Another dark, foggy day in Geneva, with low cloud cover. Only one thing to do …. get above it into the sun.
A hilly, scenic ride on quiet roads above Nantua in the Jura mountains.
A superb loop through the Jura mountains – including eight Cols (three for the first time).
The route includes 3 Cols but the detour up Mont d’Or and it’s leg crushing final kilometre is the highlight of this loop through the French and Swiss Jura mountains.
A beautiful loop through the Haut Juras – finishing with a superb climb through and above the Gorges du Flumens.
Le cycle magazine once called this possibly the most difficult climb in France. An exaggeration, but tough work!
Two more VERY steep climbs in the Swiss Juras.
Another couple of great – virtually car free – climbs in the Jura mountains.
And some friendly Chartreuse Monks
