in the various places that we travel through. I am glad it brought back some memories for you and thank you for watching! :)

Enjoyed vid and subscribed ….. great camera positioning ,next best thing to riding it myself ….. don’t know how you can ride without gloves of sorts for protection though 😳

Thanks Tony, and welcome aboard! I normally always wear gloves when riding but this time my remote died and I had to use an app on the phone in order to control 2 cameras. Impossible with gloves on. Sadly, the app didnt work well though. It said both cameras was connected but the rear one was not.
