It's worth a detour from the north side to ride up to Bergün and back down.
We haven't ridden the Albula for a while, and it seems it's got a bit worse.

Morten Schmidt in Denmark has this to say from May 2003.
This road is so bumpy that even if you have super-human shoulder muscles and a perfect suspension on the bike (I have a Maxton-modded fork and Technoflex shock - muscles are another matter...) you would still not be able to enjoy it. By the time we had passed the bumpy section we were too exhausted to enjoy the good part. Simply not worth the effort, and most definately not worth a bronze seal, in our opinion. Wish we'd gone by Julier Pass instead and given that a try.
