One of the greatest days ever on a bike.



La Ville des Glaciers and Les Arcs 2000

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

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

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



Grosse Scheidegg and above to First

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

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



Lac de Moiry (and Zinal)

By • Jul 19th, 2010 • Category: Climbs, Cycling, Favorites

I love climbs to Alpine dams/lakes. And the ascent to Lac de Moiry has to be one of the hardest.

An unbelievably steep, but absolutely stunning route.
