Forclaz is only an 8km climb but its very steep. Note the 13% grade road sign on the right side of Martin in the photo below.

Great ride and pizza and frites in old Annecy afterwards.

    hey!

    I just stayed at Annecy and did the lake loop and the Col de la Forlcaz climb.

    FAAAAAAAARKKKK. It was tough. I’m from Sydney, we don’t have hills like that.

    Viva La France!! Thanks for the photos!
