One of the greatest days ever on a bike.
This was my third time doing this well organized event. It’s an absolutely beautiful route, surrounded by Swiss mountains throughout.
The huge mountain massif between Grenoble and Chambéry is the Parc naturel régional de Chartreuse. Beautiful mountains and some great cycling.
Higher, harder, prettier, and a fraction of the traffic of its neighbor Alpe d’Huez.
One doesn’t cycle as much as I do without a loving and supportive wife. So I proudly present the 10 best climbs cycled by my wife!
A superb day climbing in the French Alps. The plan was for two long, beautiful, but not too steep, climbs.
It’s becoming the summer of beautiful Alpine Lake / Dam rides. But this time I went another 14 kilometres past the dam.
This is one of my very favourite cycling routes. A steep, beautiful climb, surrounded by high mountains.
Perhaps the best ride of the year. Certainly the most beautiful.
