Passo Gavia! (both sides)

September 1st, 2010

One of the greatest days ever on a bike.



The 2010 Gruyère Cycling Tour

August 30th, 2010

This was my third time doing this well organized event. It’s an absolutely beautiful route, surrounded by Swiss mountains throughout.



Col Hunting in the Chartreuse Alps

August 21st, 2010

The huge mountain massif between Grenoble and Chambéry is the Parc naturel régional de Chartreuse. Beautiful mountains and some great cycling.



Col du Sabot

August 19th, 2010

Higher, harder, prettier, and a fraction of the traffic of its neighbor Alpe d’Huez.



La Ville des Glaciers and Les Arcs 2000

August 8th, 2010

A superb day climbing in the French Alps. The plan was for two long, beautiful, but not too steep, climbs.



Lac de Mauvoisin and up to Chanrion

August 6th, 2010

It’s becoming the summer of beautiful Alpine Lake / Dam rides. But this time I went another 14 kilometres past the dam.



Murren and Above

August 3rd, 2010

This is one of my very favourite cycling routes. A steep, beautiful climb, surrounded by high mountains.



Grosse Scheidegg and above to First

August 1st, 2010

Perhaps the best ride of the year. Certainly the most beautiful.



Col des Aravis and above to Col de l’Arpettaz

July 28th, 2010

At Col des Aravis begins a terrific farm track all the way to Col de l’Arpettaz roughly 15 kms away. This was the highlight of the ride.



Mattmark See

July 25th, 2010

Another fantastic and huge climb to an alpine dam / lake.
